Before I started using Linux, I did some recording on a Macbook, with Cubase. I like the Cubase interface, in particular the parametric EQ, it just seems logical. However I always felt it left me just a little short on performance. Whether that was the software itself, the hardware I was running it on, or a combination, I'm not sure. What I do know is that when I upgraded OSX, it would not install, so to continue using that particular piece of software, I have to use the older version of OSX that I started with.

I was really happy with one of the last tracks I did with Cubase, but the mastering wasn't that flash so I have just had a go at remastering it with Jamin on Debian Linux. Below is the before and after versions. Both versions should be downloadable by right clicking the play button.
