I don’t think there’s a way to do a proper poll so if you don’t see your DAW mentioned in a top level comment, make the comment to the post. If it’s already listed, maybe just upvote it? That way we can get a representation of what DAWs are more among subscribers here.
I’m curious just because it’s always neat to hear what people use and how, but also to see how possible tuts or techniques can be explained in a way more people will understand. Or provide a variety of examples for various DAWs.
EDIT: Actually, I don’t know the best way to list the ones I use without making a few comments to this post. I’ll just upvote them if I see them listed.
Reaper! I love it and would (probably) never switch.
I tried reaper years ago when it was still in its infancy. Maybe I need to try it again.
I’d recommend giving it a spin for sure. They’ve been consistently adding features that make different things easier to do. It’s crazy flexible and if there’s a setup you want, someone has probably made it work before. And it’s free to try, with an installation that takes like five seconds.
I got started with some YT tuts on getting it setup and have been running it for the past day. I’m starting by cloning my main Pro Tools template into Reaper and so far… holy shit.
I can honestly say that I’ve slept on this DAW and understand why it has the following and support it does. I can make it my DAW. I have the chance to work on a new project with it today so let’s see how that goes.
I’ve been using Ardour for quite a long time now.
I’m using propellerhead reason 12. Reason was pretty much the first thing I used and every time I try something else out I get overwhelmed having to relearn everything I know already in reason. I don’t think it’s a very popular date but it gets the job done. Still wanna actually take the time and learn something new though.
Ableton Live 12 is my main
I like Reason, FL studio & renoise too as they kinda force you to go about things a bit differently
Bitwig Studio! Came for the grid, then barely ended up touching it since the whole DAW is so modular.
