Why do people use multiple DAWs?

[WatchTheGuitar]

Calling them all VST (though the correct term is VSTi) usually does not bother me unless a Logic Pro youtuber uses it. That sounds disturbing and instantly makes me skip the video

VSTi is only the plugin instruments. VST is generally the term people use as a catch-all that covers both instruments and effects.

How would a Logic Pro Youtuber use VSTs or VSTis?

Thats his point.

Still not making it clear for me. Never mind, not a biggie.

Some essential alternative missing:
A separate DAW for editing MIDI-tracks, including creating notation.
The main DAW because of the great workflow, I'm used to.

And perhaps an other one: A separate DAW for ARA editing.

Err, that's Studio One 5

In this case Cubase Pro.
But unfortunately not the main DAW, because of not that great workflow. That is Live.

Instead of saying Audio Units, software instruments or plugins some say vsts and that bugs me

did dire straits not sing

"i want my vst"

no! they wanted mtv, and look what happened to that

[Mushy Mushy]

no! they wanted mtv, and look what happened to that

An empty V? So a or glass or vase then.

Well, I know what features aren't there in Bitwig that I had and used in Logic and vice versa,

I don't and it was the kind of information I was hoping to elicit from my response to your original comment.

I doubt I use 10% of the features of Cubase so I find it hard to fathom how anyone might think it has missing features

This is so flawed logiclly that I can't believe one would type it and decide to click "submit"

It would be if what you quoted had been my entire post but it wasn't, was it? It should have been obvious that what I was asking was to clarify what Passing Bye thought of as a "missing feature", on the assumption that it would be very different to what I think of as a "missing feature". e.g. To one person, not having a "Q" control on both the upper and lower mids in the channel EQ might constitute a missing feature, whereas to me the fact both have some kind of EQ ticks the box for "per channel EQ". To put it another way, to me the EQ is a feature of the DAW, the "Q" controls are a feature of the EQ and not relevant to the DAW discussion itself. One might be a "better feature" but not a "missing feature". Similarly, a piano roll is a DAW feature. Some are better than others but as long as there is a PR present, I can't see a lack of some tool or other within the PR as a "missing feature" in the DAW itself, unless maybe it is something that simply cannot be achieved via a workaround in one PR but can in another.

I understand your point, comping takes would probably be missing feature in your book, but not as much as "Select Equal Subpositions" in piano roll and all of those MIDI selecting options in general, I actually agree with you and that was intent of my writing, there's always going to be something missing, no DAW will be 1:1 in every little thing.

Old thread, but since Select Equal Subpositions was mentioned here as a missing feature — I ended up building it for Studio One. Three modes, works with humanized MIDI, supports Studio One 6/7 and Fender Studio Pro 8.

Quick demo:

Sharing in case anyone still needs this in the piano roll.

Interesting feature, not one I'd use very often, though. If you work with patterns, it would be of no use at all. Sorry, but I'm not going to pay $15 for it.

One DAW per wife is my rule.
Gotta keep it fresh with the ladies and da beats.
