Wondering which DAW the board likes the best out of all options I can think of Mac and PC.

this is a dumb question but I voted anyway. People are only gonna vote for what theyre currently using really
All DAWs are equal tbh - its what you do with it that matters. Try a few demos and find which one works best for you

Audio processing has been a universal science since before the computer was invented.

This is about like asking a doctor what brand of scalpel they think is best... they all do the same exact damn thing.

it's dumb to ask anyone their opinions on something? yes most people will vote for what they are currently using (hence why they are using that one and not another one in the first place). many people have used more than one and have an opinion as to which one they like more. i wasn't saying this to determine which one i would use, i'm perfectly happy with my DAW of choice i was just trying to see actual number on which one most people were using/liking.

People opinion of on why they use one and not another is going to be based around simple workflow stuff, not quality of the software.

they do mostly the same things in for the most part completely different ways, but my question wasn't "which DAW will do different things?" it was just "which one do you like the best?".

You can produce digital audio from start to finish with it hence it is a digital audio workstation. Renoise is technically a "tracker" but also can produce digital audio from start to finish hence it's a DAW. and that's about as much as i care to argue semantics about this.

They do not work in completely different ways, completely different workflows/looks/feels yes, but by your reasoning I as an Fl user shouldnt be able to give advice to a logic user... and thats just not true, I can. Why? Because at the end of the day, spare some coloring, a compressor ratio is a compressor ratio, no matter what daw you use. So no, not doing anything in different ways. Universal science.

No. Its a midi workstation. Not an Audio one. To be a 'digital audio workstation' it would have to support the recording and processing of audio. Which it doesnt. DAW's arent just used to produce electronic music, they are also used for recording bands, film scores, ect. which reason just outright doesnt support unless you integrate Record.

IMO, lock this. we have a 'daw debate' thread already, its like 20 pages. As far as I can see, this is a repeat topic gonna bring up sensitivities.

i'm aware there are MANY other threads about which DAW people prefer, the only point of this one was to have a poll which i was not aware of any other thread having (if i am mistaken i apologize).

It's teaching me that despite my best intentions, some users still aren't as au faux with the Advanced Search as they could be.
