Gordon...

re 'way off'...well the op DID mention dev tools.

as to the future...heres what i would like...

1..flac for recording and playback across all apps.
2..more AI...but what i mean is 'applicable' 'artfull' intelligence.
currently lots of hype re AI. AI as you know isnt magic...behind it is still programming code etc.
by 'applicable' intelligence i mean any feature that makes life things easier for the song creator and also targets the poor musicians out there and saves the poor guy or gal money.
for example i'll be impressed with AI when i can record a electric guitar solo and if the sound quality is junk cos i'm useing a junk guitar amp cos i'm a poor muso i can now say 'ok AI gimme the sound of the lead break to xxx famous rock song lead break useing my notes'....lol.
another example might be in the pg picker say 'ok picker give me the drum sound of xxx famous song' etc etc....and AI trots off and creates such.

in summary not AI everywhere thats gonna bloat up the music app and thus cause probs on a junky pc but 'clever' AI with clever features.
