It did a lot worse than v 4 and 5 on the same machine. And the performance in Cubase SX is not good on Mac. I remember waiting longer for upgrades on Mac. Steinberg always takes the PC version first, and Mac second. And a lot of cool MIDI stuff had been removed from the program. And besides me not getting used to the new layout, I think Cubase from SX1 and up have a terrible GUI. They had moved everything around, new layouts and new menus. I could not recognize Cubase anymore when I first started the SX version. I started using Cubase at v 4.0 on Mac (Used Cakewalk on PC before that) I Liked Cubase, until the SX version came out.

#Cubase vs pro tools vs logic mac os x
PowerMac Dual 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) Logic Pro, NI Komplete, Akoustik Piano, Philharmonik, Firebox, Gin Performance is much better on my machine in LP than Cubase by a mile (I use almost exclusively VI's).Īlso remember Cubase isn't UB yet so you can't run it on your Mac Pro unti Steinberg get their fingers out (probably later this year). Once I tried Logic, I must say I immediately sold Cubase SX and bought LP. A few multi channel instruments and you have 48 extra tracks to either hide, delete or otherwise deal with. I know you can hide them in a folder but it is still sixteen or so extra tracks right there in your arrange page to negotiate. E.g., insert a VI in a MIDI track in Cubase and bang!, an audio track is automatically created for all it's outputs. They've put so much into it, given options for everything and alternative methods to achieve the same thing to suit as many ways of working as possible that it takes forever to achieve anything. It's a very powerful and flexible sequencer but it's the flexibility that makes it a hinderance to the creative flow. Re Cubase, I got tired of clicking everywhere and the busy screens with buttons everywhere. I thought I would have another look at Logic and guess what? Perfectly understandable and the environment, that bane of the newbie's Logic experience, actually makes perfect sense! But you need to understand how recording process works - it's not for the uninitiated. Couldn't get to grips with it so went round all the others, Tracktion, DP, Live, Pro Tools and recently Cubase SX. Slightly more complicated to assign tracks toĭitto, I started on Logic when it was still eMagic but it was my first DAW.
#Cubase vs pro tools vs logic software
Software like Logic/Cubase, but I did find it

To be honest I suspect that my "issues" with LogicĮxpress were more to due with me being new to
