True that. But it's really nothing more than MusicRadar (and CM and their dozen other web pages and mags) just trying to sell copies and get site hits. Nothing more. Slaves to the money. Scared little babies.

And that's okay, but what stinks about that whole bunch is how sissy and afraid of making any serious criticisms about anything they review. They are scared as hell to really knock the crap out of any product, because they are afraid they'll lose advert dollars. That makes them true No Accounts, No Respects in my book. What criticisms they do make, like at CM reviews, both DAWS and plugins, are always so carefully couched, like they're walking on eggshells. Note how they always say it, something like, "We did notice that the couple touted functions on this plugin don't really work well at all, but it's such a pretty plugin GUI that most users probably won't mind or maybe notice. And, after all, the volume control does work properly!" Now is that sissy talk or what? Why doesn't anybody in this business have any balls at all?

Oh, just an afterthought, but do you know who else is freaky spineless about remarks made criticising software companies?

That's why I unsubscribed from future music mag. Everything is wonderfull and get a good note, even crap products.
I remenber when MC303 came out years ago, FM wrote it was sounding as good as a TB 303 perhaps even better !
FM gets paid from companies to advertise their products, so they can't write it's crap ! They are not OBJECTIVE at all and between profits and truth...as everywhere in this (crappy) world.

Taking a poll on this topic speaks volumes about the OP and Music Radar.
...and the electron responded, "what wall?"

Simple polls won't help much, mainly because we're looking at massively complex pieces of software. An in depth comparison across all DAWs is nice... But will take some very serious and long research.

Btw, what is a Reaperite? Religious Reaper fans?

I think this poll is just a bit of fun, and maybe just a rough gauge of which DAW is most popular among the readers, but mostly a bit of fun . . . some people just don't like fun, or other people having a bit fun, life is way to serious for that :roll:

The results, for those who care: http://www.musicradar.com/tuition/tech/ ... day-238905

For those who don't care, keep posting in threads you don't care about, and keep offending the OP, because you don't care. :clap:

Thank you.
Interesting result - I wonder how much the order just reflects the market shares.
Only real surprise to me was the #1.
For those who hate to click "see the next two" again and again, the top four:
1. FL-Studio
2. Cubase Pro
3. Live
4. Logic Pro

He's already mentioned in the list above, but Deadmau5 famously contributed a version of Faxing Berlin to the FLStudio installation as a demo. It's famous as a demo because someone decided to try to release a version with a few minor edits of their own...

So where are the poll results?

The article linked says nothing about the 'rankings' being linked to the votes. Some of the ordering is rather suspect.

You gotta scroll right at the slide show up there.

I would say it reflects the Music Radar/Computer Music/whatever mag they're distributing readers share, plus a couple of votes from motivated DAW users, which were called to vote for their favorite DAW.

This "sister forum" thread may be referred here earlier, some good observations of the subject, anyway.
