Logic, when Alchemy showed up in a free update.

ReaSynth and ReaSamplomatic might disagree with the "no instruments" part.

But yeah, Reaper's great.

On a perhaps related note, some mystery DAW is showing per FX chain and per FX oversampling in some recent development builds. That's pretty f**king cool too!

Nice one, looking forward to it.

Which one is it? I suggested something like that to Bitwig, but I don't think it's them.

It's not Bitwig. The DAW that'll implement it has publicly accessible pre-release logs, but they ask not to link to it and discuss it only on their pre-release forum (also accessible for registered forum users).

Also, consider the "On a perhaps related note"

When I first saw per clip effects in Samplitude.

Another time was when Project 5 version 2 came out with the Groove Matrix.

Kind regards,

Maybe if that was in 1894 but it's hardly been anything much for the last 60 years. We were doing that sort of thing in high school, with somebody's father's cassette recorder.

It's interesting the things people have listed here because they are all things that are so far beyond my expectations (or needs) that I would never even think to look for those kinds of features. I know my bandmate used retrospective recording once but I cannot imagine when I'd ever need it and the audio to MIDI and back again stuff I could never imagine a use for, either. It's just not the way I work.

What made my jaw drop was finding Orion, way back in 2000 or so. It offered me the ability to work exactly as I would in a studio with my hardware, only inside a computer with software instruments that could do almost anything I could imagine. It was really the first time that the possibility of being able to work ITB seemed within reach.

Holy sh*t! I never knew you could do this...
I have learned so many great things in S1 in the past week.. Too Many things so I'll just say that there are more than enough 'jaw dropping' features in S1 to enumerate here. The chord track, Macros, ARA support ( that's stable). It's sleek and streamlined. I love it.

Time-stretching audio whilst keeping its pitch.
Being able to use an audio editor to correct bum notes in an audio recording.

When Variaudio got introduced in Cubase.

That's been a lifesaver tbh

Coming from Pro Tools the fact that you don't have to stop to arm tracks in Ableton was a big surprise.

Not obscure or new, but it totally changed how i write music and how much music i'm able to finish, and i don't even make loop-based/electronic stuff (more on the metal side of things). But being able to have a non-linear sketchpad to work on when you maybe only have a couple riffs to start with was a revelation.

Slicing and the Warp Modes in Live's Simpler was another one. Figuring out i could mangle guitar riffs in a granular way...wow.

On the negative side of things...Live's CPU use and latency/recording paradigm.

This! I have used live since 1.5 and when I first saw it and started playing it was a game changer. I still don't get people who use live and record to arrange or even worse just use the arranger to line up samples!

When clip envelopes were introduced I made whole tunes using just some loops and recording absynth's output and changing the pitch and other parameters with envelopes. Amazing stuff.

One thing I forgot in my post. I don't use it much but I was amazed to discover you can open Ableton and FL Studio projects in the latest version of Bitwig. That's pretty cool. Be nice to be able to do that in S1 for me. I have quite a few tunes I made in both those apps over the years.

Single DAW feature that made your jaw drop?
