Of course. I see it now.
I have a bottle of beer. I'll copy it and send it to you so we both can drink to my new insight.

Ooooo,
The machine of a dream,
Such a fast machine.
With the sidechain a-pumpin',
And the sliders all gleam.

When I'm tweaking its knobs
All I hear is my gear,
With my hand on its send bus,
Mmm, it's like a disease, Gus.

I'm in love with my DAW,
Got a feel for my modulation wheel.
Get a grip on my piano roll bar,
Such a thrill when my Autotune squeal.

Told my baby I'd have to forget her,
Gotta buy me an arpeggiator.
I made tracks and I played to the end, now.
DAWs can talk back -- five point one-channel friends, now!

When I'm tweaking its knobs
All I hear is my gear,
When I'm freezin' to hard drive,
Don't burn no cycles on run of the mill synth jive.

I'm in love with my DAW (love with my DAW),
Got a feel for my modulation wheel.
I'm in love with my DAW (love with my DAW),
Need no glove for my audiolove.

...ironically even though Roger Taylor sings it that is one my least favorite Queen songs...as far as Queen goes it isn't quite qwerky enough for me

Reason

Pretty but impractical. When will they finally let it host cattle cars, coal cars, ore gondolas...?

(Of course I love Reason, and to run plug-ins I use my beloved Sonar X1 -- for which you can substitute several General Electric ES44C4s hauling a lovely collection of rolling stock.)

Nothing impractical about a train of great speed, except if you want to get to St. Paul de Vence...

Yuppers, I was being sarcastic, or something -- likening calls for Reason to host plug-ins to the idea of connecting freight cars to a high-speed passenger train. I think it would result in a mess. Sonar handles my plug-in needs very nicely. Two kinds of trains, and I wouldn't want to be without either.

For me, all Queen's songs, except this one, are like this car. Here, we call it a "carro de puta" (whore's car)

that's what they want you to think

I didn't say I didn't like the car I said I wish I knew what it was...like Manic Mechanic by ZZ-Top, there's no mistaking the sound of a mopar starter turning over an elephant motor so I know at least it's a cool car.
