Last week, FutureMusic blog mentioned there’d be new Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) from Propellerhead, which would be announced in Producers Conference, an event held by Propellerhead. Moreover, This isn’t a new feature for Reason, but it’s complete new product.

Today, tweet from @propellerheadSW mentioned this video. It’s the look of people when looking at “Something New” from Propellerhead. If it actually is the new DAW, what do I expect?

There’re big-name out there; the new Protools 8, the bang-for-buck Apple Logic, Cubase5, soon-to-come Nuendo5 and Sonar8. and there’s a new coming such as Presonus Studio-One as well. The war of DAW is too tough if Propellerhead is making a conservative style DAW.

I’m thinking about a normal DAW come with all Reason modules as instruments and effects those can be used with third-party VST/AU stuffs. The classic cable wiring of Reason would be too messy and inconvinient for big scale of music production, saying orchestration with 64 NN-XT samplers. So, making a new DAW with Reason modules would help. This shouldn’t be an upgrade for Reason since many people still love the way Reason works as all-in-one and easy to get started music production.

just my 2 cents, let’s see what will happen in a few days.
