Very interesting the success of Reaper
Some of the not expected losers: Logic.

Here the results from Gearslutz:

1. Cubase/Nuendo (59)
2. Pro Tools (47)
3. Logic (45)

another evidence of how the internet/forums tamper reality ...

The problem is that the Reaper team has too much zealots users on their hands, and there only dream is to convert people

I voted Reaper.

And FTR, I'm not interested in converting anybody...

I just wish Steinberg will fix bugs and improve performance at lower latency, then I can be fully satisfied.

I also use Logic 8 and it's nice for composition but I prefer Cubase 5 so far.
I wanna check out Logic 9 but I think I should probably finish my album first.

Maybe someone here can help me? I'm looking to buy a iMac 24" and I'm already using Cubase 5 as a host. Is this a bad choice?

Which are these bugs you're speaking of? I rather not walk away from Cubase 5 since I don't have the energy to learn a new host

But still, I want my new computer to fully function with the host I'm using!

If you are not using Logic at the moment and you are happy with Cubase 5, what is your reasoning for buying an iMac? I have both Mac and PC and I use Cubase as my main host. Cubase absolutely runs better on a PC. Sorry to say, since I do really like OS X as well but for using Cubase I mainly use the PC. I'm not trying to start Mac vs PC, sorry. Just had to chime in that Cubase runs far better on a PC in my experience (and others report this as well, search around). I'd walk away from the iMac rather than Cubase 5 if I were in your shoes, but that's just me.

A comment and a question:

#1- I can't vote for eXT 2.5 the same way I do for 1.4.1. Quite the opposite. And...

#2- Where's the option for Usine?

Yeah, I just like the general outlay of the iMac: Big screen, fast and smooth workingspace (or so I've heard) and compact. What about running XP on the iMac instead?

Thanks for the help!

You mean "how statistical cross sections can have different results based on their sampleset"?

hibidy · Post by **hibidy** » Sun Jul 26, 2009 8:59 pm

since there was no fist option (I mean........really

) I didn't vote.

I see cubarse and weeper are in the lead, not surprised.

It' a popular product, that is, if people are actually paying for it

Buying an Imac and running Windows on it is such a waste... Windows is a virus - OS X is a 1st class operating system. Stick with PC's - they're cheaper - Mac's aren't for everyone. I have an Imac and also a new Vista laptop - when it comes to recording (or anything creative actually) my Imac is all I need - never an issue with latency, drivers, etc. And OS X is everything Windows SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

I voted Live. I use Ableton Suite 8, but also use Reason 4 and Pro Tools LE regularly. I first used Cubase, but have found Live much better suited for the way I work.
