I started using Cubase on a Mac. Never ran very well. So I switched to a PC DAW. Runs great now.

I used to be a Mac Zealot. No more. The new Mavericks OS stinks. Bad.

That is your opinion and you’re entitled to it but imo this thread was about differences in daw performances on mac, and not mac-win bashfest / how windows daws compare to ones on mac…

The point is that Cubase runs better on a well spec’d PC than a Mac. Always has. I’m not engaging in a “mac-win bashfest”; just sharing my experience having run both platforms and finding Cubase running on a Win7 platform to be superior.

Even though this is a Steinberg Cubase forum, I don’t care if folks want to drag Logic (or Mac, or Logic on a Mac) into the discussion. But don’t accuse me of starting a “bashfest” when the thread itself is bound to elicit strong “opinion” that may run counter to your own.

I repeat, Mavericks OS stinks real bad. That comes from someone that has run Macs since 1985. YMMV

Some people prefer sympathy over solutions!
