I suspect if one DAW company does the rent-a-DAW subscription model, they all will be doing the same thing.
If the negative sentiments expressed on this board reflect the community as a whole, I see a golden opportunity for hard disc recorder manufacturers to step in and make a killing by adding a few things like Melodyne, Comp Tools, and even plug-ins (like the ones on the back of the old Yamaha Motif Classic).
Back to the future!
