I'd like as much advice and opinion on this--don't be afraid to be biased!  I
have been making MIDOI music (mostly new age variety, west coast flavor) for a
couple of years.  I've been using an Amiga which is an ok machine but I'm tire
of waiting for really good sequencing software.  I am considering getting
another platform. I am torn betqeen the Mac and an Atari ST. If $$ were no
object (unfortunately they are) I'd opt for the Mac.  But Atari has superb
software too. But is Atari}i on the decline? Should I bit the Mac bullet? I
want to use something like Notator or Cubase. What would YOU recommend with an
eye on the pocketbook and an eye to the future (I dont want to buy something
that's going to obsolete some years hence.
Many thanks,
Paul Thompson.
