DAW Fluency - A Survey (or something..)

[InternetSlaveMaster]

Hey guys,

So for my stats class, I have to basically... get some stats. So, I decided I would do it in DAW fluency.

By this I mean, how many DAWs are you fluent in? (How many can you fully use)

So basically, how many DAWs could you complete a full track in? (In a considerable amount of time/without consulting the internet/manual/friends)

For example, while I know how to do a few things in Live, I wouldn't consider myself fluent in it because I don't know all the workarounds, etc..

What I really need is for you to list how many DAWs you would consider yourself fluent in. Feel free to list their names as well.

Thanks for your help guys, I'll post the results here later

(Basically, it will be interesting to see how many people are fluent in multiple daws)

I'm fluent in being a beast

at FL.

Suppose I should speak for myself as well:
1 - Fl Studio

[Genevieve]

1, Renoise. Know it inside out and figured out my own tricks on it by combining features.

[Sine69]

1 - Ableton Live.

[JFK]

Cubase

[hasezwei]

reaper and logic.
tried both ableton and fl (as they were the first programs i ever used) but they give me headaches and don't make sense to me.

which means i don't get them.

does reaktor count as a DAW? i could probably do a whole tune, not really sequencing/mixing but i often do live improvisation with drum modules and custom drone/ambience ensembles/fx chains.

Umm, Wikipedia doesn't list it as a DAW so I'm gonna have to say no.

logic
reaper
reason

also i can get around in cubase and FL and finish a tune im sure but i dont know them as well as the others.

1 - Sony Acid

I also use Sony Vegas for video but it has vsti and DXi capability but I cant ever finish a tune so I guess 0

DAW exist for reasons entirely opposite from live improv/ambient sound design.. so, i wouldn't count that. Sequencing and mixing are the foremost functions of a DAW.
I am fluent in MOTU DP, Garage Band, and Pro Tools. So, three DAWs. if you're counting Reason, i'm fluent in that too, but Reason is an instrument suite. Maschine as well. if you count them, five.

Umm, Wikipedia doesn't list it [. . .] so I'm gonna have to say no.

lol u really are a slave to the internet then, huh?

I'll count Reason, even if it doesn't support audio files.

oh if reason counts add that to my post! so it's reason, reaper, logic.

but well, you *could* program a sequencer in reaktor and i'm sure people have done it before, also it's a workstation and digital

but lets not be picky, 3 actually is more than i thought i'd answer.

[jrisreal]

FL and somewhat in acid 7. Not as fluent In acid because it isn't my primary Daw.

[Gurnumsbug]

Ableton Live, Acid Pro, & FL

[Heartless]

Ableton Live
FL Studio
Reason
StudioOne

[Mad_EP]

Ableton
Cubase
Deck (hahah - that was on old one, but I made some tracks with it that made it on my releases)

so that's 3 I guess. I worked a fair amount in Pro Tools as well, but not in a typical DAW way, more just for tracking voice over sessions.

one - fl
