Favourite DAW to use and why?

Which DAW is your favourite and why?

Which do you find easiest to use and which features are best on the software?
 
Logic Pro.... recording is easy, the flex tool is amazing and the default plugins are awesome. the adaptive limiter and the multipressor are prolly the best features in my opinion....tracks sounds godly if you know how to use them
 
I use pro tools,
The reason is that every studio pro works in PT, so I'm learning as much as posible. Before I use to work on Logic, and a bit of Ableton Live, but Live is more to work with synths. Also I think pro tools is easy to edit and work with. And have great results.
 
Studio One
I've used cakewalk, pro tools, Cubase, Ableton Live, Logic
S1 took the best of all the DAWs I've used into one cohesive package, its streamlined, easy to use, still deep editing function. Just overall inspiring to work with. Also MIDI timing is better then most, sounds great. I can work faster in it. Lastly its available on both Mac and PC which was important for me at this point
 
Well peeps

It used to be cubase

Now it's Logic Pro X

Why????

Because it is simply just logic!

Everything has been thought of here

Screen sharing to network computers hence remote access

A multitude of possibilities for integration with other displays especially with an iPad Pro and 3rd party app

The content that comes with it is phenomenal

Eqs are amazing

Compression options are great

Side chaining don't even start me!

Side chain a delay in a vocal bus with the dry vocal??? Try that out and see what happens, or synth group using the vocal to gently dip the levels of other sounds in your mix.

Midi plugins are awesome too, the chord trigger, arp and note repeat spring to mind.

Advanced settings, ability to distribute load to specific cpu cores and use virtual cores eh come on!

The list is endless.

Haven't even mentioned logic remote, network midi, or full touch control on iOS device

Logic and (**

FTW
 
Well, I personnaly use Samplitude. The object editing is simply amazing, and I could not live without it. I know Protools very well, and Samp is way better, although I would like to see some features from PT added to it ! And the sound is... perfect. Mixing in this DAW makes me mix better. Period.
 
I use Logic. I only started using it in September (slowly learning my way round it too!) and I do enjoy it. I managed to compose a melody through there for a song I wrote and I have also gotten to grips with the keyboard notes for it so far.
 
Northern you need to keep one credit in your account

I've helped you this time but it won't happen again

Logic is great btw
 
Hi, I use Studio One 3 its very because you use it as a record player, simple

If I need midi I use Ableton Live (since I was using Cubase for a long time and also Sonar or Logic but there are full of many things that only an engineer could understand !!! and that 's why they are heavy for the computer and crash so many times in the middle of your inspiration ;)
 
.
I started using Cubase back when it was called "Pro 24" on Atari ST..
Logic was called Notator back then..

Pro 24 then became Cubase and then Cubase VST on Windows..
if I was starting out today I would probably favour Logic Pro..
but you need to be on Mac as there is no version for Windows

I agree! I used Cubase and FL, but S1 is the best DAW.
 
I use Reaper because I bought it and so I'm obligated to my self to use it. Lol. Also I wanted to get into remixing so read up on what I knew I needed like beat mapping and all that jazz. It's only as a hobby so didn't have a budget for pro software I'd barely use the features of. I got obsessed over reading tutorials and watching videos of this elusive art of beat or tempo mapping. And in most it was done by hand. Not wanting to put up with this unacceptable situation I found Reaper was scriptable so thought up some theories on how to automate the process. Then set out to test my ideas and found it worked well enough to be useful. Well most of the time with some manual intervention when needed. I also joined their forum and found them to be friendly enough and with people willing to help. Which helped.

As to be easy to use I think Reaper is hardest on the beginner and even now after being used to it editing quirks can be annoying. But I have a good setup now with some custom buttons for functions I use a bit. So am happy with that. The custom editor could do with some work though. If I can't find something, then I can script it if it's simple enough.

Though the intent is to program in music, not program the DAW. So perhaps Reaper is best explained the way those music trackers used to be explained as, a music program for programmers. :-D
