Apple's Logic Pro or Steinberg's Cubase?
My friend and I are starting electronica music production tonight and Steinberg Cubase we are debating if we should use Apple's Logic Pro or Steinberg's Cubase. We will be focusing on producing vocal trance, trance, and house styles of music. What does everyone think? We appreciate your opinions!

I use FL Studio myself, but I’m not sure if it’s the best for multitrack recording. You should give it a try (as you should for the other you mentioned, what works for me might not work for you)http://demo.flstudio.comIf you end up getting it, make sure you get at least the Producer Edition so you have the audio recording features. Here’s a link for 10% discount on it from the image-line online store: https://support.image-line.com/jshop/shop.php?offer=Default&promo=BACJBAB469I also suggest taking a look at Ableton Live, also a very capable audio software: http://ableton.comJust check the demo version and see how you like it.Both programs (as do the other ones you mentioned) work with EZ drummer, I use it myself on FL Studio and Ableton Live.Good luck!
Hi, Yes there are multiple saving options in the export dialogue and Mp3 is one of them.hope this helps, Mark
My Lexicon Alpha had interference problems with a laptop too. The only thing that solved it was to run the laptop off the battery. Moving the cables around may help too.Interference problems are common with USB and firewire interfaces. Computers, USB lines, Firewire lines all generate noise. That same noise gets into the audio wires, mic wires etc. It is kind of a nasty catch 22. The digital recording equipment generates noise that gets back into the analog audio lines that you are inputting to the interface.There is no easy fix other than experimenting with different cables etc. Keep the computer far away from audio wires that input to the interface.
If you could get documentation on the container file format that would be helpful but I’m assuming you haven’t been able to get that.If I were creating such a file format I’d probably just encode the length of the file in there somewhere (probably as a 32 bit integer) or it might be that there’s a table of contents with file offsets (probably from the start of the file) and length of each file (if all the .bmp and .png entries are near each other then you’re dealing with a TOC of some sort).It might also be possible to be able to tell by looking at the data where it starts and ends, reading the documentation of whichever file type you’re trying to extract from the container might be worth doing.Though I wouldn’t try copying and pasting into notepad given that most image files are binary, you’ll probably end up having to write your own software to do the job once you figure out what you need to get (or find some software to extract the images).
Cubase — well that depends on how far you want to do back — how about Cubase 3.0 AtariIt has been ported to just about every platform out there using cross platform compilers. I have even ported it using compiler 911 ( which does not care what you feed it). Pro tools uses a mixed language method consistant whith the portion of the program being dealt with.
All except Reason offer VST plug-in support.
I had a similar problem with Cubase 5, what i did was put the DVD in another computer with a DVD drive and transfered the contents over. If this is not possible for you i recommend you get in touch with Steinberg as they may have this problem often and have the software in a different format.Hope this helpedhttp://www.homestudiorecording.co.uk
I have explored a similar problem extensively and did not find a solution. Wish I had better news.

I’d go with the X4 955 or 965. The 1055t is slightly more than the Core i5 750 btw. Both are right around $200. Most modern day programs cannot utilize 6 cores yet. Unless you are using high end video editors or just benchmarking for fun. I have come across nothing that my Core i7 870 can’t handle easily yet
With all the equipment that you have and what you do not have you will either have to take a course in MIDI or hire someone to come in and help you set it up.
It runs excellantly.
The quality of a recording depends in part on the program, part on the system used to reproduce it but most of all on how it is recorded.If you’re recording your own stuff “live” particular attention needs to be paid to the recording technique.If the actual recording process is not up to scratch purchase of even the most expensive app will not help.There’s a very complicated audio engineers equation used in the trade:Rubbish in = rubbish out.I’ve not had the need to purchase apps such as Cubase or Pro Tools but I’ve done a few demo CDs for a band with very good results using Audacity and that’s a free app.If you’re importing mp3 or even wav files and it sounds terrible that would be more to do with what you’re listening to it with rather than the program. It also depends on what your expectations are.The best way to compare would be to download the trial version of FL Studio. Only you can be the judge of what sounds best to you.http://flstudio.image-line.com/
Pan them L and R and move onto mono tracks. You’re not really using “stereo” anyways since you’re using one mic per instrument and your mixer is going into your computer via its only 2 outputs (L&R). So in order to use its two output channels separately your only option is to pan them L and R.Hope this helps & good luck!
Although one might have more features than the other (i.e. FL Studio can do a lot more than Sequel 2) it’s more important that you get the software that works well for you. Ableton’s workflow is much different from Tracktion.You should really try the demo versions of these products to see what you like best. For me it’s FL Studio (producer edition, been using that for years as my main audio software) and Ableton Live.If you end up getting FL Studio you can get it with 10% discount with this promo link: https://support.image-line.com/jshop/shop.php?offer=Default&promo=BACJBAA468(this only works for orders of $90 or more and it’s only valid for new image-line customers so get all you want in one go)
Noise is the enemy of a quality recording, whether recording in the home or in the studio. Every aspect of recording needs to be addressed, from the quality of the mic to “room sound” (ie acoustic treatment) to shielded cables to quality of the recording equipment to eliminating external noise, to yes, even the power supply, both to the wall warts powering instruments and the mains supply for recording equipment and DAW, etc.AC units can supply noise, sure, but there are ways to engineer them to reduce hum, including building multiple 90 degree angle turns in the ducting itself, and even turning off the AC when recording.Low quality equipment can (well, does) cause noise. That’s probably one of the biggest reasons that expensive equipment is expensive – it takes a bit of work to design and build the more complex circuitry needed to keep that low noise floor, as well as more expensive components and parts.The technical term I’m using here is “noise floor”. This is the total sum of all noise present in your system, from microphone SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) to room noise to power supply hum/buzz to EMI interference to noise from effects units, etc etc. You want your noise floor to be as low as possible – the minimum that I’ve seen cited in professional references is at least -60 db… anything higher than that and the noise becomes audible. The best I’ve gotten is around -50 db, and that’s not half bad! However, after mixing a couple of different recorded tracks, the noise becomes more audible, and that pretty much sucks. Keep in mind that this was with a USB audio interface – using the computers “line in” jack, I could barely get -30 db, which is quite audible!I think that in terms of getting a good recording, 1/3rd is mic technique, 1/3rd is good mixing, and 1/3rd is maximizing your signal while minimizing noise.*after actually reading the details of your question*In your case, you’re already going straight into the computer, so that’s not a bad thing.. consider putting a large pop screen in front of your mic (google how to make one yourself), that should help cut some of that noise you describe. It is entirely possible that your mic is producing that noise as well, though, and there isn’t much you can do for that except try and fix it in the mix with careful mixing and noise reduction plugins. You can google for noise reduction plugins (ie “download free noise reduction VST plugins” for instance), and also try googling “how to reduce noise in your mix” or something of that nature to get more detailed information than my poor battered brain can muster at the moment.Anyways, studios have an incredibly low noise floor, often much better than what a home recording hobbyist can do, using power supply filtering, high-quality low-noise equipment, extensive room treatments, etc.Saul
