[MPA] Audio/MIDI apps

[CM McDonald]

FWIW I find USB MIDI interfaces to be less than 100% reliable and would 
prefer to get in to FireWire.

If you need versatile music scoring capabilities along with MIDI and 
audio, then Cubase would do well. There are several versions and the 
latest  full app is very powerful but easy to learn and use the main 
functions. There are whole areas in it that I don't need and have 
forgotten how/never had the time to find out etc.

I haven't kept up with Logic as I need cross platform capability.

BTW your post seems to have acquired an embedded image which makes it 
very hard to reply on this list.

Hope this helps,

Colin McDonald
