However, it can't hurt to ask, which should be your next step. I was a Cubase user since the first Atari and Mac versions respectively. I tried recently with my even-more-ancient VST/24 4.0 diskettes, since the new Cubase 5 gets good feedback from Mac users, but they weren't interested in getting me back. (I believe there are emulators, but it's likely not worth the trouble, especially to run something like Cubase.)Ĭubase VST32 is so old that Steinberg might not offer you an upgrade path to the latest version which will run on your MacBook Pro. This is often referred to as the ' Classic Environment.' However, this only works if you are on a PowerPC Mac, since that is what OS 9 was created for. But you also need to have OS 9 installed if you want to run any software that old.
Mac OS X supports PowerPC through the current Leopard version. Since Power Mac became Mac Pro, and PowerBook became MacBook, they use Intel processors.
All of the G-series Macs used PowerPC processors, an evolved version of the old 68k Motorola CPU family from earlier days.
