![]() I recently switched from Cubase Pro to Reaper, after using Cubase for a decade.Ĭubase is pretty packed with features and contains quite a few things that Reaper lacks. Since my budget isn't an issue, what are the main advantages Cubase has over Reaper? Or its a marketing trick?īudget isn't an issue for me, either. ![]() We'd love to hear what you have produced with Reaper, but please post it in the weekly sticky.

Memes and similar content are also considered off-topic. If you don't hear differences then it doesn't really matter and it's all personal preference.Posts should be related to Reaper, the digital audio workstation and MIDI sequencer software created by Cockos. I personally prefer the sound of Samplitude, SX and Paris, but other people may prefer Sonar or Cool Edit and go with that. One program, then choose to mix or master in another (Samplitude comes to mind, or Paris) for that reason. Even PT and Logic sound different when using HD hardware with both programs. We use PTHD, Paris, SX2, Nuendo, Logic 7 and DP4 regularly and based on experience with these platforms I would say there are definite sonic differences (some more than others), especially when dealing with large mixes. Once it's recorded, it then comes down to the software and audio engine. Hardware, clock and convertors certainly play a huge role when recording to disk and monitoring, but that is only part of it. Different programs will vary in sound quality depending on how the audio engine handles the calculations, track summing, etc. DP is very clean and elegantly laid out it may not have a suite of synths and samplers but what it does have is a suite of high quality mastering plug-ins and those things are more important cause every user will definately need those to start and finish their music. That's what I like about DP is that it doesn't have all these Built in synths and samplers cause it leaves those things to the user, if you need them, get them yourself (you bring your own character to your sound, unlike Logic where they will provide you with it). Not to mention paying for things you don't need. Not everyone who buys Logic needs all of those programs so it is just cramping up the interface and making things a bit complicated. I might as well tell you why I prefer DP than Logic, for me Logic has become a monstrous program by that I mean that it is filled with synths, samplers and drum machines it has come to the point that it is REASON like. You won't believe its complexity and ease of use until you try it. I like Cubase a lot, it is easy to use and handles audio very well and most of all it rarely has any compatibility issues with my third party plug-ins.īut, I will have to use DP for my main sequencer it handles audio quite well like all sequencers and has a good suite of plugs-ins, but where DP really shines is in its MIDI capabilities, currently the best in the sequencer market IMHO. I use Digital Performer in my G4 for my main sequencer. I use Cubase on my PC for audio proccessing because of the vast amount of free VSTs available plus I still have my some old waves plug-ins installed there, the liscence which I sold a long time ago already. Any thoughts/tips/suggestions are welcome. Now that Cubase SX 3 and Digital Performer 4.5 have both been released, I am going to save up to upgrade to one of them. I don't use the midi features.I pretty much only record/mix vocals over a pre-mixed instrumental. My sound quality is also important though. My question is.why doesn't Cubase SE sound as good with the 828 as DP4 does? I hate how Dp4 is set up, and after watching the CD-ROM tutorial 3 or 4 times, I am still more comfortable with Cubase. I understand where he is coming from, and I must agree that I can notice a slight difference in sound quality. I got them as a package deal from a friend who upgraded to a digirack, and he told me that DP4 is the best software to use with the 828 because they are both Motu products, etc. I recently bought a Motu 828 for my home computer (eMac) and also Digital Performer 4. I love Cubase because it sounds good, and it very user friendly. At the school I go to, we use g4s and Cubase SX 2. I think I posted this in the wrong forum before.Īlright, I am pretty new to the Mac-recording scene.
