My first Mac, what sequencer to get?

You have a free sequencer that comes with your Mac, Garageband.

I love Logic Pro - great instruments and effects, immense routing capabilties. Lots to learn! You can get Cubase for Mac, or Ableton Live, Record... many options.

Logic hosts Audio units only, not VSTs. But you can get an FXpansion VST to AU wrapper if you need to host existing Mac VST plugins in Logic.

deej

 

There are several great sequencers out there. Logic have become better and better in the last years. Logic 9 is fantastic and I highly recommend it, ! I use Logic with Reason rewire sometimes. M-audio works with logic without any trouble.

If u liked Cubase, why don't get it again? But I'd check out Logic and Pro Tools too.

 

You are asking this on an Apple forum, so I'd expect you'll hear many people suggest Logic. You can get Logic Express for $199 and it may be enough for you, if not you can upgrade and I think recover the $199

 

If you primarily want to sequence, I'd go with Logic or Cubase, the latter being advantageous since you already know how to use it. Logic comes with a ridiculous sample library though...definitely worth considering.

If you primarily want to record and edit multitrack audio, I'd go with Pro Tools.
