Subject: Cubase SX 2 or Logic 5.5?
Original Message Date: 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.

Aiyaaa! Logic's no good for the long term - no ugrades on PC, Steinberg's stuff don't work with my hardware - Is it just fruity loops for me then? Or perhaps windows sound recorder? I joke, but does anyone have any good suggestions? Sonar maybe?

The manufacturers are working on a driver update to fix this...
SX1.x.x currently works schweet with the DSP2000, hope this clears things up!

Dancetech proves once again that it's THE one-stop shop for synth and computer music

Cheers,

Works fine with SX tho, not SX2 yet - but they usualy sort stuff fast

The automation on Cubase used to be terrible and I dont think this has changed much, for example in Logic you can open the automation and a list will be displayed of all the automatable parameters within a plug in. You can then choose one and draw lines in etc.
I dont think this is possible in SX, perhaps someone who actually uses it will clear this up.
