Even if you were to get data direct from the manufacturers regarding how many copies of rack version they've sold, it wouldn't tell the whole story. Now many kracks are being used? How many chores languish unused on hard drives because another DAW is preferred, but they have that one for compatibility, just in case?

A more interesting poll would be, Which DAWs do you own? Which are installed? Which do you use and what percentage of the time?

It would be interesting research. But forum pools are not capable of this kind of info gathering. A well-arranged pool in google forms will be good enough.

It's fully understandable when it comes to FLS at least. It's far from logical to use.

Define "well-arranged". How do you want to get remotely enough people together for a representative result?

So, youtube subscribers:
FL Studio - 515k
Ableton Live - 390k
Reason - 174k
Studio One - 153k
Cubase - 130k
Pro Tools - 112k
Sonar (Cakewalk by BL) - 34.3k
Digital Performer - 12.8k
Traction Waveform - 12.2k

Logic Pro - no dedicated YT channel
Reaper - no dedicated YT channel
Bitwig - undefined subscribers
So, people who use FLS, Live and Reason need more help than others?

Exactly. It doesn't say anything.

The only stat that would remotely matter in terms of "popularity" is number of units sold and that information is not available for good reasons.

I don't believe for a second there are 40% more ProTools users than Live users. I would guess that there are many more Live users than ProTools users.

I mean, good questions to show real usage, owning, years of use, number of finished tracks per DAW, age of a user, etc. Will it be representative? No, it won't. Will it be interesting and fun? I think it will.

It can be somehow representative for KVR at least

Indeed. As a reminder, I lie on all polls and encourage others to do the same.

depends, not sure what information they may have on fb? but as most if not all colleges and unis use pt, then maybe a lot of students sign up for that?

no idea, only really used it for hitting on old gfs after my divorce and haven't been on there in a while.
fb i mean, telling old gfs used pt, if i did (i don't) wouldn't mean anything to any of them i don't think.

FL Studio, number one? Do you think that's right?
I'm really surprised!

It is the most pirated DAW, so could be.
