Yeah, but stick to the universally accepted definitions and not your handmade ones. Don't call a candy shit because you can or because it's your opinion. And you haven't explained your 'superiority' yet and just flashing sword in air the whole time. Yeah, I am superior because I think so, that won't work.

 

Yea it definitely ranges thats for sure. I can recall Reaper back then, but I think that I thought it was an expansion for Reason.
Man eveythings different these days that's for damn sure. Coming back to an actual PC after so many years and getting back into producing music it's like waking from a coma and entering a new world. My old dinosaur I bought back around 2002-2003 still works lol, which is a shock to me. I'd been on the internet since I was 14 though, so I'd been around a long time. For the past 15+ years I've used my phone for anything interent related, I hadn't really seen an actual computer but only to tasks like word documents and such. I started on windows 95, hell I remember having to put commands in Ms DOS lol. You rememebr the Brother computers? LOL it was like the digital type writers/word processor, you could play little games on it too

DUDE NO WAY LOOK WHAT I FOUND! YOU CAN PLAY OREGON TRAIL ONLINE NOW!!

HOLY SHIT.. NOSTALGIA! Takes me back to like 3rd grade haha

 

That's interesting, just checked it again with version 7.16, the one I've got installed, and it's indeed not that bad anymore, but I'm still always getting exact multiples of the buffer size for the whole chain, not less.

I'm always a few versions behind, and the last time I noticed this, it definitely was like I described. But as I don't play any live instruments in Reaper, I never noticed it changed and never tested it again.

 

I actually use different DAWs to make music for no other reason than that each DAW "environment" motivates me to make slightly different music. It's entirely subjective.

I actually started on a software called "Making Waves" that came as a free software from a Computer Music Magazine sample disk (remember those?)

I then jumped to Reason 3.0 and Fruityloops 3. Still get lifetime free updates.
I used FL for years until I discovered Studio One. That one is probably my favorite to this day.
At one point I dabbled in Acoustica Mixcraft. I actually liked that one a lot as well.
I used Cakewalk Sonar back when it was called that. I liked the sounds that came with it.

Nowadays I use Cubase. It works similarly to Studio One. But I also jump back to FL and Reason for nostalgia, but also because they're both just fun to use.

There is no reason to jump around to different DAWs like this. I happen to like tinkering with them all and figuring things out.

The one DAW that never quite clicked with me is Ableton Live. That DAW's workflow is just a different creative philosophy. If I had started on that instead of FL, I would probably like it a lot.

I've never owned a Mac, so I've never used Logic. Maybe one day.

I even dabbled in making music on my Iphone once and was quite surprised with how capable that ecosystem is for making music. I used an app called NanoStudio.

My point is this: Whichever DAW YOU feel comfortable with is the DAW for you. There is no right answer. There is no "best." There IS the one you feel most comfortable with.

I don't care what hammer you use. I do care what you build with it.

That makes someone seem stressed and a bit overwhelmed. Of course that leads to stress and dissatisfaction, especially when something works. We all know that here. The problem "has to" be solved in any case, otherwise you're not happy.

C:\Program Files (x86)\VSTPlugins 32 Bit Plugins = x86
C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins 64 Bit Plugins = x64

FL Studio 64 Bit features: 32 Bit bridged and 64 Bit native VST plugin support.

- Image Line - Fl Studio bridges automatically and does not need jBridge!
- Cakewalk - Sonar bridges automatically and does not need jBridge!

Cheapest daw is mixcraft very affordable and it’s better than reaper

 

That's a well known more broad definition not mine. Don't you have anything more picking on me than definitions used in humorous meaning which I already explained you?
As for "superiority" that were your weird assumptions playing a psychiatrist in chat.

Ok when my dog will makes some poop Il'l call it candy for you.

Why are you discussing my personality, because I don't like Image-line business model or make fun of their cartoonish interface? Do you feel insulted? I remind you the name of the thread is:
Favorite DAW and why?

 

im actually enjoying my FL studio journey i own signature and so far its been fun

 

Don't do this please. You already have opinions. That's enough.

For the subject of the thread, I have already said that it is personal preference. In the end a DAW is just a tool. And I certainly ain't going to thrash a DAW for providing free updates nor I have got the balls to criticize something for the looks, when I am myself using something that looks like acquired straight from a museum.

People please stay on topic and behave like human beings. Please stop using this Fecal language.

 

what DAW has the best arrangment workflow ,editing possiblities and best useablity ,i mean snappy on point less clicks expanding or shortening midi or audio ?
from the less i know , best is live and worst is reason .

why people like renoise appart from the tracker thing .
...and whats pro and cons about a modern DAW and tracker ?

 

If you ask me, it's Studio One. If you ask an FL Studio user, he'll answer FL Studio, if you ask a Bitwig user, he'll answer Bitwg, if you ask a Cubae user, he'll answer Cubase use etc.... the best thing to do is to install all DAWs and test them thoroughly and then decide on one that you can get along with.

 

In general I agree with @Radio's reply to this, but truly, if what you listed are the most important things for you in a DAW, I would genuinely suggest Reaper. That comes from someone that uses Reaper occasionally, and Nuendo regularly.
