Looking at the images it's a confusing mess of colors and shapes - by looking at that can you somehow do things that you wouldn't be able to accomplish with traditional tools?

Reaper has spectral editing apparently, but I've never bothered using it.

Look at this product line up.

Cubase
Nuendo (integration with Wwise and very VR/ambisonic capable)
Wavelab
Spectralayers
Dorico (the best of Sibelius pre-digidesign acquirement + some, now easily the best scoring program imo)
VariAudio (near Melodyne equivalent)
Audio Alignment (needing some refining)
ARA2
Groove Agent 5
Halion
Yamaha Nuage consoles
relationship with Rupert Neve Designs
AXR4 AD/DA with DSP effect and RND Silk

That's a serious fVkn product line. WhoTF is competing with this?

Steinberg, you're on a ball

ENORMOUS difference.

I will admit that the upgrade prices get steeper and steeper if you don't upgrade often, but you can always just wait for the 50% off sales that typically happen once a year if you're patient.
