This software is indeed amazing. The editing capabilities are standard and well implemented. REgion management is very advanced including a linked soundfile editor. The speed and efficieny of this software is second to NONE. Any movement, loading or change in the UI is instantaneous. No loading, no moving, no waiting. Metering is very well implemented, accurate, fast and no delay. The internal compressor offers itself as a good leveling device, maybe not so much as a envelope modifier. The eq sounds fantastic and is very easy to operate. The software's routing mimics that of an analog console with perhaps some more advancements only otherwis e possible in the digital realm.

Where sawstudio really shines is the sound quality. No matter what anyone says, this program really really sounds great. Even a single track comes to life. Large projects breath easily with little digital mud or loss of definition. I have not encountered anything that can compare.

There is also an add-on to allow extensive midi and VSTi functions which is of great interest to most KVR users. The price tag can be steep for a home user, but for professionals who could easily send that money off on a few cables, sawstudio is a steal and comparably a bargain to cheaper alternatives, considering the speed, power and overwhelmingly amazing sound quality.

The support team, the developer himself, is topnotch! Responses within hours or minutes. Very imformative and polite. (althought a bit condescending at times, which is indeed the best way to support. Answer the question assuming the user may not be aware of the full function of the software, thereby eliminating any assumptions or doubts in the answer).

I would not hesitate purchasing this over other softwares "offering" similiar features that dont have the response, quality and extremely humane interface. Sawstudio basic is now available at 300$, with upgrade to sawstudio lite for 600 through TSM. Such a price is easily in line with other companies offerings, but quickly surpassed by sawstudios afforementioned benefits.

Only downside I can find to sawstudio is the ease at which I can now engineer a session or create a song. No more time for gear lust and new toys! Too busy using what I have hehe.
