Hi,
Well, I have my ideas. For someone like me who is only decent at music and
midi stuff, and not what the common DAW terms are, using one is no easy
task, especially when they tend to be big and sometimes slow as you said.
Plus, for me, QWS and Gold Wave click perfectly. As soon as I opened both
for the first time, I could do things with them, and I only had to use the
manual when I needed it. but if I have a program like a DAW that isn't so
easy to just start and record with, and I have to look through a hundred
page PDF to figure out why, I simply get discouraged.
DAWs are just big and scary things that I'm not well rehearsed at. Of course
we can't expect QWS to cover that. If QWS were to evolve into any audio
form, I'd think the most it would need to do is be able to load, and or
record audio files, and be able to mix, edit and have effects, even if it's
just VST effect support. Then you could chop audio up with some basic
splicing features, and perform audio edits like you would in midi, by
selecting the part you want to modify in beats and ticks. And then mix
tracks and have all of the QWS midi functions for midi editing. That's the
utmost I could ever expect a program like QWS to do. But will it ever
happen? Probably not. There's no real strong need for it and it would
probably need to be almost completely recoded, which takes up way too much
energy especially for one person. I can use audio editors for my audio
recording and mixing needs and QWS for the midi stuff. It's more primitive
and it probably takes longer, but I've grown used to it. Then again I am
only a hobbiest.

Why does everyone want to turn every program into a DAW? I've heard people
refer to Reason as a DAW recently, which it isn't, and now the desire to
turn QWS into a DAW?
If QWS starts adding a bunch of DAW features like audio and the like I'll
stop using it. This application bloat philosophy drives me nuts. No one
tries to talk Craftsman or Snap-on into making a tool that is a hammer,
screwdriver, pliers, adjustable wrench, drill, sander, and tape measure.
Every time you increase the functions of code you slow the code. If I want
to use loops or some such in QWS I'd just get a VST sampler and use MIDI
Yoke or another program to access it if I needed extra connections.

Wow! Great! As I said, that would be a reason to pay for it! Don't get
me wrong, QWS is awesome, but at this time I think it is the most stable
Sequencer and maybe in the future a little, but fine DAW. Don't know!
There are so many unfinished projects, like ReaAccess and that stuff,
and QWS is so simple and already powerful, like it is now. I think it
could only get better! I hope my Opinion is clear to understand. Sorry
again for my miserable language.
