For me it is EnergyXT 1.4. I still use it, especially the VST plugin for easy routing and chaining, but it still feels unfinished. Newer EnergyXT just doesn't have the same appeal for me.

I loved emagic Logic. The style in version 4 and 5 is still the best in colours and graphic design IMO. I missed it for a long time in the past, but not now.
I think Apple did well with Logic, but it could be better of course. If emagic continued and had Logic in both platforms, then I imagine Logic would be priced like Cubase with two or three versions (like before, Gold and Platinum) and mostly would use hardware dongle (iLok probably).
I would still prefer Ableton Live or Bitwig studio + Reaper as a second/alternative host however!
Orion also was sad to discontinue. I liked the workflow more than in FL Studio, and it was easier to understand. However, I'm glad that Richard made a hit with Dune (especially Dune 2). I believe it was a wise decision to concentrate on Dune rather than Orion which needs much more time to develop and support without that return I guess. Can't wait what are the plans for Dune 3 as Dune 2 is becoming my favourite synth very fast (I like it even more than Blofeld
)

This is amazing as it is but could have been huge, was the Bitwig of its day:(
I was more sad about losing this than losing Muzys, another great DAW, wonder what happened to the Dev

If there was anything close to a correct answer in this thread, this is it.atukao wrote:Opcode Studio Vision was a disastrous loss.
SVP was so far ahead of its time. Most of the projects listed here so far just showed potential... SVP was already there.
