I agree, audio seems a bit of a second-class citizen in MuLab. I don't use many samples or loops, so the groove stuff isn't too much of an issue for me. Lack of auto crossfade, punch-in/out recording modes and more intuitive control over monitoring / record states are the features I miss.braj wrote:I dunno, I need to grab and apply grooves, and cross-fade clips easily. I know I know Studio One much better, but I don't think it is because of that that I find it more immediate and intuitive. I think if I were making mostly electronic music, dance music, then Mulab would be fine, but it seems primitive in many ways, not just simple.
There's enough great stuff in other aspects of the program that I still use it as my main host though.
Re. the non-UL version changes, I think replacing the VST-database limits with session limits was a wise move. Having the limit in the database forces users into an annoying, repetitive and non-musical housekeeping activity (adding and removing plugins from the database). Having the limit per session causes them no extra hassle other than having to think about what plugins are most important.
But still curious for your opinions.
In the past the "Free" version with THIS functionality was a unique feature of MuLab, I think. With the new limits I guess MuLab will keep this standing.
