Posted by pudge on from the really-i-swear dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Steinberg's flagship Cubase SX is shipping now, with support for CoreAudio, CoreMidi, VST Plugin support, Rewire, and REXort.
Now only ProTools and Digital Performer are left on the Mac OS 9 side. When do they follow?" Well, ProTools for Mac OS X has already been announced.

    I did some of my best audio editing with 5 - 10 instances of Sound Recorder open while copying/pasting/recording over and over until I got the results I wanted. This kept the entire process mental instead of getting lost in mulit-track timelines.

    Is there a Sound Recorder equivalent for OSX (other than Quicktime)?

    (I'm planning to buy 10.3, which I expect to be another full-price upgrade announced at MacWorld next spring.)
    I'm afraid you're setting yourself up for another substantial period of frustration,then. 10.3 will almost certainly be a free (or $19.95 for the media distribution, depending how you get it) upgrade for 10.2 owners, just as 10.1 was from 10.0.

    Then 10.4 (or 11.0) will come out, and that will be another full-pay upgrade and you'll have another period of time where you'll be frustrated. At least, that's would be most consistent with Apple's release schedule so far.

    I'd advise biting the bullet and getting in synch with Apple... you'll be less frustrated in the end, IMO. Fighting Steve is a lost cause... Steve gets what Steve wants.

    [rant] Am I the only composer on the face of the planet who wants Finale to be ported to OS X? It's an industry standard for producing professional-quality scores. Their website says "Runs under classic mode," which I translate into "too much hassle to port." But there's a 2003 version. ARGH. [/rant]
