Anyone using it regularly?
I messed with it before but plumped for Reaper as my 'only' Daw. Yeah, that resolution lasted...
Picked up the Artist version in yesterdays $5 sale just for something to play with and, heck, pulled me right in again. Seems to just 'work' in a way Reaper doesn't for me even after using nothing but Reaper for a year now. Stuff like dragging a slice of audio to the Impact drum sampler; just highlight and drag as opposed to setting up custom actions and slicing and dicing and... in Reaper. Y'know?
Obviously the Artist version has the limitation of no VST support but somebody on KvR pointed out that Reaktor and Guitar rig are recognised if you have them in the right folder (and you have the full versions naturally).
So, I'm considering going minimal for a while, just S1, Reaktor (minimal... ha!) and Guitar Rig. May miss my audio damage plugs and a couple of synths (Rhino...) but think Reaktor and GR should cover all the delays, reverbs etc. And the S1 effects are pretty decent anyway for all the bread and butter stuff.
