i've ditched Cubase for composition for Logic about a year ago and there are things in Logic which seriously go on my nerves, i'm also not impressed about the performance on my system. but in all fairness, Cubase 4.2 is still a hell of a DAW (when it works that is) and does things in a way that i personnaly find more straightforward and practical, but maybe it's just because i'm so used to it having worked with it for 10 years or so. i HATE steinberg, their attitude towards their customers doesn't cease to amaze me and other long term users. I'm sorry if I'm not describing my needs very clearly but I am, as I say, a beginner and I don't clearly understand them myself.ĭon't get me wrong about cubase. At the moment I go direct from Elysium (my app) to Kore giving me very little ability to reproduce a composition or alter it. This last is my main reason for looking at a DAW.
Also to be able to manipulate, then play through Kore experimenting with different instruments and sounds. I like the idea of being able to see that stream of notes in Logic as musical notation so that as I learn more about reading music I can feed that knowledge back into the creation process. I'm doing this using a generative MIDI sequencing application I wrote. īy "composition" I meant that I am experimenting with composing music at the level of assembling, and modifying, patterns of notes to find something interesting. I am however very interested, willing to put a lot of spare time & cash into it, learning, playing, enjoying. Ĭlick to expand.Making music has become my hobby so I'm not serious in the sense of "make a living", "be a professional", etc. it's a bit like choosing between Mercedes, BMW and Audi. these softs are all great tools, choose the tool you 'like' most and take it from there.
If you're at any point planning to play live with a DAW, then Live is your only serious choice.Ĭoncerning the performance you will hear almost any variation of which DAW runs more tracks or plugins on the net. Ableton have been very helpfull and reactive in the past years and there are a number of workaround solutions via config scripts and quite frequent updates. both steinberg and apple are not very customer friendly and will let you hang out to dry without bugfixes for ages. working with VST instruments is much better handled in cubase as well. įor notation, midi editing and processing, and general routing i think cubase is still far ahead of the others.
the instruments in Logic are better than in the others i think, although if you're into electronic music, the Ableton Live Suite instruments are cool as well. all have their drawbacks n advantages, all will crash on you at some point or infuriate you with some bugs n performance problems. For composition i would go with cubase, logic or performer.
