I was recommended to visit this forum from a friend of mine.
BACKGROUND
I used to live in Oklahoma and there weren't any drummers in my town. I always wanted to do something more extreme than the local metal bands so I decided to go solo and use a drum machine. I went from using a hardware drum machine to using software, from crappy samples to the original Drumkit From Hell. I make grindcore music and black metal. When I first started with the grindcore music I tried to focus more on the cyber aspect, making the music over the top and ridiculous. Then I gradually tried to make it more natural, to the point that now the grindcore I make is really organic sounding and not too over-the-top. The black metal music I make is of the grim variety, akin to Darkthrone, Sargeist, Xasthur, etc.
QUESTION
I've come upon some money so I decided to finally invest in some quality gear and software. I've always used hacked versions and whatnot and now that I can afford to I want to move to the real thing. Also, I just recently moved to Mac, acquiring a brand-new PowerBook about two months ago. So I'm fairly new to the Mac. I'm also getting Drumkit From Hell Superior.
I need a sequencer for programming my drums, and also recording guitar. I know of Logic and Cubase and Digital Performer. Which of these would be best for me to use? I know that's a really broad, open-ended question, but I'd like some opinions.
I also make electronic music akin to Aphex Twin and Squarepusher.
Any advice would be great. Thank you.
