Yeah. Didn't S1 people come from Cubase?
Remember, again, I just found basic xfading it's just not as easy as the S1 model.
S1 is a robust unit (was just talking about this on another site) but I always feel like I'm learning it instead of getting things done. Also, I didn't like the ATOM and found that the faderport 2018 to be too remedial vs the faderport 8.....which I didn't want to buy (I don't really have the real estate for it anyways) and just canceled my splice.
Honestly, Reason does just about everything I really need and if I was a serious mixing I could just re-apply my splice and use it that way.
Yes, S1 development was originally lead by two influential developers from Steinberg, now one of them has switched to EastWest Studios, but still some great developers left.
I find the ATOM incredibly useful, what about it didn't you like?
I love Reason as well, and I do feel that it is the most creative DAW out there, but when it comes to recording and editing audio it just doesn't cut it yet.
I hope that this will change in future versions.
I recently made the jump from Ableton Live Suite and purchased Reason 10, so I'm still learning and I keep stumbling into these "what? isn't that implemented??" moments, but usually I find workarounds.
I recently got S1 version 4 as a dirt-cheap upgrade from S1 v3 Artist (free with an audio interface), it was like $150 for the full professional version, so I've been doing the things that is a PITA with Reason in S1, and use Reason as a creative, fun and awesome tool for experimenting with sound design and mixing.
I've just settled with using the best tool for the job, even if this means I have to use two different DAWs for different tasks...
