Recording different takes

Yes, if all possible options were available, then the end user would have a choice over what was best for them. But for £35 there can be no question about Cubasis not offering the same abilities as a £500+ DAW.

If someone’s abilities are not up to scratch, or they have no concerns about real performance. Then fair enough, but the expensive DAWs would be a better solution for those with less performance and production skills. If someone is using good performances and has got good production skill. Then they are likely to get good results from anything, in which case Cubasis is a brilliant DAW for creating great masters.

My personal opinion is that far too many people rely on the over easy functionality and automation of certain DAWs. Indeed, certain DAW functions do not even require the operator to have even a base level of production awareness or musicianship, with the likes of drum loops, auto riffs, MIDI riffs etc. And this, can and does, lead to very stagnant music/productions.

Cheers,
Dave.
