The positive would be the work could be distributed among any number of people yet they’d all be linked together. The downside would be needing to close a thread and reconstruct a new one when someone decided they could no longer maintain the thread plus the need to update links to reflect those changes. The impact of a person retiring from a thread could be mitigated by having several people getting copies of the thread’s content (backup) so they can easily pass the torch onto their replacement.
A positive aspect would be the ability to easily agree upon and modify what should be included in the threads.
Allowing forum members to post their comments in a structured way could help ensure it reflects the community’s needs and priorities in an easily accessible format.
If I get more ambitious, I might do a mock-up of how such a setup might look like so users could get a sense of what it could look like.
Thanks for the info. I’m not sure we could do similar here because we can’t control other people’s posts on a thread, but it has given me some ideas. I’m sure we could use the ‘send us content’ idea in a slightly different form - will think on that one
If we do spin off and incorporate any wikis eventually, then your help would be most gratefully accepted. For now, I think we are best starting on the basics and see if it takes off first.
Thanks for your input
I can see some good options there. I have envisioned a few negatives, but will jot down a few thoughts tomorrow and pass them by you to see if we can come up with a well rounded solution. I suppose the way to go would be to think of a mission statement between us - clarifying what we want as an aim so that we can better find solutions that work.
Sounds good, look forward to what you come up with.
I think the biggest issue with using forum posts for this project is the amount of time you’re allowed to edit a post which is a month. This means when you can no longer edit the post, you’ll have to create a new post with links for the updated information. This means separating out descriptions/explanations features of DAWs from specific DAW apps would be less maintenance. This could take the form of two cross referenced lists:
If Michael found this project useful enough, perhaps he would/could be willing to create a special account used only to administer project posts which didn’t have the monthly limit for editing posts though people wanting to create similar sorts of projects might want similar privileges which might become too much of an administrative headache for him.
Here’s an example of the sorts of formatting that can be done with markdown.
Non-Traditional DAWs with no time line or Ableton Live style clip launching from cells or MIDI tracks. All of these apps have a mixer, MIDI routing capabilities, can host AUv3 apps including AUv3 MIDI, Link, and can host each other via IAA. They can save setups as user presets. Their sync features vary.
Ive been thinking about this and I think a variety of report styles and maybe a questionaire might get the required info.
I really liked some of the questionaires done here to help devs know what was the most popular feature request/bug fix for an app.
I know it is very subjective but I think a questionaire might get a nice set of results.
Here is the idea, two stages
First stage. Ask in a questionaire
LWhat do you need a daw to do?”
Edit audio
Edit midi
Host auv3
Mix
Master or
Other suggestion
We build a list and the most popular 10 ideas/needs go on to be the next questionaire, which is like this ...
Stage two. Rate each of the daws
Which app/daw does this best?
Audio editing?
Auria
BM3
NS2
Etc
If you think this is a fair/worthwhile approach Ill give it a try. It will only be complimentary to the other reports as it will be very subjective but it might be useful.
Thanks for that. It might be easier if you do more of the layout duties as you know what your doing. I’m not too lazy to learn, but it might speed the initial getting something up and running
not passing the buck like 
Yep Have some plans for such things and have been jotting out some ideas for information hunts - but NS2 has dropped lol
Sounds good. I’ll put together some more example posts of how we might consider displaying information for DAWs and their features in a grid. The above was more of an overview/summary display of the information.
Here’s an example of the sorts of table and grid formatting that can be done with markdown.

In the grid below, I’ve duplicated columns of information to show how a grid comparing multiple apps would display. The text for the features alternates between plain and italic text to distinguish them from each other.

@InfoCheck
You’ve been working hard
Might be wise to hold off for now, as I’ve just been told someone else is already doing a comparison chart on another site. Will look into it and see if we even need to bother now lol
I do like what you’ve been doing though!
Here the categories for the grids have been organized for better formatting on smaller screens.

I will continue to develop these comparison charts as they’re an opportunity for people here to influence and correct the information presented. The unnamed individual creating a comparison chart on another site could also benefit from the forum’s collective wisdom as well. We could certainly include a link to the other person’s site too.
In addition, I think there are a lot of people on the forum and elsewhere who post content related to using iOS music creation apps and adding links to their content would seem to be a good idea as well as it’d seem like a mutually beneficial way to proceed.
Lastly, such comparison charts could be used for other FAQ type purposes too and developing these charts for the DAW apps could translate to those efforts as well.
You’re doing such a good job, it’s definitely worth carrying on
oh shit...this escalated quickly
Wow... you're delivering such a good work I don't even have anything useful to add to this conversation, besides my thumbs up for motivation!

Here's an outline of the DAW feature Grids.
The number of features per grid is kept short to enable viewing them on small acreens.
Found in App Store Description
This section will be information about the App Store listings and not a grid.
App Basics
This section will not be a grid but an overview of each DAW.
DAW App Feature Comparison Grids
The apps will be listed as columns to the right of the numbered features. The information entered into the grids will be emoticons 🙂 (app has the feature), 🚫 (app doesn't have the feature), or 📄(link to a detailed explanation). Where appropriate numbers or other emoticons will be used to allow up to 9-10 DAW apps to be compared to each other. As needed, a description of what the emoticons mean plus a detailed description of what the features and functions are will accompany each conparison grid.
