I had to use Reaper for a job last summer and it drove me as crazy as when I tried it pre-beta way back (usually referred to as alpha stage and under tight lips sink ships). I have to use ProTools for some client stuff, and the midi stuff isn't nearly as bad as it used to be. I would also suggest you also take a look at Reaper. If I didn't have so much time invested in Logic, I'd switch to DP. since I was a Nuendo user on PC- but didn't totally bond with it. I'm updating to a Mac Studio in a few months, but still waiting till they get all the M1 chip compatibility issues fixed, and I finish up some projects. Other than maxing it out with some track counts in Logic and Omnisphere occasionally choking it- it runs fairly well. How is the memory situation in your Imac? I will say in the studio, I still run a 2012 Mac I7 Mini with with Catalina and 16gb and internal SSD. Recently needed to pull up some old Sonar projects- I bought a cheap refurbished Win7 box on Ebay, stuffed it with 32 gb memory and internal SSD and was very pleasantly surprised how well Bandlab ran. Not sure if you're aware- Bandlab has resurrected Cakewalk (it's basically Sonar 8 without the bugs and a few of the 3rd party plugs.). I'll come back to this later yet another interruption from my disaster recovery team after last night's great deluge from the hurricane. It may have the most intuitive and well-integrated sound-for-film editing strip, at least for apps that run on macOS. my gigantic templates as well as no MIDI support for many years, and with Cakewalk having come and gone at least twice, the other DAW's are mostly uber-expensive, toyish, or loop-based.ĭP was my choice way back, due to being the closest to traditional analog workflow (as is PT but Avid still has some annoying policies that make me hesitant to buy into the "industry standard"). Having sold Studio One (I could never get on with that product), and historically avoiding Pro Tools due to track count vs. Not thrilled about hundred of dollars spent. I could never get my recent Steinberg non-dongle licenses to hold, and as they didn't respond to my ticket in March and I've been in non-stop disaster recovery mode since then, I'm not sure I'll get any sympathy when I finally find time to re-contact them. Either could be an option, but any additional ideas from here would be great.įilm and media people used to be big on DP, and still are, but are probably split more evenly now between MOTU, Steinberg, and Apple products. I've started reading up on UJAM Virtual Drummer Hot, and Jamstix 4. One thing I would miss in converting over is Drummer. I've attempted a couple of those, so info on some that are clear, concise and to the point would be helpful. So solid tutorials that fellow users here can point me to would be great. An upgraded PC would eventually be much easier on the wallet.įull-blown Cubase is quite a bit deeper than Cubasis, and does have a steeper learning curve than Logic. So a big reason for taking a look at switching over to Cubase - especially for the home-based rig - is the cost of a replacing the iMac and even going with a new Mac laptop is aggravating, $$-wise. We've gotten the iMac to return to normal a few times, but I'm not counting on it lasting too much longer. I didn't install it on the iMac because that computer has been super-glitchy over the past year and a half every few months it becomes 'possessed' in its interractions with Logic - among other apps, and even Sweetwater's tech support team was flummoxed at times by it. I also have Cubasis 3 on a iPad Pro, which has sometimes been a teaching tool.Ĭubase 12 runs best on my basic Acer PC laptop, far better than on the 2012 MBP (Catalina not being officially supported by Steinberg). I've been using Logic Pro X for 10+ years, right now on a 2015 iMac and 2012 MBP w/Catalina (last OS for that model) iMac at home, MBP at a teaching studio. Earlier this week I downloaded the free (for 30 days) version of Cubase Pro 12.
