I know exactly what you mean Jamie! Been there myself, although now I compose stuff that I like and suits my still, I seem to be getting more interest. I put it down to authenticity, basically the work I am creating for me has more passion than some…
I agree with all that everyone has said. You will find that some have an almost fanatical view about which DAW is best, but to me, the best DAW is the one that enables you to get your work done. If you like Garageband and you can work with it, Logic…

About Me:
As a multi-instrumental musician, composer and highly qualified Audio Engineer living in Manchester, I have been involved with audio, music and technology for the last 18 years. In particular I have a very strong background in Sound design and composition. I am currently involved on the fantastic Positive Soundscape Project at the University of Salford.
I specialize in Sound Design and Media composition for Film, Computer Games and Television. In addition to this, I founded and run my own audio production company Syncrosound. Syncrosound specialises in sound design and media content provision.
On another note, I have just finished the audio post production on the film Shiver, by director Jonathan Stewart and it was a great project to work on. Watch this space for more info soon!
Neil, moving from Sonar to Logic required a whole platform adjustment. Wow, that's a major endeavor.
One reason in switching to Cubase was the cross-platform project support for PC and Mac. One of the studios that I've worked with is all Logic 8-based and I must say, it is an fantastic DAW. If I was on the MAC platform, I'm pretty sure that I would be making the 'Logicle' choice. You're right, Cubase probably will not be that much of a challenge, as the overall workflow is not that radically different.
Neil, thanks so much for the comments. I've just changed DAW from Sonar to Cubase, so it might be some time before I post some new music. I hope to have some new music by early 2009.
Hi, Neil. Thanks for the invite. Hopefully you read my page and still want to be my friend even though I'm not a composer. I have written lyrics with my hubby (Chris, the guy who started this forum) if that counts for anything.
