It's been a while (and therefore several versions since) I've done audio recording/editing but I was always impressed with Propellerhead's audio software. I remember using Reason alongside Adobe Audition or ProTools or whatever-else and Propellerhead's Reason would be running all these synths in parallel and never hiccup or crash. This was on machines from 2005. I recall Windows semi-crashing (and Audition or ProTools with it), explorer.exe completely gone and just a desktop background screen and our midi keyboard still controlling a multi-layer synth set-up and playing from the speakers with perfect responsiveness. (for those who might say that Reason crashed the rest of it and hogged all the resources I'll say this: It never happened when we only had Reason running. It only happened when we had other editing software open as well... and we always had plenty of memory available). I don't know if their stuff is still the same or has started to rot but there was a point where it was a real engine that blew my mind.
