I haven't touched Ableton in a minute or 2...years sooo donno how the landscape has changed.

I've seen a lot of iZotope hate (but b/c of their new $ sub. model) but damn I loved the Neutron & Ozone combo. (I'm a scrub/rook mind ya...) I love the "AI-support" to get my mix/master headed in the appropriate direction and then tweaking.

Curious what, if any, AI-assisted M1 competitors exist.

Mostly interested in M1 native because fear of the ridiculous read/write - at least LR pre M1 support ducked up one's SSD...

Would also love to get some resynthesis synths, partial sum additive synths, granulator & just any bomb obscure/experimental-ish plugin recs.

Also always wanted East/West Quantum Leap for the "e x o t i c sound" but have yet to find my Moby Cock.

RN the plan is to look into: Arturia Pigments/Synclavier V, Metasynth, Alchemy, NI Razor, Iris 2, u-He Zebra/Repro, KV311 AudioSynth Master, MSound Factory, AD Quanta

Love Dune, Spire, Diva, Avenger (I think these fall into one of above categories). FX Wise, donno if any really fall into obscure/experimental, but Decimort 2 & XLN Retro Colour)

Dankeschoen my lads & lasses!
