So this iMac looks and feels exactly like my old machine, except it’s faster, has more RAM, and since it has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor under the hood, it can now run OS X 10.7 Lion.

all is not quite what it seems.Ī big ‘thanks dude’ is due to Carl Folker at MacLogics in Peterborough, who after discovering that my old friend was ultimately beyond repair, substituted a newer Intel machine in place of my original G5 unit, cloned my 200GB’s of data off my hard drive, reformatted it so it would work properly in the new machine, then cloned it all back. After four weeks at the menders, it’s great to have it back, but…. It succumbed to the notorious Swollen Capacitor Syndrome last September, a costly repair that I had to put off due to lack of funds until last month. If you are a Cubase user and have a reasonably small collection of virtual instruments, this is going to really help to beef your sound up.It's big, it's bright, it's at the right height! The Beast is Back! After a six month sabbatical, my white iMac is finally back where it belongs, front and centre on my desk. The 'Pad Shop' and 'Retrologue' are very different animals and compliment each other perfectly.


Sometimes when major manufacturers update their flagship DAWs, we are lucky enough to get a new effects unit or two, maybe even one new instrument, but Steinberg have gone all out here and provided us with two full-fledged new synths. We'll be focusing on these new arrivals here and taking a look at what they're made of. Not only does the update bring a whole host of bug fixes and new features, it also introduces two fresh instruments into its sonic arsenal. Rest assured all articles normally cover the latest versions of all software :)Ĭubase 6.5 is here, and for a lot of hardcore users this is truly great news as it packs a pretty serious punch. Regardless of whether you have Cubase 7 or 6.5, it's still a very informative read. As a result we decided to publish it without amending or covering over that fact. Editor's Note: This article was written before the release of Cubase 7.
