1. Vote/Choose (two per for those conflicted, and you can change your vote)
2. Please explain your reason. Why?
This is a pretty silly poll. Unless you're a kid living at home, or a person living in a country with deflated wages, the price of the DAW should not matter one single bit. Especially since we're talking the difference of $60-500. If there's something my $60 DAW cannot do well that I do all the time, it takes no brain power at all to figure out that repeatedly doing a task that takes 10 minutes longer per day you use the DAW over the course of say a 4 days a week use, 40 minutes x 50, 2,000 minutes over say a typical three year upgrade cycle. 100 hours lost, because you don't want to spend $440. Is your time worth $4.40 an hour?
Same answer really to using other DAWs. I like and use Reaper, the price is cool, it's a feel good thing, but it's not at all the deciding factor on using it.
If the question was, "What DAW do you currently not use that you want the features of think about using etc.?" That would make sense. I currently own 4 DAWs, and I still sometimes look at Cubase for example.
