What is it if it isn't Rosd's Cubase solution?

Steve. Is this a Windows based solution? I know that Ross has been working in
QBase for years however, even that requires use of an external control
surface to work.

Phil, as I mentioned yesterday, there is another high end DAW solution, but
it isn’t quite ready for wider use yet. A recording platform is incredibly
complex, as you know, and these things don’t happen as quick as we would
like . Best Steve.

Steve. Totally agree with you. We need a hi end DAW solution to replace
Sonar 8.5.3. It's great software however, that won't help current VI
students in education. Further more, DD will eventually run out of Sonar
8.5.3 Producer boxes and who knows what will happen then :-( Think the issue
at Cakewalk is that they are way too busy trying to chase any dollars they
can in order to survive. The crazy thing is that with a little investment,
they could pick up more end users. I have a client over here who would
purchase software like that if it were available. They are aware that DD can
supply a new Sonar 8.5.3 box but understandably don't want to pay those kind
of shipping and related costs for a product that is 5 plus years out of date.

Yep, totally agree with you Phil. Reaper, at the moment, is a dead end for
any kind of extra development outside of the current main solution, simply
because there is absolutely no support for anything Jaws related in the
Reaper environment.
This could possibly change, as some Sonar users are moving over to Reaper,
due to the latest Sonar being uncertain...and a few of them may want access
to plugs they had previously used in Sonar. Apart from that, there really
isn’t no appetite for anything that isn’t free on the Reaper platform,
probably because of it’s very low cost/free availability, along with the
use of NVDA or a crack version of Jaws.. Of course, this isn’t to say that
is the case across the board, but in the past 2/3 years of making HSC sets
available,, 99% of request for free sets come from Reaper users. I’ve
found that users who have invested in CT or Jaws for example, will invest
in a plug and access, those who don’t invest in such things, find it
difficult to make that jump.
I think it’s a good thing we have Reaper, as it is giving an option to
users who don’t want to invest and just dabble with recording, but we still
need the high end access and tools to keep up with the sighted user. Best
Steve.

Steve. You raise some valid points. You are absolutely right. Hadn't
thought of the offset issue but no doubt it will be an issue for sure :-(
Shall have to carefuly considder the cost for this as think there will be a
financial cost with regard to doing this :and I won't be picking up the tab
for that -)

Phil, in my experience, it’s not as simple as you’ve mentioned. There is a
definite offset...and depending on the plug in question, splitting up the
set and applying different offsets may be necessary.

Recoding the sets for Reaper is as simple as changing the Window title
name and application name referenced in the sets. Can do a find and
replace all for that :-) As for interest in Reaper and Jaws HSC sets, sure
ask the Reaper folks. Would be interesting to get some numbers :-)
Personally planning to keep Sonar 8.5.3 installed even if I start to dig
into Reaper as Sonar has some great plug-ins. Hmm, could recode all Sonar
HSC sets so that they also work in Reaper. It would be nice to be able to
use the Sonitus EQ and Compressor in Reaper as I have a ton of
personalised presets that I use here for both of those plug-ins.

Haha I just asked this very question. Please ignore that post. Glad to
hear it's not that much work to repurpose the sets. Count me in as very
very interested, especially since I'll be buying your sets as soon as I
get paid for the current mixing job.
Want me to ask the Reaper folks how many are using Jaws, to gauge the
level of interest?

Yes the HSC sets for Superior Drummer 2 are Sonar based. Having said--- Learn to meditate and train your brain with Muse, the first lab-grade

Haven't had any requests for that yet though.

I tend to mainly still use Sonar due to the scripts our dear
Steve has
made :) As well as other HSC sets and scripts that depend on Sonar
to
work. No matter how you turn the wheel, it's still true that
currently
if you want to use virtual instruments like the orange tree samples
stuff you're pretty much stuck with Sonar. I'm guessing the stuff
Phil
did for Superior is also Sonar-based. Kontakt is also best supported
in SOnar, although some autoHotkey scripts exist that work with I
believe the standalone version as well. I'd love to use Reaper full
time, but I'd lose too many of my preferred tools. As for what theme
to use in win10, I guess either the standard or high-contrast theme
would be best. My preference would go for standard because thats
what
comes by default, but I have no idea how suitable that theme is for
color detection.

perhaps a crowd-funding campaign? People were able to more than fund
development of NVDA Remote recently, raising some ten grand or so.

Thanks for that.
I should clarify my statement about it being a total Microsoft issue.
What
I mean is that since the OS has to change to accommodate things like
tablets and the like, it seems that there's this constant burden that
third-party developers have to scramble to make their products work under
the new OS; which is fine, as long as there's some sort of mechanism in
place t
hat can
help them do just that. Not everybody has the massive
resources that Microsoft and Apple have to do it; consequently they're
constantly behind in having to catch up with the latest and greatest. It
takes a lot of money and resources paying programmers decent wages, etc.
I don't know what a fair and viable solution is; and though I understand
the need to keep up with the technology, I agree with you that right now
we have a system in place that works quite well, and it's pretty darn
stable.

8.8
Microsoft is not at fault here; honestly in order to make most of the UI
improvements they have, they had to ditch the old engine and start with a
new one, especially
for
using apps. Just like what they had to do with the
start menu, taskbar, notification/tray, menu bars which are mostly
ribbons
now, and many other core windows functions. Anyone whoâs tried windows
8 and above knows how different things are from windows 7 and before.
Theyâd assume the screen readers and other technologies would make
whatever changes to keep up to date with their OS.
