I worked with all major PC DAW, but for me Cubase is most versatile choice for both audio and MIDI sides.

Ive been using Reason 4, I recently got Live 8 but I cant get my head around it and dont really do anything productive and just was time figuring stuff out.

With Reason I have a faster workflow, especially using combinators. I have thought recently however to rewire and maybe use some effects from Live, but rewiring can be so daunting tho.

I’ve tried almost everything (ACID, Samplitude, FL Studio, Sonar, Cubase etc.). For now i kept my hands on Ableton Live 8, Reason 4 and Cockos Reaper 3. Awesome set! Seems to mee that i’ll never leave them

For audio and midi film scoring and recording: Pro tools
For making electronic music: Ableton Live
And for some midi sequencing Live.

Very Happy Logic user. Most of the issues re DAW choices to me are familiarity.. I like Logic, know Logic and it does what I want and comes with a lotta cool tools to help in the box.

I would consider Protools but I would in some way have to change my mindset as Logic seems to work the way I think.. Mind you that said Protools v8 has really kicked the standard up a little and so would be more approachable to me.

Logic is probably great for Muso’s other DAWs may suit engineers better because of their thought patterns and also because of their historical training etc.

There is little that I , personally, need to do that Logic cant do for me so as far I as I am concerned Logic is my main man.

i’d have to say my best combination right now is PT9 rewired with Reason as my drum sampler. They work great for me, but something is a bit missing. I have a fast creative work flow and I can’t get it out fast enough. Pro Tools just wasn’t made for MIDI.

I’ve used many DAW’s. I started with acid when I was a kid. Upgraded to FL. In highschool I used Cubase. In college I use Pro Tools. And now I think I’m gonna switch to Logic.

I need a workflow similar to FL. I agree it’s great making music with FL. It’s simple and I’m able to get my ideas out faster. I was insipred by a student at school who used Logic to do all the things I use to do with FL. I think switching to Logic is going to be a great stability point for me. I’m tired of having to relearn all the same stuff in a different DAW.

Apple Logic ftw!
