Please don't abandon this program, it's absolutely amazing. I started with MPCs, and moved to DAWs, The quantitization and workflow never felt right. I just discovered this program and I'm truly inspired again. Please keep developing this program, it's a winner 👍🏾

@Icestro beats 11/10. I started working with Cakewalk in 2001-->Sonor Producer 8.x. I built dozens of rigs, Scsi drives, the fastest processors (essentially gaming rigs). I have a ton of old gear etc., including a Roland FA06. IMHO this just sort of made everything obsolete. Clearly, more tracks would be great, but there is nothing stopping someone from fleshing out a significant portion of an idea, and porting it into Ableton etc. I bought an MPK mini in 2018, and sort of shelved it. I decided to look into any new developments yesterday, and literally fell out of my chair. Bravo. I mean, if these guys offered a dental plan, and free money, it would be better for sure, but what the hell, this is very well-thought out, and the tutorial(s) are simply elegant, insightful and inspiring.
