Re: [elektron] I want to use my Sidstation with Cubase 5 - Does it make sense?

2002-09-12 by Flavio Alvarez

Sorry, Dr W., but I have to disagree a little. You can
start a Protools package with an M-box. You get
Protools LE, a nice in/out portable rig and it will
cost you less than $500 (And I'm not contesting your
opinion of protools's MIDI capabilities). Of course,
later on, protools plug in are crazy expensive.
In terms of learning Sonar because it's "easier", I'd
say it's easier learning ONE program ever, and not
learning one now, one next year, and so on. If you
work in PC I'd say Cubase. If you work Mac, think
about it a little bit. Still, that Mbox looks very
appealing.
