From what I can tell, reapers squad is WAY more responsive to user requests.

much as i love steinburg for cubase and whole vst platform they are always last to adapt and worst custy support

Think about it - Emagic/logic back in the day, steiny, native instruments, ableton. Who else? All german assholes

That is wat I call a lot of sour kraut.

Really doubt that. I think they came early, and they came hard
German software is unnecessarily complicated without a care in the world for user experience. Everything is compartmentalized and discrete. Nothing is dynamic and context sensitive.
I mean it took them to get to cubase 5 to offer a 1/10 of the functionality of fruity with that beat maker groove agent thing. ha ha ha. Welcome to the party fuckers, have a waffle.

fl studio is still a fucking joke when it comes to audio if we want to be serious
welcome to why i went ot cubase
even fl9 sucks for ausio editing or recording
production beats and shit: fl
serious ausio: cubase, pro tools or go to mac and logic or hell sonar
fl is a joke when you go beyond making beats for ease

They made it worse for audio in 9. I used to run my 8 projects at 900 something ppq, which let me zoom in pretty good to make audio edits in the playlist. But the cpu overhead to do that in 9 is through the roof. 1/2 the reason I've entered the cube.
I mean, grabing moving, zoom audio in fl's playlist is superior, imo of course, to cubases. But cubase's sample accurate zooming in playlist... fucking hell, I am TIGHTENING MY SHIT UP.
But I find it funny that after all this time they come out with the beat designer. Its a fischer price toy compared to fl's step sequencer, which allow 64 beats, so a nice 4 bar drum loop, per beat per voice velocity, pan, pitch, release, note shift (if y'all don't know what that is, check it). Cubase's allows 16 steps and velocity. Anyone have a screen shot of fruity from 99 handy? ha.

Ableton innit, just cos the plugz are more fun than Cubase which is what I normally use.
I think Logic is unnecessariily unintuitive and slow for audio so its a no no from me.

I don't complain, and i know many people who don't.. we are fine with out them

is Sonar going to be a forgotten DAW. I always hear complaints...and it seems like no one is using that shit.
And the last version I used of Logic was on PC. it was indeed unnecessarily unintiuitive...and the manual explained things in a very roundabout way, and still got me nowhere.
and the audio factory or sample factory was retarded

That was a train wreck. The design of the code was bad enough, but the actual implementation of the design on the pc was just straight swiss cheeze.

Nowaysj is right on the money.
I mean, Scratch Perry was recording on homemade gear in a dirt-floored former chicken shack;
Burial used one program - a sound editor, not a high-end tracking app - for his first record;
Hive made his first album entirely on an MPC without any Mac or PC whatsoever...
...the list goes on and on.
Sometimes in fact having technical limitations can be a blessing and make you better at the whole thing because it forces you to understand, overcome, and ultimately make lemons out of lemonade, so to speak.
