Steinberg Cubase SX Release for Mac OS X

RemiT writes "Steinberg plans to release a Mac OS X version of Cubase SX, their next generation of professional digital music production software. Indicated release date is after the end of Q2 2002, finally making good on Steinberg's commitment to support Mac OS X. (I wonder how long it will be before Mac stalwarts like Moby are using Mac OS X in concert...)"

    I've been using Cubase for years and I've been aching to use OS X on my music only G4, unforunately it's probably going to be a long time before i convert over to Cubase SX.

    The best part about Cubase is the VST plug in standard. There are dozens of freeware VST plug-ins and VST virtual instruments that may never get ported over to OS X. Untill they build up their plug in collection for SX, I'm sticking to 9.2 and Cubase 5.1

    I do have to give them praise for their new System Link standard -

    Now now of my old hardware will go to waste because i can link everything up as one system..sort of a Cubase "Beowulf" cluster...
    Which leads us to paraphrase the popular /. addage... "Imagine a System Link cluster of these!"
