Sn = # of S + 1

In "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", Robert Pirsig obsessed over defining the parameters of quality, so much so that he almost completely neglected his son who was with him. I won't give away the ending but defining quality is not the path to zen.

In my rigorous testing I found Reaper to sound 20-40% better than all the other DAWs, especially Nuendo.

You can, if you define your criteria. No one wants to define the criteria.

I believe ten quintillion is an appropriate number of synths.
