This is a thread to end out 2021 and for you to sum up how you think DAW developers have performed and delivered on the products they have provided as well as any games they have tried to spin. Be that to try, and you have to part with your pounds, pennies, cents, dollars, euro's or whatever currency you use.

Have they pulled any rugs beneath your feet for you to lose out on anything...upgrades...timing of upgrades, special offers, pressure selling, change in policy and/or development from how they did things previously?

Have they excelled themselves in delivering more than you have expected or performed in the way that you are content in the direction they are heading ? Maybe you're happy with what you have and are happy to wait things out till 2022 or beyond.

And if you could ask one short thing to a DAW developer that you want them to do, what would it be ?

Well, since I was literally called out ;)

I'd say that's been the year of Reason Studios! They've introduced the widely hated Reason+, released v12 that still 6 months in doesn't work for many people and increased the price of perpetual license and upgrades by 25% and 60% respectively. I've no idea about Bingo rules, but that sounds like a Bingo!
