'Only' 128 tracks! Haha, I wouldn't use anything like that amount of tracks in a song! I also wouldn't need to record 8 tracks at once either as I'm a solo artist and usually record one or two tracks at a time. I also worked many years with the Music Studio 2014 and was very happy with it. But if that’s not really a limitation for your actual project you will get the same quality as with Pro X especially when using external plugins. There are limitations in the Music Studio in how many tracks you can record simultaneously (I think 8 inputs and 8 outputs), you can only have 128 tracks in a project and at maximum 8 plugins per track. Realistic virtual instruments, impressive studio effects, and intuitive realtime editing with Music Studios 100 neutral sound audio engine. You’re absolutely right! And recording and audio quality are in fact the same.

I've used Samplitude Music Studio before and made professional quality recordings with it, so I don't buy into the idea it's not for pro quality recordings, nore that it's not a DAW!!! It's a serious piece of software, especially when you start adding in VSTs etc.
