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?
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.
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.
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
Ardour (on a Mac). Lots of control and it’s open source. It continues to get better as well.
Reaper.
I started with Cool Edit Pro in the late 90s. Moved to Cubase a few years later for a class I was taking. Then Ableton out of curiosity around 2010 until minor issues with how it handled MIDI files drove me to Reaper three or four years ago.
Barring drastic changes, I don’t see myself switching again. Reaper works. The price is right. It’s a tiny download. It’s eminently customizable.
