At the moment I'm using Reaper on my Mac to record. It's a great product, don't get me wrong, but the main thing I miss from my Windows XP/Cubase SX3 days is having in-line EQ on all channels. On Reaper, it's a clunky VST you have to add to each channel which is both resource-hungry and a bit awkward to use. I just find Reaper hard work to do simple things, such as fade-outs, etc.. It's not a bad product but lacks the intuitiveness/slickness of products I'm used to, such as Cubase SX3 which, to me, was a dream to use.
I'm not familiar with other modern products although Logic seems the obvious choice as a Mac user. I'm a former C-Lab Notator user in my Atari ST days, onto Cakewalk when I went to a 486 before heading into Cubase SX3. I'm not unfamiliar with DAWs but Reaper has been the hardest work of them all - just the niggles, such as the EQ, which makes it cumbersome to use. Does anyone have any recommendations for me to upgrade to? There's a fair few options out there these days and I'm not averse to paying for it! Although I think, for my purposes, ProTools would be a step too far!
