Just curious how many different DAWs KVR members use regularly? Do you go back and forth between DAWs depending on the project, or do you generally stick with a particular DAW until you get tired of it and want a change? Why do you use one versus another?
Thanks!
How Many Different DAWs Do You Use?

Cubase to compose.
Reaper for final mix & master.
Could do it all in Cubase, but for audio it feels nicer to work in Reaper. I can't offer a justification for that... so I won't.

I only switch because I get tired of looking at grey. I need to stare at something blue for a while.

(edit because it doesn't apply to a couple of posts that snuck in before my post)
Oh yeah, the subject.....I "use" two. But I own 5 that I can think of. Sonar is my nemesis, FL I've owned since the stone age (but don't even have it installed) and my weaper license is good until 4.99.
I like live ok, but 9 was a let-down (I bought 8 and got the "free" update to 9) and studio one has been playing fairly nice.
Hosts suck by and large to me. They mostly get in the way of what I'd like to do. If it's not crashing, it's a bug. If it's not a bug, then it doesn't have that feature. If it has that feature, there is a bug. If it's not that, then it's crashing. I honestly have no idea how anyone ever gets anything done.

Happy to say I am officially down to one single DAW, for the first freaking time in my musical life. (Cubase 7)
I decided to just roll with it, enjoy what I like about it, and deal with the things I dislike about it. There is no perfect DAW, and if you're constantly searching for a better one, you're probably not making any music. They are all more or less capable of making magnificent music in any genre.

Only one, Cubase 7, and I still don't fully understand it, would not even bother getting another...it does everything I need it to do so far.

I'm so awesome that I have to use several of them as they are all too petty to withstand my onslaught of creativity and talent on an individual basis.
Yes, it's sarcasm.
I've only used Logic ever since v4.5 on Windows.

Ableton Live and not so often Studio One 2 (Reason to export old projects sometimes)

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

DAWs I use:
Sonar X2 (PC)
Pro Tools 10 (PC)
Live 9 (PC and MacBook)
Logic 9 (MacBook)
DAWs I own, but rarely use:
Studio One
Project5
FLS
Why so many? I like having choices and I collaborate with different people on other hosts, so it's nice to be able to easily share project files. I'm pretty fluent in all of them, except FLS, which I bought, but ended up not really liking it.
