    they have interfaces where you can get all plugins for a reasonable price (as opposed to UAD)
    but you are right, they also have interfaces where you only get a selection of plugins

    but like you can get their entire catalogue for 2000€ with purchasing an interface, not the case at all with UAD, you know, thats the point I was trying to make :)

    Most likely not the DAWs fault

    I recommened **Insert Favourite DAW** here!

    (The question is to broad, you will get as answers members favourite DAWs, the ones they are using and fallen in LOVE with).

    My recommendation is that you test as many DAWs as you can and pick the one(s) which you feel the most home. It doesnt matter what pros are using.

    If you are recording real instruments, mixing them and then mastering (no MIDI stuff) I would advice you to get either Pro Tools or Reaper

    Pro Tools
    +Best take system of all DAWs
    +Superior editing and sample accuracy
    +Easy to learn
    -AAX plugins = harder to use cracked plugins...
    -Expensive
    -Slow development

    Reaper

    +Superior editing and sample accuracy.
    +VST plugins = lots of cracked plugins available
    +Cheap, lots of updates and bug fixes frequently
    +Easy to get started with simple recording...
    -Crappy take system, so have to work around that. If this is important to you, choose Pro Tools instead.
    -You can easily go down the rabbit hole of customization and configuration and this hurts productivity. But if you are a nerd this might translate to fast custom workflows using macros to accomplish things faster.

    Both Pro Tools and Reaper are very accurate daws... draw in a fade and that fade gets played back sample accurate and cleanly. If
    This is often lacking in other DAWs such as Logic, Cubase, S1....Therefore I wouldn't use them for mixing and editing. Recording would be fine.

    LUNA is too young I wouldn't go there...

    If you do electronic music, film scoring, beat making etc then that's another story...
