I see that (band?) name everywhere. I have no idea who they are are why so many people reference them like above in daw discussions, what they use, or like, or similar.Did you ever hear deadmau5 ...
It must be an EDM/Electro thing.

I guess that beauty is in the eye of the beholder with regards to both function and form....Gadget Fiend wrote:I don't know how many skins there are for Reaper. But every one I have ever seen (including the default theme) is hideous. That alone would rule out a tool that I intend to use every day.
Fair enough, but can you define what "hideous" means to you? And, more importantly, what sort of skins would not be hideous.Gadget Fiend wrote:I don't know how many skins there are for Reaper.

To me, "flexible" means that I can choose which of the available methods to use, not that I have to use all of them. That seems like a good thing to me. Once i have chosen then I can forget about the alternative methods.Gadget Fiend wrote:Of course, Studio One certainly won't win any design awards. But its minimalist aesthetic is at least in keeping with its streamlined workflow. It's like someone else said, Studio One has very definite ideas about how a DAW should operate for maximum efficiency. It's similar to Apple's approach: The company (Apple) doesn't offer 20 different ways to accomplish the same thing. The designers/developers actually have the strength of their convictions to say "This is how we think it should work." You can't say that about Reaper (which goes out of its way to not make any decisions about how users should interact with the program and instead provides users with a gazillion options in the name of "flexibility").
The ones for download are usually drafts - and to get fully functional you have to donate to get them in a personal mail.Gadget Fiend wrote:I don't know how many skins there are for Reaper.

I think it's cool that some DAW vendors are going "all in" with their touch support while others are mostly ignoring touch. That provides real differentiation in the market.Kalamata Kid wrote: One feature that is very important to me is Multi-touch support so both Sonar and FL Studio are real contenders. I will likely know the outcome by early 2015.
Windows 10 multi-touch support will be a welcome feature.
Konzentration is the theme I keep coming back to, so simple and functional. One of the reasons I haven't really got onboard with S1 is the GUI; too stark for me, don't know if it's high contrast or the lack anti-aliasing or something but I just find it tiring. Find myself looking at a screen of rectangles and having to stop and think what's the mixer, tracks, inspector etc., little demarcation.lfm wrote:I think Konzentration is really nice and well thought out in just about every aspect. Resizing mixer the right stuff go with it to make view more compact. And good clarity making it functional.

I think it's hard to beat Reapers track folders in mixer view which is rather alone doing expand/collapse there too and having an integrated bus.
StudioOne to start with need to use tall mixer view to even get any kind of overview. And how extra outs on VSTi's are only visible in mixer makes clear spaghetti routing in StudioOne if you want a bus for all outs. To talk about workflow in S1 - I don't get it.
Have to agree with all these points. The thought of editing samples, automation curves etc with my less than precise fingers horrifies me.Gadget Fiend wrote:A laptop screen, or worse, an upright/non-slanted monitor simply doesn't lend itself to a touch interface.

You could use a pen for that. Better than a mouse, probably.GaryG wrote:Have to agree with all these points.
