Logic 5.5 on pc. Probably using about 5% of it's capablilities. Probably should switch to cubase sx but figure I'll just stick with this and maybe buy a mac by the time Logic 12 is out if I can save any money ever.

I love using Reason, 3 hours to complete a track!! Are you mad! Usually takes me a few weeks still, depends on the vibe I'm in.

Logic Pro.

I like the way Live sounds, but find it the most confusing sequencer ever (while Logic is pretty much clear as day, go figure).

Was messing around with Nuendo the other day, it's got an incredible interface. I'll have to get into it a bit deeper to see if it goes beyond skin deep.

The freeze function on VST tracks is a lot better and can be accesed with a right click. You can also "fold" Midi tracks i.e turn them into audio files easily. The faders are a lot better - you can now increace their height and they show there are two boxes showing the peak reading and the level at which the fader is at. They also have tick marks on the side as well. The instrumant racks make it easier to layer sounds. You can have different cross fader curves - but I don't really give a shit about that. The file system is a bit neater but there have been reports of it screwing up your old files - no problems here.

If these are the kind of things you want then its worth it. Otherwise stick with 5. Sampler is NOT included with Live 6. It's an add-on, like Operator - you pay extra.

Just ask yourself: do you really need to buy it?

Recently made the change from Reason 2.5 to Cubase SX, taken a few weeks of fucking about with it to learn all the short cuts etc.

Main reason i havent written any new tracks recently but i should have my Cubase debut up in a week or so.

Awesome, three way tie between the three most popular programs. What's that say to you about music production?

I start with Reason then export tracks individually to ProTools, which I finally broke down and bought the upgrade to LE 7.1. I love Logic too, but I can't afford it yet.
