What a depressing thread!
It’s unfortunate that I agree with 90% of what’s been written. I’m currently making a slow transition to Logic having been a Cubase and PC man all my life. 90% of my clients are using Logic and there’s a demand for me to be able to send sessions back and forth as I mix them, so I have little choice. I can’t stand Logic and not a fan of Mac’s either! Age and Cubase muscle memory are not on my side… I don’t tell my clients I use Cubase any more, half of them have never heard of it and the others are under the impression it’s not a ‘pro’ DAW bless them.
I’ve defended and stuck by Cubase for a long long time, but simple economics is driving me to adapt to other platforms. I’ll continue to use Cubase for my own projects and see where the whole Logic thing takes me.
Did you know Logic (also Ableton, Fl Studio) doesn’t have PDC on group tracks?
Or their latency issues & muti-core supporting, and I can continue that kind of list, more & more. Because I’m member of one big community (in Russia) where many of us get inside “Daw vs Daw war”. Where every person trying to explain why their daw best and flexible the others in market. And in same time they explain what they hate in their daw.
Every war finish only with 2 DAWs who works ALMOST perfect:
Cubase
Reaper
Others have tons of IMPORTANT issues (PDC first one)
So, I’m wondering, how you guys keep blame cubase, in same time that we don’t have good & strong alternative.
Yes, they should fix bugs, yes need some improvements. But I’m pretty sure Developers already know, and strategy for implementing all fixes and new features - ready.
Stay safe
I’m well aware of the downsides of Logic. I prefer Cubase and, where I can, I will continue to use it, Ibut 'm having to adapt to new ways of working and that means I have to use Logic.
I’m wondering why you say there isn’t a good alternative when almost every single client I work with is producing records using Logic without complaint?
