I logic's stuff that much better to justify the $$$ or do they just force you to buy their expensive VI's by not offering REWIRE!

What are the limitations of Reason?

Just left me wanting a quality sequencer that shared Propellorhead's philosophy.

That's why I'm still on my Ghandiesque musical sit-down strike in OS X. biggrin.gif laugh.gif

The only hopes out there on the "RSN" horizon for us adrift in this raft are MOTU's Digital Performer and the being-reincarnated Metro.

Although MOTU can be accused of being slow about it, their track record is that they they always came around to the "greater community" frame of mind sooner or later: they ultimately took the initiative to provide OMS emulation to end the stalemate between FreeMIDI and OMS. With wrappers (like VST Wrapper and Spark's FX Machine for MOTU), you could also use most VST effects and some VST Instruments in DP (although to MOTU's discredit, only third-party ware made it possible). Who knows what they are cooking up for their OS X recipe. We can only hope that they haven't succumbed to the marketing madness that appears to dominate the field right now.

Metro being back in the hands of its creator now is a very interesting development. The original company that created Metro and Deck, OSC, built that on the exact philosophy of providing powerful and accessible software, reasonably priced. I have my fingers crossed that they will have the good sense to reinstate and continue that tradition now that Metro has audio capabilities, and promised support for both VST 2.0 and Audio Units (at least as I follow this murcurial pool of sketchy info). Here's the latest url for promised features:

Light a candle and hope these two stay the course. If they are smart, and really make their product as flexible and user-friendly and non=proprietary as possible, including as much inter-app connectivity as possible, I believe either of them could quickly rise to the top of the heap. It will be a very interesting horse-race to watch--one where everybody could come out winners.
