well... I just ordered a mac

[AmirH]

2.16 gig macbook w/2 gigs ram and 160 gig harddrive. Got an external harddrive, saffire pro and hs80m's on layaway to go with it Here's hoping the transition will be an easy one

 

[AudioPhile777]

What were/are you using before?

 

[AmirH]

Very old custom pc. 2 gig pentium III with 512 mb ram to be precise, and an emu 1212m, berry pre, senn h280 pros and px100's for the audio. Big big upgrade.

Also:

Your going to notice a big ass improvement between machines as far as speed.

 

[AmirH]

What DAW you gonna use?

I actually don't know yet. I've been using nuendo and before that I used audition. Thing is... I'm not sure I wanna stick with the whole cubase/nuendo thing- I don't like the fact that most effects/processing of any worth have to be found in outside plugs. It excels way more in midi than anything else. I've been considering Logic pro, and digital performer and kinda tottering towards logic cuz I've heard dp is a bitch to learn. Any opinions?

No opinions because I have only used cubase and audition lol sorry.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I think once reaper for mac comes out I am gonna give that a try.

Logic Pro is the best way to go, it's bounce algorithms are superior to any other, and the resulting sound is very clean, noticeable.

Heh... Logic Pro is ONE way to go, hardly the best. AFAIK, Amir's sticking w/Cubase, as it's what he knows.

 

[AmirH]

umm... read the above post man- seriously considering ditching nuendo/cubase for the reasons mentioned. I will run it in the meantime in xp until I figure out what I'm getting for osx.

 

[JeffTD]

Oh wow I'm an idiot.

DP was a bitch for me, but Logic Pro has some quirks of it's own. DFHS sucks in it, for one... get ready to learn programming on a piano roll . That, and it's not sample accurate.


Buuut, it has the best stock plugins EVAR. Hell, Space Designer is my favorite reverb plugin, period.

actually the common opinion ist that logic sounds far inferior to cubase and PT.....

 

[James Murphy]

Logic "Pro" sucks. full stop.

Logic "Pro" sucks. full stop.

I use it and am really happy with it. what makes you say that?
