I have been a loyal customer of N! for over 10 years but, finally, my relationship with them is coming to an end. Patiently year after year I've waited for some new innovation that I would be hysterical about. So what did we get, ooh yeah, Pattern player and Maximizer. LOL, Both of these features are ridiculously not wanted to by the community. The latest, outstanding new feature across other platforms is STEMS.. NI for whatever reason must have blinders and it will be probably another two years before NI have this feature. Serato, Rekord Box, and Algoriddum is leading the industry in innovation while NI is in quicksand. Like I said after 10 years of sluggish development even with the addition of iZotope, Plugin Alliance, and Brainworx this company still needs a lifeline. Perhaps Pioneer should acquire NI just like they did Serato Audio Research Limited and the frustration with NI and Traktor Kontrol Plus.
