Well, apart from the usual suspects Logic, Cubase SX, Live and Digital Performer there’s also Intuem and Numerology. I can’t say much about similarities to Muzys as I’ve never used that host.

For anything OS X audio related www.osxaudio.com is a good place to start.

If you were making great use of the jam room in Muzys, then Live4 might be just for you.

If you were dealing a lot with Muzy's MIDI features, then Logic would be the way to go.

Anyways, get a simple to handle sampler with the new host, 'cause that's what Muzys basically was: A sampler/sequencer combination.
I'd recommend Battery for ease of use when you used to work with loops, Kontakt when you used Muzynth a lot. And if you used multisampled instruments it might be just as well Kontakt for use with Live4, but in case you go with Logic, there is EXS24 inside.

ableton live is a good tip for sure, me thinks.

Musyz?...it shouldn't be working in OSX at all? but... Go with Live! Logic is overkill if you ask me, and I have Reason, Live and Logic 7.0... 7.0 has some problems that need to be worked out in an update, but Live has unlimited potential if you really learn it's system... If you start with Live, it's much easier to adjust your workflow to it, rather than the other way around... Plus you get VST AND AU, which is kind of a bonus... The only negative? Optimization... Logic is still the best Optimized DAW app for the Mac!

I currently have reason, live, muzys, and ive tryed a few of the programs that were suggested, but I havnt found anything that works as easily as muzys... Cubase is good...

Thnx for your advice, Il check a few of these programs out

Renoise has an OSX version which is worth a look.

I use Live on my Mac powerbook and it is great on the Mac!

The cool thing is that (provided you have the same plugins for both platforms) you can move arrangements from PC to Mac and back.

another vote for live... although, i think cubase sx is a much better all-around daw

get sx3 if you need "live-style" audio stretching...

Best host for osX??
