EVERYthing what I have to say...STOP. (...or not...´cause it´s funny...;)
But beside that. Nobody knows where the discussion really started...I´m sick of it...how old are we ???
I´m 42 and far far away to point my decision to spend up to 800€ for "my" new DAW called XXX on a magazine review, ´cause it´s the new "hell of a machine" in magazine XXX...(not X-rated to be part of this thread...;)
My first so called DAW was runing on my C64 and it was Steinbergs first product...
Later I was traveling from Logic (Emagics stuff) to Cubase over trying Samplitude for a while...´til I found for myself Sonar 8, which fitted all what I want in a good package for working at home on my MUSIC...
In our studio I´m working on Cubase and also ProTools...at home on Sonar X2...
...and it´s running like a charm, no crackles, not a single point of "ommph!!!" during it´s release...a few bugs...yes but nothing very special.
AND I DON´T GIVE A **** ON MAGAZINE REVIEWS, FORUMS AND WEBSITES !!! (these are just Picturebooks with a few usable Tipps inside, more entertainment than "you have to...") ...if someone´s really believing in REAL and GOOD journalism in our time...
...sleep further and further...
