Stability of Cubase 5 on both Mac, and PC platforms is very good. Why ? because of more technical details I'm not an expert on to answer, but more to do with the coding of Cubase 5 for both platforms/OS's.Īccording to Steinberg, the next Cubase 5 update version (5.5) will offer some under-the-hood improvements to Cubase 5, as far as performance, and latency are concerned, on both PC and Mac, plus various new features.

The cpu's are around 25 and the performance monitor on cubase is clipping all the time. So, if you intend to use memory demanding VST sample libraries, using 64-bit Cubase 5/PC has an advantage in terms of large memory (RAM) addressing capabilities.Īlso (ASIO) latency, and multiple core processor utilization/threading is more efficient on PC, compared to Mac. We all know Cubase's cpu management is not the best, but since I've switched to mac, specifically macbook pro 16 (I always worked on windows), the performance is absolutely crap. In addition to that, Cubase 5 is currently a 64-bit DAW on PC/Windows-64, but, it's still a 32-bit DAW for Mac OSX. You will also notice that there are much more Cubase 5 PC users, than Mac users. Cubase 5 does run a bit more snappy, and efficient on PC, compared to Mac, this has been discussed on this, and other forums.

Does cubase run better on a mac or a pc
