I want the best of the best in a DAW for composing musical scores, I want high quality vst instruments packaged with the DAW (Piano, Strings, Various Percussion, Synths, Unique sound effects, etc). I want an industry standard compositional DAW and I don't give the slightest **** what it costs or what the learning curve is, I have no interest in live performance of compositions, no use for a "session" or "performance" view. What do I want?
Update: I want to add one condition. I am looking for an all-in-one solution for DAW and Instruments, but only if that solution can match the quality of hand picked vst's. If an all in one solution can't match the quality then I am also open to going with something like Reaper, provided Reaper is every bit as competent as something like Cubase in areas besides built in Vst's. If Reaper+Top Notch Vst's is a better all-around solution than something like Cubase Pro, then so be it, I'd go through the hassle of hand picking my instruments.
