The Most Unified DAW

[Stormin Norman]

Unusual no one has mentioned REAPER?

ooooooohhhhh, I see,

the most unified and consistent environments to work in

that's understandable then, carry on.

I bet you're like me in that you have love / hate (hate might be too strong a word here) relationship with it?

Pity you didn't have Reaper. I could use some tips. I agree with most of the things on that thread you linked me to too. Nice track on SoundCloud, "We Come In Peace".

There's a lot of people here very fluent in Reaper - I'm sure they'd be willing to help. I myself tried it 3 times already and it simply isn't for me. Too much flexibility and it seems to be very focused on audio, whereas I'm 95% MIDI. Maybe I'll get around in v7 or v8

BTW, thanks for your kind words

Best daw for midi is FL Studio!

Talking about consistency how about Pro Tools? Their are having consistent customer and it means they are offering consistent result the software is expected to provide.

Opinions are like #ssholes. Such a typical BS KVR thread.

My orange is better than your apple.

Feels like months since I last made a thread.... so here's one.

What DAW / DAW's have the most unified and consistent environments to work in ?

Anything that doesn't bolt on 3rd party code. Such as Ableton Live and FL Studio, which both suffer from bloat and a nonunified and inconsistent feel and operation.

bolt on 3rd party code.

such as ARA in Studio One?

Far from bolted on.

That is a totally new protocol that is a technical innovation to the DAW industry. Presonus tends to lead in this department, nice try.

Much different then buying code from a third party developer and relabel it while claiming it as your own.

Also, why start a thread if you're not willing to accept you'll get subjective opinions?

I've accepted a lot worse on forums in my 20 years on them, I'm simply contributing my opinion to the thread sooner rather than later... If everyone was reading from the same hymn sheet, then the thread would be uninteresting, so your presumption is actually the opposite of what you might think, so I otherwise appreciate your opinion even if I don't agree with all with what is said.

Christ, I'm sounding like Nicola Sturgeon lol...

Live, followed by Bitwig.

The fact both are designed to use their native instruments without opening windows because the GUI works better that way unlike all the other DAW's is a clear indication the developers have a very clear concept of how the DAW will work in use.

Macros add another layer of consistency to make adjustment faster. Drum racks are also great way to organize sample one shots.

Your thread should be titled "best unified daw other than Ableton" cause clearly nothing is even close.

I love Reaper, but... no, just no in this case.

(though I'd argue it is consistent in it's dialogues etc, doesn't feel like different devs worked on different parts like some DAWs. Though nothing really unified about it in terms of samplers, drum racks etc, pretty much a free for all usage wise).

Nope, I think, Reason is actually one of the least out of all the DAWs on the market... it's pretty much like a set of different interfaces joined together. Open up the Regroove mixer..., when you change the GUI to a dark theme does the SSL Mixer change to match... and so on, and so on... but anyway's... just throwing that out there. Having not slept since yesterday evening and with, walking and cycling this evening as well I'm pretty sleep deprived trying to keep my eyes open to watch Jaws 2 as well....going for a nap...

Last time I checked one can not create music in GUI

Reason isn't consistent. It's consistent in the back of the devices wiring aspect but not in others. Let me explain.

1) The 3 windows don't act as one. You mute or solo a rack mix channel and that mix channel is directly linked to the main mixer so they both do the same thing. The sequencer however is a separate entity.

That's a good point. It needs fixing unless it has some "higher purpose" known only to developers.

[electronic115]

Reason, when you don't use vst

you can make a spider web on the back, connecting things

in other DAWs that is almost impossible
