I have to tell you folks I'm very impressed. I have them all, Live, Sonar, Reaper and Tracktion among other midi specific environments Project 5, Reason and FL Studio. I did my first session in Music Studio and found the workflow and audio engine just great. I know others have said this but man if Samplitude Pro was priced in the range of Sonar Professional and Cubase it would eat substantial market share. Anyway I'm still on the border financially to making the commitment, I'm a sophisticated hobbiest but a hobbiest never the less and it is a substantial purchase.
Thanks everybody for commenting on this thread.
