The uninstall button, you only jump cause you can. It's like having treats in the cupboard. :)
It is pretty easy to install anything nowadays :) The cupboard is always full! All cookies are stored in the cloud now! Unlimited amount of DAWkies!
A few minutes and your fresh dose of "green grass is greener on the other side" is ready!

Didn't hear anything about that. Is it the stuff that you can catch from DAW-sluts? Some kind of tReaper?

No, you're right but it seemed to have stopped working in one of the later releases. Because it's not something you tend to use too regularly, it slipped through in beta testing.
I just opened Orion again after many years. Man what a quick and easy workflow. A joy.
Yep, so disappointing that Rich gave up on it but I completely understand why he did. Man's gotta earn a living.

I see. So my memory was right. That's unfortunate, but oh well.
I keep having to remind myself "If only... no, that will not be fixed/added" :(
Understandable for sure.

A Mac you just turn on, power is always there and you're getting hours of battery. I don't notice any noise, any loss in performance between portable and plugged in either.

On top of that MacOS audio drivers are multi-client off the bat, so if you're running from the built-in headphone jack you haven't got to piss about with releasing the driver from DAW to other applications if you need to.
for me its quite the opposite. thinking of switching to windows laptop from M1 Max MacBook 4TB SSD 32GB ram.
Main Computer Specs: MacBook M1 Max, 32GB, 4TB, Cubase 13.

Live

I have been doing this for 25 years, started pro 24/Cubase- I have tried/used every DAW (still have Bitwig, Reason, Renoise and Studio One) but Live is the one I always seem to go back to- familiar, easy on the eye, uncluttered and most importantly fun.
X32 Desk, i9 PC, S88MK3, S1, BWS, Live + PUSH 3, Osmose, RedShift 6 Pro3, Tempera, Syntakt, Digitone II, OP1-F, OPXY, Eurorack, TD27 Drums, Guitars, Basses, Amps and of course lots of pedals!
