If you had to stick to one DAW, which one would it be?

[yessongs]

well cubase looked interesting to me but because of that whole i lock thingy I never looked that way ever again and I wont ever consider something that uses an ilock. Never have and never will. I am pretty clear on that issue so if ever a company wants to do business with me they need to not use a dongle because its the kiss of death for them when they do so.

cubase doesnt use ilok.

That's as maybe, if they did, he wouldn't use it, and that's final.

lol..

I assume he meant a dongle since indeed they don't use ilok but e-licenser, which the next version of Cubase won't have.

i assume he's using a blanket term for dongle?
but haven't they dropped that now?

tbh, im ok with dongle/ilok
what really irks me is people calling a host, a daw.
the daw implies the whole, not just the software, not much of a workstation if it's just the 1s and 0s.

ive said my piece, not looking to argue, just stating my on topic point.

i will not be goaded in to off topic nonsense about potato products.

Or chips? Mmmm salt and vinegar with ketchup....
