What DAW Do YOU Use?

[clipfish]

Hi, this thread was made out of sheer curiosity, not to see what's 'better', what's 'popular', none of that.
I simply just want to know what program(s) YOU use to make music.
That is all, I want to know what a lot of you on this forum is using.
Aaaand, go.

I started with FL Studios on Windows from 2004 - 2010. Now using Logic Pro X on Mac from 2011 - current.

 

[TedH03]

Primarily, Presonus Studio One 2.6 or Bitwig Studio 1.1 with an Akai MPC Renaissance loaded as a VST.

I also own a license to Reason 7.1, but it does not get used much these days.

Interesting, why the change?

Interesting, why the change?

1. Switched from PC to Mac (I'm a designer first, musician second). So I had to migrate and learn new stuff.

2. Even though you can use FL on Mac, I felt that I had more freedom when it came to recording. Freedom as in, having my music not sound so right on the money with every note (extreme quantization). I do like to have some "mistakes" in my music so it can sound like everything was done with acoustic instruments. I know you can mimic that real feel in Piano Roll, but I felt Logic did a better job, IMO. FL might do it for you though. Hope you understood that.

[FOREN]

FL studio 11. Tried other DAW's didn't like the interface. FL studio 12 coming with some new changes in the design. I don't like that!

 

[BlackTee]

Reaper and just got a Maschine Mikro

 

[shpitz]

I used cubase and ableton in the past. Now I'm using Reaper.

Fl studio 11. I f***ing love it. It's easy do make drum beats with, and the amount of plugins and effects it comes with is amazing. I used to use cubase 7 and reason at school, but I never really got along with them
