I’m currently using Pro Tools but started in Logic. For my needs and workflow, Pro Tools just has everything I need and I’m used to it. Curious what everyone on here is using?

I use LMMS because i’m too broke to buy a more “professional” DAW…

But honestly, when you really learn to use it, it’s not as bad as some people would say. Getting a really good sound on this DAW is really tedious.

Have you tried ardour? I remember it being a little better than LMMS, but I don’t use either very much

It’s a pain to install it on windows. I’ll try it when i’ll take the time to set a dual boot or a VM on my PC.

I think, most people consider Ardour a step up from LMMS and it’s also free. It’s also a step up in terms of learning curve, though, so for my hobby usage, I’m quite fine with LMMS…

LMMS is a free and open source DAW, often seen as the poor man’s FL Studio

Migrated from ProTools to Reaper. The feature set is fantastic, also the price. The UI is a mess, but you get used to it. I also couldn’t stand AVIDs whole licensing process anymore.

Reaper gang! I was using PreSonus Studio One for a while, but I was doing some pretty heavy MIDI I/O and it kept bugging out. Switched to Reaper and worked like a charm the first time; been using it ever since.

I use Reaper as its a cheap one time purchase (unlimited free trial too) and I find its workflow the most intuitive of any daw I have tried so far. Great online community of you get stuck too.

Pro Tools here, been using it since college because it was the biggest best option. Has everything I want to do in a way that makes sense for my needs. Especially as someone who doesn’t do much with electronic type music. Haven’t wanted to do anything that I can’t or find inconvenient so haven’t bothered seriously exploring other options.

Nice! What kind of music do you work on mainly?

The broad rock thing. Bands and singer songwriter stuff. Other stuff too, but that’s the bread and butter. Little to no time aligning or auto tuning.
