Serato Studio is a fantastic DAW for the musician of electronic music or any other genre. Ideas flow very quickly and avoid complicated and difficult to access menus. Everything is simplified in the new version 2.1.2, together with the fantastic real-time STEMS extraction and true manipulation, you can create a musical idea in a few minutes. FL Studio 21 has this option but you can't do it in real time. In SERATO STUDIO selecting a sound from the waveform and sending it to a PAD and then sequencing it is a matter of two seconds. WONDERFUL! The VST3 support and the unlimited effects you can use per track, per pad or per sound make it a professional level DAW, with an insane final sound! From FL Studio 21 the final WAV export always sounds poor, dull and closed, but from SERATO STUDIO it exports exactly what you hear inside the DAW. The Limiter and EQ and compression sound excellent, but do NOT have access to the individual parameters, hopefully you can edit at least some parameters in future updates. I would also like to have 32 bars in the sequencer as it is now limited in that regard. Thanks to the SERATO STUDIO Development team a lovely DAW for the modern musician~.

Simple question:

So how does VPS Avenger stack up against other heavyweight softsynths?

* It's no contest: at the moment VPS Avenger has them beat in all aspects. The workflow feels natural and there is an unbelievable amount of included presets amongst the factory content and expansions.

It's definitely the easiest digital synth we've used in terms of opening a preset and then dialing in the sound we want. Compared to other synths, the GUI is intuitive throughout- from the sequencer to modulation routing, to dialing in complex waveforms.

Most importantly, though, it sounds absolutely incredible, with that characteristic Vengeance energy, power and richness married to the deep textural nuance that only wavetable synthesis can bring.

Overall, we were very impressed by VPS Avenger. It sounds amazing, and the sonic possibilities are limited only by your imagination. If you're a synthesis newbie, this might not be the easiest place to start in terms of learning and understanding synth programming, but if you've got some experience under your belt, Avenger is a treat that you won't quickly outgrow. And, the presets alone will have you creating inspiring music right off the bat. This is a worthy sonic addition to any MIDI studio.
