Hello everybody,
I've been a Digital Performer user since 1998, then switched to Logic 5 for various reasons, mostly being that I \"had to\" to keep jobs and sessions compatible with studios I was collaborating with and projects I had going on. I upgraded to Logic 6, 7 just to discover that Logic was going to be come a major pain in the back.
Months ago, before Logic 8 release, Logic left me without part of a session I had recently done. Data lost after frequent crashes, no apparent reason even after reinstalling a clean system etc. Easy come, easy go: I moved back to Digital Performer 5.12 and I am loving it.
Since I happen to work with clients who know and use Cubase - even if they only do this without tracking/mixing etc. which is mainly the reason why they come to my studio instead of doing it themselves - I was thinking about purchasing a competitive upgrade to Cubase 4.
I've noticed Nuendo might be good as well if not probably better but it's way too expensive that - pardon me - makes it look even more funny than Logic when it was as high as 1000 dollars (I regret having paid for that expensive necklace key SO MUCH but I understand things like this happen from time to time..).
Logic 8 looks like GarageBand and - I might be wrong - is also close to work and sound like GarageBand. My UAD-1e works perfectly with DP 5.12 but I've heard good things about the whole Cubase thing so..
would you think a competitive upgrade to C4 would be a good thing? How does the UAD-1e behave with it (I've read positive opinions already, on the board).
Does Cubase 4 (like Nuendo) sound better than other DAW applications because of its 32-bit floating point possibilities? I would appreciate if someone can share some knowledge on this because mine is - at the moment - very limited..does 32-bit floating sound better than 24-bit? or at least does it require less CPU work from the computer (I've read this somewhere, I believe)?
I have a PowerMac G5 Dual Core 2Ghz, 3Gb RAM. Motu 828MkII, Digi002 Rack, 1xUAD-1e.
Thanks in advance for any kind of help and also thanks for the incredible amount of knowledge-share I've found on this board already: you don't know but it's really helping me to get a \"heads-up\".
Thank you!
