Hi Dennis.

The studio I work part-time at has always used Cubase so I became
accustomed using it there, it was much easier to transfer work home and
back. Also, Cubase is a lot more full featured (at least w/MIDI) than SX
is, and I actually like Cubase for many things. I stopped the Logic upgrade
path at 4.8x and made the switch instead of going to version 5. What I miss
are some of Logic's convenient MIDI features and well thought out key
commands. Cubase can do most of the same things Logic can but it takes a
little more work, some things Cubase does much easier, it depends on how
you work. I'm much more of a "traditional" musician in the fact that I play
most everything, degree in music....etc. I think I've only used a pre-made
loop once, in a television commercial. I'm thinking about purchasing Acid
and moving into the 90's. :-)

One of my links references a standard "The Very Thought of You", that's how
traditional I am. <g> 

When I first bought Logic, (a MIDI only version) it seemed a program
designed for musicians by musicians... In it's recent incarnations Logic's
new features seem geared more towards dance and newer styles. Two things I
used on a regular basis: 1. External Editing and, 2. Syncing to an external
source have both been trashed since version 4.xx. Actually external sync
worked well up until the unified MIDI engine of version 4.7. I still have
version 4.6.1 on my machine as it's the last reliable version with external
sync.  

And as others have mentioned, I don't want all my eggs in one basket, I'm
sticking with PCs so why not support a company that supports me.

Howard, (in love/hate relationship w/logic)
