Hi All,
I've been a bit of a lurker recently, as I made the transition to Mac and
Cubase about three years ago, but I held onto some of my Notator gear
including an St and a Mega, Export, Unitor & Notator. (I sold some spare
bits to Hallvard & Jammin I think!)
I have recently setup them again just as a reminder of how things used to
be. 
I have a Quicksilver Mac which was top whack 3 years ago. Today it is
struggling to run the latest versions of Cubase & Logic under the new OS X
operating system. I now find myself thinking do I upgrade the computer, or
go back to the previous version of Cubase, and run it under the previous OS
which was smooth, fast, and most of all familiar.

It is very easy to assume you need the extra bells and whistles of the
latest software, when actually 99% of the time I'm using 20% of the
functions in Cubase, and being baffled by the rest.

I went back to Notator and found it friendly, familiar and understandable,
even after a three year separation. The MIDI editing in Cubase SX is not
IMHO significantly "better" or more reliable than in Notator, and the rock
solid timing of Notator is only now being equalled.

If I didn't need the audio recording I would be setting up the Mega once
again and revelling the familiarity of that little B&W screen again!

Just a little maudlin ramble after a few beers, but if Notator is doing what
you need it to do, be thankful you're not caught in the upgrade rush.

Best Wishes
