Most CPU efficient DAW with VST support and recording 2021-05-21T17:18:35+00:00 Which one would you recommend? And should I try Reaktor? Also, sorry for sounding like a troll in a couple other threads - I am a bit grumpy at times and I want to know if I'm spending my money on something that's CPU efficient, doesn't hurt my eyes, and has a lot of features that I want. - User-friendly midi controls and sequencer - Built-in instruments and effects that I will use, mostly ones that make great ambient sounds or some good vintage style sounds. Yes I know there's plenty of vintage sounds, but I love the spacy sci-fi feel of some of these instruments - like what I've heard in aehnatron (sp?) and other songs created in Buzz. I also dig instruments like the Alieno and HG Fortune's masterpieces, and anything that has some sort of warping automation. - Low latency. I have tried to record riffs live, but I've kinda gotten used to just entering the notes either by clicking or by typing them out on the keyboard because I just can't get the notes to play quickly enough. - Modular synths, so I can customize them and maybe make some cool arpeggio synths like the ones I've seen in a video about Reaktor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t56WNB2BDsE&ab_channel=BennJordan - User-friendly automation that I can control with benzier curves and LFOs, and won't hog resources - Low-latency voice recording. I'm not picky about colours or track icons, as long as the interface is fairly easy on the eyes. Also, I probably would buy Cubase if the service is good, and the prices are fair, once they get a better DRM feature. I'm not totally averse to it, but if I were to buy that program, I want to make sure I'm not spending a bunch of money on a brand name. I want to be able to navigate it well, and I've had some bad experiences with file navigation for samples before. I've also lost serial keys before, and that was rather frustrating. Also, oddly enough, I do like the interface of Buzz because it's modular and I love to build stuff. The instruments do sound great, but I'm still figuring out many of the built-in synths and effects. I do like how it also has some samplers and a sort of sample browser. Are there any commercial programs that have synths and an interface like Buzz, but better?

Haha, well I've been composing for years and just recently discovered Bitwig's global modulation system - basically they have a handful of tools (LFO, Envelope followers etc.) that are easily accessible and can modify any parameter on any plugin, and i found this kind of system makes me very creative with sound design.

A quick video to demonstrate:

Awesome! Linux Multimedia Studio has LFOs as well, and if it had a synth for snares, cymbals, and claps, and if it had the ability to voice record, it would definitely be a better contender for Fl Studio.
