Just read this thread earlier today, then did some coding and, in that context, had an interesting thought.

As you may know I wrote the EuCon support for Reaper.

In order to achieve stability, the best approach was to rebuild everything if a track was added or deleted.

Unfortunately this turned out to be slow, and while more stable than other approaches, results were less than stellar -- don't remember exactly, but something like 30 seconds to insert a track on a fairly large project (200 tracks or so ?) -- YUCCCH !

So Avid EuCon represents the Avid brand faithfully, slow, clumsy, bloated, unstable.

On the other hand the Reaper philosophy of lean, mean, solid, and totally customizable shines through on the open source control surface integration project I'm working on.

Using exactly the same rebuild from the ground up strategy, inserting/deleting 1000 tracks takes less than a second, and 2000 takes about 3 seconds.

Appropriate comparison of both the software and corporate entities in this context, don't you think ?
