I just had a DAW thought.....
I was avoiding other DAWs I own mainly because they did not support/recognize the audio portion of my Tascam FW-1884. As a Control Surface they support it in Mackie Emulation mode.
Now that I have an RME Fireface UFX and use the FW-1884 as a control surface I should be able to run those other DAWs I own.
