Subject: Cubase SX 2 or Logic 5.5?
Original Message 1/19 19-Oct-03 @ 02:25 AM - Cubase SX 2 or Logic 5.5?
I have a PC (AMD Athlon 1400, 512ddr, 2 x 60 gig HDD, Hoontech C-Port Sound) and I've been thinking about investing in either Cubase SX 2 or Logic Audio Platinum 5.5. A friend told me that Cubase didn't have as good a quality sound as Logic - any opinions on that one?
So that I can try to make an educated decision (rather than just flipping a coin) I was wondering if anyone could point out a few of the pros or cons of either program - I'm looking to make mostly trance (have hardware - novation (A-station), yamaha Cs1x, Rm1x), possibly adding vocals or other instrumentation. I haven't ruled out the use of software synths sometime in the future either.
Any opinions or pointers would be most appreciated - I hope this isn't a totally pointless question (like asking which is better, vegemite or marmite, Holdens or Fords)
Thanks for your time!
Brett.

Go figure...I guess they don't want to lose out on a future user base. Maybe they woke up and remembered that most schools use PC's and not Mac's. (Any school on a budget, i.e. almost all of them, can get 2 or even 3 PC's for every Mac they purchase)

Hmm, I guess it's Cubase then - Is it true that its sound quality isn't all that? Would something like Sonar or Nuendo be a better option?

in fact, Id almost say just get SX1.06 and then buy the upgrade (it might even be FREE?) when they iron it out a bit.
steinberg has a habit of releasing stuff that is just a little bit less than finished
