Since Shreddage has many guitars and basses with lots of articulations, amps, etc. I think the main value proposition here would be the EZ part.   Shreddage is not easy to use, especially for a non guitar player since you have to create somewhat complex MIDI note and CC patterns to get the sounds you are looking for.   A huge value add would come from a more simplistic approach to score the guitar and/or a mechanism to take audio samples (stems) of guitar parts and convert them to a score which can then be modified to be recording ready.

Some DAWs support humanize themselves.   Studio One (now Studio Pro) has this and I use it for keyboard parts and any MIDI.  You can also choose what you want to humanize and how much.   I am sure many do not and this would likely be a nice feature for those; although I do find that I have to do some of this humanize work myself.  But slight variations automatically can be good.   SD3 does support choosing different samples and alternating patterns etc.  I assume you are really looking to vary velocity and timing.

I have been a long time izotope owner and continue to update to newer versions every few releases BECAUSE they offer this option.  I never feel like I need a yearly upgrade only being a hobbyist at this point, but like to keep my suite reasonably up to date.   Same with Presonus Studio One.  They offer a good discount to existing customers.

Other options for folks who want to be running on newer software.   I do like the ml-sound products.

I think I also would upgrade if this was available for at least 100$ discount.   I also own expansion packs.   I am pretty surprised that they are ok with customer’s looking at alternative products vs. keeping their customer base locked into their line.
