Anyone seen CUBASE SX I belive the sequencer is just like LOGIC?
I agree Logic is the best but using a BIG BANG approach instead of
enticing users over to MAC would have been better. Also multitasking
on PC ie running say more than one program at a time can this be done
on MAC? Magix has a scaled down version of LOGIC maybe they could pick
up the tread in future. Does anyone know if emagic has dropped their
SEQUIOA and SAMPLITUDE line as well for PC which was coming from Magix
or is it just for Logic windows that is no more on PC....trying crying
times.
