Even Noah only had to deal with 40 days and 40 nights of rain. Here we've been subjected to a 952-day and 952-night drought with NO, zip, none, nada, nary a single pro combined audio/MIDI program in sight.

Don't point to Reason 2.0: it's a wonderful program, but they admit that they don't even use *actual* MIDI, and I'd rather juggle kittens than use Reason's editors for writing and/or tweaking a part. And of course it doesn't do audio editing at all.

Don't point to Deck 3.5: no MIDI sequencing and editing.

No, it's a plague and a curse on Mac musicians, a starvation diet, over two years in solitary confinement. But there are promises...

Promises, promises...

DAY 952 and counting...

Hey, no dissing Live, it´s a wonderful program.

I wasn't dissing the program. I just think the interface looks like a Saturday morning cartoon show, that's all.

But my point was that it is not a hybrid DAW/MIDI program, and we Mac-ers are still standing out in the desert now, and it's up to /cue DOOM music/ ~~DAY 968~~ /cue DOOM music/ without one. The peecee-ers merrily make music while those of us invested in the "killer" A/V machine (just ask Apple's hype pages how great the Mac is for multimedia) sit and twiddle our thumb-pianos.

I don't know of any precedent. And *nobody* is going to convince me that it is *solely* because of the sloth of the software developers. If there hasn't been some significant OS log-jam up till now that has been blocking complete development and distribution (which of course *nobody* involved is going to admit to), I'll eat my hat.

And my personal opinion is that if any one of them involved had the integrity of a barn rat, they would issue an informative statement of facts to fill in the vast vacuum sitting there where info, not hype, ought to be.

YMMV.
