even tho Muzys is dead, I still have loyalty to the program... The problem is that as of a week ago, I am using an imac G5 with osX, and Muzys is a classic app... So i figured i would just run the "classic" "emulator" and everything would work fine... I played a mix and the sound came out all choppy, like the CPU was being overloaded or something, but when i looked at the CPU meter, it was only at 5...
Maybe some of you have had this experience with another program??.. This is actualy the second program im having this problem with... any help would be awsome, and greatly appreciated...
also, could any muzys users reccomend a new program that could take muzys place??
os9 Program not working well in osX classic, please help

You will never cease to have problems with any OS9 programs that need to access system hardware. Classic compatibility was meant more for word processing and spreadsheet programs than anything else. The OS9 program needs to go through OSX in order to access system hardware, like soundcards.
Sorry to say, but you won't be able to get stable audio streaming from a Classic application. With MIDI, you may have a chance, using MIDIBridge (x (still in beta, but you can download the demo here: http://www.troikatronix.com/midibridge9x.html)
I've never used Muzys, as I started off in Logic, but depending on your needs you can try Garage Band for now (and it should already be installed on your machine). Other options include Cubase, Logic, and Digital Performer. Cubase and Logic also have limited versions for less moola.

What I see in the DAW market is feature convergence. When one major manufacturer comes up with an amazing new feature, its usually universally implemented in all major DAWs within 12-18 months.
So the answer is yes, they all do basically the same things.
So the difference becomes:
1. Workflow - which sequencer do you find fits you best? Which is intuitive, logically laid out, and allows for customization to your style of work, and your style of music.
2. Sound - If you take 24 tracks and mix them together, which DAW will give you the best sound? Waitaminit, they're all digital, so its all addition and subtraction, right? Nope, some say this DAW sounds better than that and others say that DAW is better than this. Ultimately, the sound is close enough, that you'll hear a difference only by very close inspection, and it may be that your monitoring setup will not reveal the differences.
3. Compatibility - We all know ProTools is the industry standard at the present, (whether it remains that way will be seen) but which DAW makes it easiest to share my song with a Nuendo User, a Sonar User, a Samplitude user, etc. or take my song to that $250,000 studio to have it mixed by professionals? Or my network of musicians that I normally work with primarily use ________ so it makes sense for me to use __________ as well. Which plugins can I use in my DAW? Samples? Loops?
My suggestion is to try demos, where possible.
Also, ref. MIDIBridge. Its manufacturers are working to get it to be compatible with an array of OS9 software. But even if you do get it working with muzys, you will be limited to MIDI, and won't be able to do audio in Muzys. But if you do get it working, shoot them an email so they can add it to their compatibility list.
