Sequencing & LE7

[Stoneheavy]

hello all,
this is my first post...
i've had LE 7/digi 002 for a number of months - just getting to grips with it...
running on a fully megged-up G5 iMac/powercore firewire/external lacie drive etc etc...
this weekend was the first time i've had the time to get some stuff recorded properly.
great fun. however, i'm really struggling with the sequencing.
i find it very laborious and less than inspiring.
i'm not a big manual reader and i was brought up using cubase right from the word atari...
obviously that way of sequencing is best for me. most simple and most spontaneous.
i have the option of going down the road of logic - which i'm reluctant to as i believe its way different to cubase - and a whole steep leaning curve in itself. i'm loathe to go logic as learning pro tools is tough enough at the moment!
are there any midi sequencing programs i get my hands on which will fully intergrate with pro tools, sync up to the PT audio, easily set up and easy to use etc...
do i go for cubase - will this work - and if so which version - considering it will be purely used for sequencing...??
i suppose i'm just a bit lazy really, but time in my studio is limited and when i do get the chance i just wanna get recording/sequencing/performing may backlog of number one hits quickly!!

any help in this subject would be greatly received....
please email me at j.perry (at) mondiale.co.uk
thanks guys,

What's wrong with Pro Tools MIDI?

What's right with Cubase MIDI?

Doesn't one simply hit record, play the notes, quantise to taste?

I know it's not always as simple as that, just trying to work out what you're stumped on.

PS. Often it's quicker to read a manual then wait for someone to stumble across your query, nut it out, type out a detailed response, and post it...

The only advantage Cubase has that I see is that score editor... but I dont read music so what the hell. If you know Cubase then just move to Nuendo. Its Cubase on crack.


Or just stick with Pro-Tools. Sequencing is not hard. Like the pevious person said: "press record, and quantize to taste." If you're still stuck, just watch a pro do it. It will enlighten you.


Cheers.
