I prfre be honnte: I did not test the official version, but that plutt a "train" on the net, because Cubase enthusiast for over 15 years, I really wanted bte test before purchase. To reassure readers, I plan to order the end (for bnficier all plugs, instruments, sound libraries, etc. ..). I have not any package or Access in updates and the installation is very easy because of the coup is a small file.

Only problem to install: in need of updater "pro application support" without which a does not work on my g5 bipro, some plugins can not really recognized, but in the end, with some updates ncessaires while traveling

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Here's what I've experienced:
8-logic with:
Some plug-in effects (waves musician bundle II, Altiverb, Waves art, grm tools)
-Some virtual instruments (the native, in kontakt sampler, lounge lizard, bfd drums ...)
Behringer bcf-2000 in a remote (in Mackie Control mode, I will also try to control logic in the near future that seems more ... ;=))> logic in any case, no known direct problem
-P80 as a midi keyboard
with sound cards:
-Presonus inspire
Presonus FireStudio-
Card's internal

two BCAN:
1. iBook G4 1.33 / 1GB Ram / 7200trm internal drive (Hitachi Travelstar) + 100 GB external usb2 sound file (Seagate) / os 10.4.11

> Wow, coming from cubase (le, cubase sx and rcemment 4), yet I like a lot, I t trs happy. trs I fear change, but I wanted to try it since everyone says it's optimized for mac as the porting of pc mac cubase rput is a crock. and yay!

I actually "reconstituquot, (same number of track, same plugs, ..) in the same session sx, cubase 4 and logic ... the o cubase finishing my machine at the proc (20 30 tracks, insert around which a lot of waves, send in Altiverb 3), the equivalent in logic became exploitable done everything .. I would not really smooth either, still has a small config to mix a title, but there is clearly a better value, which is trs apprciable for a laptop! So, really happy with the perf trs!
2. PowerMac G5 2x2.3Ghz / 4 GB RAM / 2 internal disk 7200trm + sound file on an external usb2 (Seagate) / 256 mb video card dual dvi / Cinema Display 20''/ os 10.4.11

um, this time I open the same session and always ... WOWWWW!! sr good though, it's not the same machine, not the same step, but it's an incredible fluidity, the interface is beautiful trs, class, clear ... boss with 15 years on versions of the same soft, I thought it would be a trs drive, yet after an hour of use, I even d j of RFLEX .. Briefly, a running fire of God, I go down the latency of 512 32, and each proc is 30/40% max usage (according to meters ).... leaves room! in addition to 30 tracks, plug everywhere, I run across samplers with several GB of its banks, and all Ragit well ... a great slaughter in fact!

I feel like I have an app that actually goes well with my mac: it's beautiful, the display on the cinema display 20 inches and perfect for work, I intended to use it in dual screen, but I think it is even not worth actually. the interface is super smooth, I feel like its just a diffrent of cubase, but I could not explain it in fact ... in both cases, trs Well, it's even the sound of which is taken as Determines!
did not test the plug Intgr, bossa mainly with plug waves. convo reverb sound seemed much trs. it consumes a little more qu'altiverb, and as I have my habits, it is this that I used dernire.
the eq seemed to me as well .. trs I take the waves for prcis stuff, but cut down, was a well-trs.
Automation is clear, works well ..

short, it really is a super soft, I'm dj converted in the heart I have to say!

OVERALL OPINION

Use only been just two weeks, really trs well, even if you have to think long press on an insert to put a plug (when coming from cubase, you do not think to yourself!) - )

from cubase, since it is about me:
Dpaysement toddler, but it's super pretty, it seems to have a new toy
-Better optimization, trs clearly!

here I'll buy it, I have to bone up hte entire manual to have keyboard shortcuts in the legs, trying mainstage, etc. ... but I'm really convinced!
