Mac users, what sequencer do you use

Hi,

I was wondering what sequencers Mac users use.
What is working for you, what is in your opinion the sequencers for OS 9?

I use Digital Performer. Madonna. U2 and Destiny's Child all use Digital Performer. It's actually in English and not designed wierd like Logic Audio is--with its own naming conventions of everything--so that every one else in the real audio production world can't understand them....

funny enough, I have the same problem with DP, that you have with Logic (which is available in English, French, German and Japanese).
Oh .. and btw, U2 (at least their engineer) uses Logic and afaik ditched his ProTools rig a year ago.
In the end it is the result that counts, not the tools, isn't it ?

Back to topic, I'd check out the different options to get a feeling, which app might support your working style the best. Perhaps you also can get a OS9 copy of ableton live.

I use Cubase, but once OSX is supported, Live will also come in picture

Steinberg Cubase VST Score 5.1 on Mac OS 9.2.2. Apple Logic Pro 7, Apple SoundTrack Pro on Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.2.

As a mac user you are not allwed to use anything else but logic.

Only Pros are allowed to use protools, but you have to proof your pro status.

I'm hammered........

Caused by the above I'm ashamed to say I use Logic Pro 6.4 (OS9)at home (I used to use Cubase 4 and 5 but automation is terrible implemented in them). ULLI at the lowest setting @ 44.1 kHz and it works great

At my work I use ProTools (OS9 and OSX)which is for me the best audio editing solution. The ProTools MIDI implementation is not enough PRO for me and that's why I wouldn't use it at home even if it was ASIO compatible. Only people who didn't work with ProTools at all can say such unpleasant words like above. ProTools is very simple, incredibly fast and intuitive to use. If somebody starts his audio DAW journey I bet he would learn PT faster than other software. I use PT free as just the audio editor at home because of the simplicity of use. But if you demand sophisticated FX editing, audio/video solution you can achieve them with PT, too.

I use DP 2.72 in OS 9.2.2

great! solid - no problems once you know what order to do things in, i.e. do not change SCOPE configuration with an active DP project open.

Close DP project - change SCOPe - reopen DP - all is well.
