Best Music Sequencer?

Hello.

I just wondered what in your opinion is the best music sequencer
software for music production currently available?

At the moment I have Cubasis VST 3.0. I've had it for a couple of
years and am looking to get something better.

My main problems with the version of Cubase I have is that it doesn't
process audio events in real time. For example if I have an audio
track imported into Cubase and I copy it so it is a few bars long, if
I then change the pitch of the composition, and I then try and copy
more of the bars afterwards it is all out of sync. If I try and
import more audio clips to a different channel, it is also out of sync
with the rest of the composition and I have big problems. It is
difficult to explain this but I think you may understand what I mean
if you have used this version of Cubase. If you don't I made a post a
while ago on this which Mark replied to, and he explained it better
than I can what the problem is. The reply is at the following

I am looking for something fairly easy to use, well designed, with
good compatibility, and is very solid and bug free. And as stated
above something that can process audio events in real time. I am
running Windows XP.

When I first started dabbling in music production it was one of the
really old Atari computers with the dongle thing and an ancient
version of Cubase. On one of the first PCs I had, I tried Cubase and
Cakewalk. They were really the only decent programs available at the
time.

Today, there seems to be a far greater variety of choice for music
production. E.G. Logic, Cubase, Cakewalk, Acid, Reason etc.

What would you recommend though as the best, and the bare minimum that
will do what I want without any issues?

Thanks for any advice.

John

I agree. I always go back to the mpc when it comes to sequencing.
