Hi! Sorry if this has been asked before. I basically do all my composing by clicking in MIDI notes. I've been using Reaper for now and while It works and is incredibly customizable, sometimes I just can't get past how ugly it is, and when you factor in themes and extensions it becomes an incoherent mishmash of different UIs that's more distracting than anything for my taste.
I've pretty much narrowed down my search to Studio One and Cubase. My main goal is to use it for video game soundtracks. Not necessarily always orchestral but pretty much doing everything with MIDI. I plan to try out both myself but I figured some opinions from people who might have used both would also help guide me a bit. Some opinions I'm looking for are how you feel they both manage articulations, general ease of use when editing MIDI and automations with mouse, mixer routing (Reaper was incredible for this), and any other thoughts you guys may have comparing the two. Thanks!
