I'll give it a chance, but I'm always looking for something different. Even if the worst assumptions being made here are true, it still seems unique. And I doubt that all of the negative assumptions are true. It obviously lacks in the MIDI/send/bus department compared to other DAW's. I don't see it as really competing with any other DAW, though. I actually think for some of the oddball stuff I do, it could be pretty cool. Maybe if enough people buy-in, they'll add to the feature set. Let's face it, a lot of really good records were made with fewer features than these. It seems as though many modern production techniques are trying to fill the "lack of good sound" void, that wouldn't be there in the first place if things sounded great from square one. I'm babbling now, but I hope you catch my drift. After a fair amount of consideration, I think I "get it." I've been intrigued by Ardour since I first heard about it several years ago. I tried it, and ran back to Pro Tools. It seems to have improved considerably. Otherwise, how could Harrison get away with using it for their Xdubber? I think SAE, SSL, Harrison and users have put some considerable money into supporting and continuing its development. Plus, I've always wanted a WYSIWYG digital mixer. Okay, that's it... for now.
