control devices is a complicated topic, no one seems to care about, only companies trying to sell crappy products. So Reaper solved it perfectly, adding OSC, topic finished. Do what you want. Why adding more nonsense?

Why is there no OSC standard where ALL companies follow to control a DAW. Let us call it here DAWOSC, and every companies product has to support this protocol at least in one of their operation modes. They can add whatever nonsense they want as additional modes, but first having something, where you could take
-any daw
-any device
-switch on the device
-set its mode to DAWOSC
-enjoy everyhting in exactly same way

No matter which device, which company, which color, if plastic or wood or gold. The inputs and outputs should be compatible! As long as this does not exist, why wasting time with individual crappy solutions?

What we have now is:
-midi
-vst
-osc

What we need:
-dawosc

Summary: Buy a device, switch it on, set to DAWOSC mode, have fun!

I guess only Cockos could build such a protocol and device, other companies seem to be too stupid. Thanks for listening. Sometimes fun has to be.
