It refuses description, allowing only the vague approach of adjectives: dark, light, raw, angelic. Who or what is making these noises? Where are they coming from and what do they point to? What kind of entity can leave such a troubling sonic remnant?

Years ago I would have said that Camel Audio would have fit this bill the best out of the majority of known devs. However, after now witnessing the beginnings of Tracktion, EnergyXt, Podium, Reaper, Studio One and Bitwig I can't see why anyone would bother. More importantly it would take vst devs away from the stuff that I think they would rather do.
But with all that said I think that if MP (Melda Productions) or Sonic Charge or FabFilter or Sugarbytes did a DAW I would be more than a little curious.
With Sonic Charge I would think it would be compact, powerful and cpu efficient with enough added extras over the years to keep me interested.
With FabFilter its almost guaranteed the interface will be wonderful to work with and will be easy enough to find your way around after a few videos from Dan. In addition if they were generous enough it could start off with a seriously nice suite of effects.
And SugarBytes would probably make the DAW that would be the coolest to work with. It may never get an upgrade but they would support enough to squash bugs.
But out of the bunch it would surprise me the least to see MP do a DAW. For one, I don't think it would take MP a long time to do it. Second, it would be a great vehicle to sell or bundle the MP plugin lineup. Third, even though it might have a visually disappointing gui it would probably be stable as all get out and have extended functionality across many features.
And since none of that is likely to happen let me state that I think my perfect storm of a DAW would be a collaboration between FabFilter and SensoMusic. A FF front end on Usine and a stolen(copied) pianoroll from FLS. I could build inside what I needed and connect things the way I want to. Done. I'd keep Reaper as my stay resident glorified tape recorder DAW and the rest would get deleted.

I repeat Korg, something like Gadget for iPad, just innovative and new thinking... Not biting any existing one - that's what inspires me...

Microsoft, a real one. [cue the obligatory funny images of Songsmith] 
No, not that, a real pro audio workstation, where the engine is built at the kernel level in the OS. I think if someone at MS decided to enter that market in a serious way it might turn out to be something really special. They certainly do have the coding talent and the resources.
I'd say the same for a pro video NLE, if they were inclined to compete in that market. They seem to have no real interest in either thing, at the professional level anyway.

They had one, it didnt sell, so they quit making it.

I know. As i wrote, i don't have much need for another DAW anyway. Just saying that, if Synapse did another DAW, they'd be very qualified to do so, as they already did one, and know how to code synths too, so the base content would already be pretty good.AnX wrote:chk071 wrote:Synapse Audio.

My candidates for a new better DAW are the obvious contenders.
Native Instruments and Spectrasonics, the later being the more likely to do so.
Someone earlier mentioned Waves. They have the expertise.

I think expertise is maybe not as big a factor as money and resources and will. Any company so inclined can hire the expertise if they don't already have it. Coding daws is not some high mystical art and any company so inclined can spend 3-4 years building a good one if they really wanted to, or hire good C++ audio developers from any one of multiple different companies if they needed to, if they have the money to support such an endeavor.
You only need enough money or resources to support it for some years while you build it out before you start to sell it and make money because developers don't really work for free unless they have a direct financial stake in the end result.
All it takes is time, talent and will. See Reaper. The guy had no real expertise making a pro daw and the mp3 player he made before that was certainly not that. What he had was the skill and the time and the will, and enough money to live on while he did it... and 10 years later there's Reaper 5.
I think a company like MS could probably dedicate a team of maybe 20 select talented people and knock out a really great 1.0 pro daw in maybe under two years... and they easily have enough money to support that effort while it's not being profitable.
