i feel like a mix of this and reaper would be the best DAW ever. been trying it out, and it rips. i prefer the sends and receives in reaper, and routing with superior drummer. i like how in reaper i could record the output of the tracks, but in studio one, i cant even find a way to make the tracks visible outside the mixing area, with the rest of the audio tracks. sucks, but im fine with it for the most part. also, on some tracks, some fx dont come up that i have on other ones. i have the L2 on one track, and couldnt find it on another for the insert. i just dragged it over from the other track, but just saying, would be nice. i think its sick though. i have to get used to it more though
