I think the most valuable feedback I'm taking away today is to immediately stop using the term DAW. I'm building a loop arranger that exports a project to a DAW. REAPER is what I use to create samples. It's the only DAW I know of that allows scripting powerful enough to create a project, add midi, bounce the tracks, annotate them and upload to my server. I was hoping the BitWig api would allow me to do all these things but it doesn't. At least not yet?
