I\m confused. it seems juts like mtron le

Nothing. it can be awkward for some though. the stock plugs sucked. at least in previous versions
-
Cakewalk as is was never going to be appealing to mac users enough to offset expense of conversion
-
I never minded that CW wasn't cross-platform. In my experience, Mac users that truly find a program useful will just buy a cheap pc . Tons of FL user did this for years and some still do since mac version can be a little odd.

I used to work for a herman miller dealer and one of the things I noticed is that people will sit in an aeron chair, not realizing that a reputable dealer is going to adjust chair so that it conforms to your exact body. It still may not be your preference, but you will have a much more accurate sense of what you are making decision based on.

I will try again though because I appreciate the effort

I tried to like tracktion. I just don't lol

I have experimented with this for cross-platform/cross-daw collaboration with this and it is not bad: https://mixedinkey.com/satellite/

I will preface this by saying I never updated past v4 so I am far from an expert. With that said, the main appeal is the sound, which I am still not convinced is as magical as people make it out to be. It sounds good, but for me that comes down to a combination of the consistency of having same channel strip and saturation on every channel. I have templates in studio one and Cakewalk( since this is a cakewalk forum) that have simple console style channel strips on every channel and buss. Harrison even sells channel strip plug now. I have tried the bounce stems to mix in mixbus approach and the time never seemed worth it. If Mixbus did AAF import natively it would be an improvement, but as it stands, the process now involves having to delete silence on every track I import. I will occasionally mix a project I received as stems on Mixbus, but the colorization I get in Mixbus is just not worth the process to move from another DAW. Part if the results one gets when using Mixbus are a result of following a simplified workflow. This workflow can be achieved in any DAW after a one time template setup. My newest ST1 template is Amex 9099 on all channels and busses with a Softube Drawmer 1973 on my mixbus. I have Echo Boy on 2 effects sends ( one ping pong and one set to 1/8s). I have three verb sends( little plate, supermassive and stock). I also have a sort of sizzle buss with new fangled audio saturate and a high pass filter and boost( I use very little since Amek has saturation). No, it doesn't sound like Harrison , but the simplified workflow gives me something similar to what my main purpose if using Mixbus would be. I will concede that there are setups that would come closer to that sound( perhaps Harrison's strip and even that has an asterix), but my way too long point is I struggle to find scenarios that make DAW jumping a better use of time than creating your own simplified workflow where your work is already living. Here is an interesting take on Harrison's marketing:

Funny intro. We have all been there. Good share. Thanks -
Arturia Analog Lab V vs Syntronik Opinions
dubdisciple replied to dubdisciple's topic in Instruments & Effects
After having some real world time to incorporate everything into my workflow, I have no regrets on decision. I now have most of my templates setup with arturia synths and Kontakt. Pigments is my primary synth and Analog Lab 5 is my default when I don't know quite what I want from the beginning. I spend less time trying to decide which synths to use since there is generally a suitable placeholder that allows me to focus on creating. -
Same here. I have been thinking about it for awhile and knew my 29.99 would come

I bit. I don't need any more channel strips, but here I am.

they have a few retro arcades here

I was annoyed when Midway got bought by a slot machine maker and they abandoned pinball. My williams games still work, but they have weird lag

I remember when Propellerhead created the 303/808/909 emulation Rebirth, the reality of decent tr recreation became reality. It wasn't long after that I realized that 808 emulations were just not worth buying since the sounds have been duplicated to death and even improved by Roland and everyone else. I think a smarter strategy would be to give the 808 away the way Arturia gives away things like Juno Chorus for limited time. Just about anyone wanting an 808 doesn't really need a demo. I'm not trying to sound ungrateful. Just saying this is not really the enticement that it could be. I already know I am not buying an 808 so see no reason to go through install process

It looks like a dynamically user generated collection that might make a download all somewhat complicated
