I use Cubase 5 in XP 32 Bootcamp on a MacPro. It works great. Ive finished tons of projects using the system setup above.
However, my situation to get a Mac Pro came because I used to have a Mac for video/design work and a separate PC for music work. (When I say work, I make 100% of my income with music and design.) So to cut costs in my studio I just bought a Mac Pro to do the bootcamp thing about 1.5 years ago. It works great but its not perfect...
I had no idea that there was a 2 gig Limit untill i read it in cubase.net recently. It has not bother me though or affected my workflow at all. I have huge cubase projects, so many tracks plugins etc, works great. If it ever got slow I bounced it down?
I think after knowing that there was a limit my mind became more curious to know if i could get more "speed"... but this thought always makes me believe that its not really about the speed, its about being creative and just jamming out ideas on whatever machine/tool you are working with.
To add to this thread though the next computer I get for music would be a separate PC. Main points:
* its an obvious upgrade path. I can get past the 2 gig limit. I can install windows 7 and just have a clean start.
* I also am fond of having 2 computers. Rebooting is kind of a pain in the ass especially if you need grab files in another OS to change or whatever. Having 2 different sets of jobs open is a time saver too when inspiration strikes.
That being said, I never ran Cubase 5 on OS X since I have so many plugins that are PC only and I figured "How will i open all my old projects"? (BUT I NEVER DO ANYWAY!) Maybe I should install it on OS X and test the speed and stuff, but what is the point if i got my work flow settled down right?
I will be honest though, ive been working in a mac enviroment since os 9, and I love working with files in OS X. Spotlight, Quicklook, Font Smoothing, changing icons quickly, labeling, etc are SO GREAT. Do not take it for granted. Sound petty but they really add up because you are staring at the screen the whole day or even all night. You do it because its your art/practice and you should be comfortable in every way possible.
I'd go for the mac. Get cubase on it. Get on making music or whatever you want to do with it.
