SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The price of the software is much more accessible than many educational licenses. There's no need to get any software illegally! They are all included!
OVERALL OPINION
Let's be honest, not everything is perfect, and you need some time to adapt to it. In the end, the workflow improves a lot thanks to several very appropriate keyboard shortcuts. On the other hand, you have to explore the complex menus from top to bottom, the plug-ins don't always have a GUI worthy of their capabilities and audio quantization is much more arduous than with Live.
On the other hand, the routing is amazing! You need an LFO or the envelope of another track on a parameter that is too static? Just check a box and it's done on the fly! Awesome!! All program and VST buttons are sidechainable and modular!
