    So Bitwig is not a DAW but Cubase is? :wtf:And iZotope wins more individual category than U-he and yet it is not the favorite developer? The honor goes to u-he. :wtf:

    Not to nitpick but to nitpick and bitch about it because that is what the modafakar @The Pirate loves the most.
    For starters, the whole list of categories is fucked up. Take Favorite Sampled Virtual Instrument, and Favorite Virtual Instrument They have 2 different winners, and yet both are sample-based and virtual instruments. Go to Favorite World/Ethnic Virtual Instrument and you find World Suite by UVI which is not even an instrument but a library of instruments to be played on Falcon or UVI Player. Finally, take Favorite Guitar Virtual Instrument they have a purely bass based instrument, Modo Bass by IK as the winner. :wtf:? Where are the "guitars"? I dont want to hear no shit about the bass being a (bass) guitar. Give me some real fucking guitar VSTs. Each instrument deserved its own category.
    In sum, the selection is rigged, and I am requesting a recount.
