There were some great developments over the years, but the same weird left handed features (I`m sure everyone is aware of them ie automation, routing etc) persisted, and loud voices like Bones stuck their head in the sand and their feet in the mud over any sort of change (common with old people).
Support was very impersonal and infrequent, and over time I realised that nothing was going to happen and moved on to make another DAW my main choice in the studio as working with Orion was stifling when wanting to push things further.
Everyone I turned on to Orion eventually moved away from it for pretty much the same reason. Only 1 guy out of the many who I got on to it at the time, that I know, still uses it.

of course a free, cheap or with an insane demo mode product like reaper does not need any ads !
only the word of mouth is enough.
you can't compare the price model of reaper and orion, it's not the same at all.

You too are living in denial my friend. I'll say it one more time. Orion did not fail because of a lack of advertising. That's simply ridiculous. Would advertising have helped ? Not if your product is inferior to the competition.
I admire the loyalty you guys display but really it's blind loyalty..........

But, I'm not really hopeful about that discussion, so I'm butting out of this one.
Cheers!
