Considering moving to Cakewalk

[christian_colby]

Hi,

I am currently a Cubase user and am having constant problems what with one thing and another. I have downloaded the demo version of Cakewalk and quite like the feel of it if nothing else.

I am basically a MIDI user who gets a lot of use from soundfonts and sometimes use Audio (not for live recording but for using wav file samples).

I would be interested to know whether anyone can comment and give some advice as to whether I should go ahead and get Pro Audio 9!

Cheers

Christian

Well you ARE on the Cakewalk forum!! I have used Cakewalk for years. A brief contact with Cubase convinced me to return to Cakewalk. That is what works for me... for others???????

I'm the same - I've got both and actaully started on cubase - atari etc - but I now use cakewalk for it's audio and stability but if I was a midi person such as yourself I would suggest that cubase is better for midi than cakewalk but hell - that's subjective - get it a try

I suspect there will be a cakewalk 10 out there soon???

I don't use Cakewalk. But from my odd try at it, it seems more midi oriented than Cubase. As far as stability goes, both have their problems.

I have an extra unopened Pro Audio 9 for sale. $150.
