What DAWs Are You Using Nowadays?

[VOODOO U]

So lessie, the ones which haven't been mentioned yet are:

1. Brain Modular's Usine Hollyhock and I'm willing to bet the reason it hasn't been mentioned is because the name is too damn long. Christ can those idiots over there come up with one simple name? They should just stick with the name Usine.

2. Plogue Bidule. Which hasn't changed much in the last 600 years it's been around. What's up with these french programmers? Ils sont très paresseux.

3.Energy XT. Obviously because even a calculator is more of a DAW than this thing.

4. Mulab. Too half baked in practically everything. It's got the right mind set for features but not implemented as anything useful.

5. Rebirth. Way more of a DAW than Reason.

6 Renoise. What's with all these apps starting with RE?? REnoise, REason, REaper.......
I suppose Renoise is not a full fledged DAW without audio tracks. Still love it and use it.

7. Pro Tools. Once a game player now dead in the water. Only morons use Pro Tools.

8. Sequoia/Samplitude. Heavily underrated apps.

9.Luna. I have no idea what it is but it can't be anything special if there's not much discussion about it. Use Analog Obsession plugs if you want analog sounding tracks.

10. Waveform/Traktion. What's there to say really? Whatever.

i mentioned all of those, on page one. under "all the daws".

Worthless threads grow like this, and the arguments are sublime. Pretty much pure noise.

The OP is a long-time Cubase user, and has not specified any needs. Orchestral music? EDM. Country? The blues? Live recording or in-the-box bedroom producer never recording live instruments?

What you're trying to accomplish has a lot of bearing on the tools you might want to use.

Worthless threads

Pretty much pure noise.

Welcome to KVR.

Home where the majority are frustrated, unsigned instrument wanking musicians who demand to be taken serious.
Home where everynody else is an idiot because god forbid they have an opinion.
Home where you're wrong if you disagree.
Home where if you have a question it's automatically given that it a stupid question.
Home where Reaper.

Which Daw (s) do you use?

Rebirth. Way more of a DAW than Reason.

Hmmmm... something smells fishy here

I see what you mean. I agree. Also, as a long term EnergyXT user, I *KNOW* that EnergyXT can do more than a calculator. Wierd comments. I still compose on EnergyXT sometimes. The only downside to it for me is only that it's main designer partially abandoned it to do EXT64 instead. But anyways, yes, does seem fishy--thanks for pointing that out.

7. Pro Tools. Once a game player now dead in the water. Only morons use Pro Tools.

Morons like Alan Meyerson, Serban Ghenea. Jaycen Joshua and countless others with similar caliber you mean? lol

[eLawnMust]

Rebirth is pretty cool if it were not then propellerhead would not have made all that cash on it... Just because it's 'old' doesn't mean shit it's hundreds of times more efficient than any DAW nowadays, can you run present ableton-cubase on windows 98 with 64 MB RAM?... Such DAWs would've been JUNK back then because nobody could run them...

Shit I guess I should throw my '71 Fender Jazz Bass in the trash, forgot it is just 'too old'...

Though like nowadays many were making some garbage on Rebirth some were quite ingenious on composition in it, kudos, kudos...

Still going strong for many-

Hell I use Massiva which is older than EnergyXT-

Made this for a friend recently-



Much coolness in the retro...

Best sounding old 'GrooveBox' (Just ask Osiris)...

[JoseC.]

I came from decades of Cakewalk/Sonar. I really like it but the new rental only terms aren’t worth it.

Same here. I was ready for a license, but not for yearly subscription only. I am in Ableton Live Suite 12.1 and I keep Cakewalk by Bandlab for the old projects.

Which Daw (s) do you use?

The ones i already mentioned had you read the thread in its entirety.

I suppose Renoise is not a full fledged DAW without audio tracks.

Rebirth. Way more of a DAW than Reason.

Hmmmm... something smells fishy here

Aren't you the same guy who called me clueless for having an opinion that certain synths sound "flat" simply because I never built an analog hardware synth??
Aren't you the same guy who says a DAW is not a "composer" oriented DAW simply because it doesn't suit your workflow?
Aren't you the same guy who says Reaper doesn't have a native arrangement system simply because it's not on par with preferences you like from other DAWs?
Aren't you the same guy who undermines my ability to find a suitable workflow within Reaper because I didnt use the DAW FIFTEEN f**king YEARS AGO???
*ahem*....apologies. I got a little dramatic there.
Aren't you the same guy who said you were DONE with me???????? AFTER ALL WE'VE BEEN THROUGH!!! How could you!!! *sob*
Oops I'm being all drama like again. f**king what the hell did I put in this orange juice besides vodka?? Weird.
Aren't you the same guy who says Renoise has dedicated audio tracks? WELL I SURE AS HELL WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU PROVE IT BUDDY.

BTW Reburp isn't a DAW. It's called sarcasm. But i get it. You are a *serious* analog synth builder and I *must* be sssseriousss. Now if you'll exsssscuse me....I'm gonna go pee pee this OJ.

I *KNOW* that EnergyXT can do more than a calculator

Can EnergyXT do trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent), logarithms, exponentials, statistics, fractions, and other science oriented calculations? No it cannot. I win, you lose.

Morons like Alan Meyerson, Serban Ghenea. Jaycen Joshua and countless others with similar caliber you mean? lol

Meyerson is a moron for not producing Dune part 2.
Serban was nominated for a grammy 45 times and only won 21 times???? Moron.
Jaycen Joshua...produced Mary J Blige...yes yes, very good. Love me some MJB. He has produced Beck. Well ok, I stop at Mellow Gold but regardless it's pretty much guaranteed some fun producing Beck. He has produced Rosalia. I have no idea who Rosalia is and that makes him a moron for producing someone I never heard of.

Shit I guess I should throw my '71 Fender Jazz Bass in the trash, forgot it is just 'too old'...

Yeah. You should. Get a P Bass. It's beefy on all four strings as opposed to just the E string.

You just proved you are an idiot. I didn't say Renoise has audio tracks, YOU INSINUATED that Rebirth has them, by first saying Renoise isn't a full fledged DAW because it lacks audio tracks, while stating that ReBirth is a better DAW than Reason. But ReBirth also doesn't have audio tracks, while Reason does.

You didn't see the flaw in your own reasoning, even while it was pointed out to you

BTW Reburp isn't a DAW. It's called sarcasm.

Sure

[VOODOO U]

You just proved you are an idiot. I didn't say Renoise has audio tracks, YOU INSINUATED that Rebirth has them

Oh goodness me did I do that?
You..................took me literal.
Doesn't hurt to go to a pub and grab a few barrels and mingle. Heck you don't even have to go to a pub; you can go to a store and just find someone to compliment.
That is exactly what I have done and now i am the proud parent of 56 children with 27 different wives.

[crimsonwarlock]

bla bla bla bla....

Enough of this BS, you made it to my block list.

So Reason 13, good or bad? I am reading mixed opinions online. Mainly, the negative views are about the browser.
