If Cubase does it for you, more power to you. (I'll >just point out that I have ES2, EVD6, EVB3 &c. Neener neener :-) I've atually gravitated to Nuendo. But have my choice, depending on project, of SX, Nuendo, Logic, or MOTU. Nuendo is great, but most of the time I'm in Digital Performer. I still think Logic is a bit of a leap for someone new to the whole biz (like the original poster). I use Nuendo or Cubase mainly because I have several hunded registered VST plugins. I always considered Cubase to be a "PC app", still do. I was an Opcode Vision person in the Eighties, and even they were very 'MIT-complicated-is-better"-oriented. I switched to Performer, then Digital Performer, for at home work. MOTU and Native Instruments (especuially NI), are my favorite things in audio. Was born and raised on the Left Coast, so I tend to favor Western-oriented apps over the MIT Unix, and Steinbergs, etc. But, I agree completely, it's a matter of taste, and I think a lot of the "this vs. that" stuff has to do with people being naturally prejudiced in favor of what they themselves use. 'Berkeley' Unix is actually better than Sys V (MIT) unix, though, it's a 'fact'. <laughs> ~flipper -- Kontakt, Reaktor, B4, FM7, Vokator, Spektral Delay, Battery, Absynth, Pro-53, Reason, Atmosphere, Lexicon, SpectraFoo, etc...
