how do spark and sound studio compare to wavelab and other pc based apps?

i like spark but not as much as i like wavelab.

i've been thinking about just making the move to protools for live work too.

do it.  Protools is the shizzle...

I dont know how they compare, but Sound Studio is awesome. Real simple to use and very stable with OSX. I have Spark, but I dont really like it. Ive found it to crash a lot and too damn complicated. Also, I only do 16 bit, no 24 bit so YMMV.

Just make the switch and dont look back. Macs are awesome and keep getting cooler.

Agreed. Sound Studio is VERY easy to use. I got spark a while back but have yet to figure it out.

what version of spark?  there's probably an update that fixes your crash problem

I believe it's 2.8, Im at work now and away from my computer.
I have problems with saving files and closing files. The problems seemed to start right after I installed my VX pocket software.

"as per the imac vs power mac, you are right- the powermac is more upgradable- but realisitcally, how much are you going to upgrade?  you can do audio stuff through firewire and usb interfaces now, so you don't need an audio card.  the graphics cards in macs rule, and the networking stuff is integrated.  not too many other things to add.  i really like the new imacs in their design."

os 10.3.3 introduced a bug with saving files.  spark 2.8.2 fixed it
