RE: [exs] Logic on a mac

2002-07-05 by Terry Piper

I'm in the same boat as Sascha. I have invested more in PC related
software then that which I can run on a Mac. As much as I would love to
use a Mac for my audio work, I am tied into the PC and cannot afford to
buy a replacement machine such as the Mac.
 
I have already made enquiries about cross grading to Cubase SX, I have
taken a look at this software and I think it will deliver what most of
us PC Logic users want. The thing it cannot replace is the many, many
hours and experience gained using Logic.
 
I have decided that I am going to order SX, as the 300Eur is a very good
price and it will work out cheaper for me in the long run. Just a pity
that Steinberg are not doing the same cross grade deal for the EXS24 to
HALion product.
 
Regards
Terry

If you know me, you will also know that I am one of the most loyal Logic
supporters.
But shelling out around 2500 Euros (and that would be the LEAST amount
ot
money) for a Mac, just to own a machine that still is slower than what I
would get from upgrading my current machine (which would cost me 500
Euros
max.), is ridiculous.

I never had too much stability problems apart from the times where I was
testing a new beta or some new VST plugin either.
Call me a poor dude, OK, I am. I simply can't afford any Mac that would
deliver even the same performance that I am getting with my current
machine
(an Athlon 1GHz).
Yes, it's that easy for me. I just can't afford it, period. Maybe I
could if
it was for Logic only, but there's a whole bunch of apps I use regularly
that don't even exist on Macs. So I'd have to get at least some
replacements
(if there are any).

And that's just it.
Simple and sad - but still true. I will continue using what I have for a
while (maybe even for a long while), but Cubase SX sure looks more
tempting
than any Mac at the moment. At least in the long run.

Regards,
Sascha
