I like Samplitude and Vegas, just not their site.
Plus 1 on that. I bought Samplitude during the Gibson Crisis of 2017. It's quite powerful and I liked it a lot, but once Bandlab stepped in I decided to stay put.
Been using Vegas for 10 years or more. Video is hard. Any product that allows you to produce a professional-level product is going to be complicated.
Bottom line is the Germans (Magix) march to a different drum. I've never been fully in step with them, but I don't think it's anything they're doing to me on purpose.
PS: The new Bandlab forum is using the same discussion board software as Magix.
