That it has the simplicity of Studio one and Reaper. To have the piano roll of Fl Studio. It must have the GUI of Cubase and Audition. It must have the native plugins of Cubase, FL Studio, Pro Tools, and Ableton. To have the option to transform audio to midi, as Ableton does. The Pro Tools transporter. Well I don't remember anything else right now.

And last but not least...it should be free!

oh yes something else. That in the news when you open the Daw . You will see the new news of the sister site

Yours?

 

u know ur daws!!! i hardly know 1-2, but yea, reaper missing sounds

 

I have visions too:
Study computer science - Start a company - Hire specialists - Look for investors -
Try to undercut the competition or to steal their customers with more quality.

 

You know, I've been reading about Behringer's upcoming free DAW which they plan to have VSTi's based off their hardware synths. Anyway, I digress. My Utopia DAW:

Cubase is already nearly there with its plethora of features. What would be nice is if they had a programmable XY controller like Bitwig, a lighter UI like Reaper (which is easier on the CPU), a way to more efficiently route instruments and effects lie Bidule, the pitch shift module goes up to an octave and not stop at 7st like it now does, they had a sweep autofilter, Bitwig's module crash protection system, maybe even their own modular synth (although the free Cardinal rack is good as it is).

 

drum roll ....
Logic. Emagic .. Logic.
: )

 

Reaper. Honestly all i need is some tracks, the ability to load third party plugins, and basic routing and midi options, so i guess that's any DAW under the sun.

edit1: fuck, i erased a bit accidentally. But the point is still the same

edit2: But since this is hypothetical, i'd really like a daw that can change the color palette of third party plugins, i think it would look very cool.

I just want the sample accuracy as found in pro tools with the functinality and routing that Logic has... Make it called LogicOmega

 

logic's routing is much more straightforward... reaper has this windows 2000 vibe for me and I hate the routing....

 

The first discussion about the best DAW took place on 11/11/2011.
The last discussion about the best DAW took place on 11/11/2111.

After that, the basis of the discussion changed and people were talking about which is the best power provider:
Google - Amazon or Facebook, by the way, those were the 3 companies that remained after the big economic
crash in 2111. Steinberg went to Amazon, Ableton went to Google and the rest went to Facebook.

 

holy shit I didnt know we were that deep into this timeline!!!

 

All i need is to send stuff to buses, which in reaper you do by dragging the route button on the channel you want and dropping it on the channel you want to send to. Don't see how can you be more straightforward than that, maybe for more complex routing options? Idk.

Also, awww shit, here we go again.

 

Wishful thinking

 

Weaper, Wableton.

Wogic. edit: Witbig

 

Plo Tools.

 

I just want the fucking hot keys back from the first 20 years of Cakewalk. Why do they change that shit?? (Yeah, there's probably a way to customize them but why do I need to waste my time on that??)

 

Easy:

Reaper + Bitwig + Renoise

 

I like studio one. I wish it had noise removal as easy to use as Reaper though.

 

Maybe one day you'll find that Genie in a bottle than you can wish for that perfect DAW, oh and the best is you'll still have 2 wishes left after that.

 

I have a retro computer and Reaper lets me play. Thanks to file sharing I can have vsts. I am grateful and lucky.
