I’m currently using Pro Tools but started in Logic. For my needs and workflow, Pro Tools just has everything I need and I’m used to it. Curious what everyone on here is using?
I use Reaper as its a cheap one time purchase (unlimited free trial too) and I find its workflow the most intuitive of any daw I have tried so far. Great online community of you get stuck too.
REAPER
Migrated from ProTools to Reaper. The feature set is fantastic, also the price. The UI is a mess, but you get used to it. I also couldn’t stand AVIDs whole licensing process anymore.
Am I really wierd for quite liking the reaper UI?
Yea I like it too
Reaper gang! I was using PreSonus Studio One for a while, but I was doing some pretty heavy MIDI I/O and it kept bugging out. Switched to Reaper and worked like a charm the first time; been using it ever since.
Reaper! It’s a lovely DAW. Switched from Logic a few years ago and I do not miss it.
Ardour (on a Mac). Lots of control and it’s open source. It continues to get better as well.
Reaper. Cheap. Constantly updated. Stable. Flexible. Capable of more than you’ll ever need to do.
Reaper user here - its cheap, minimalist, customizable and has some of the best stock plugins of any DAW I’ve ever tried. Plus, you can seamlessly use electronic music tools whilst also throwing in real world recordings (useful for one of my projects where theres both synths and live guitars, bass and vocals).
I use LMMS because i’m too broke to buy a more “professional” DAW…
But honestly, when you really learn to use it, it’s not as bad as some people would say. Getting a really good sound on this DAW is really tedious.
Pro Tools here, been using it since college because it was the biggest best option. Has everything I want to do in a way that makes sense for my needs. Especially as someone who doesn’t do much with electronic type music. Haven’t wanted to do anything that I can’t or find inconvenient so haven’t bothered seriously exploring other options.
Pro Tools for most stuff but I built an IEM rig mainly for practice that uses Reaper. It was my first time getting into Reaper and I’m really enjoying it. Things are in slightly different places but it makes sense so I’ve got few complaints.
