It's a popularity contest, not a quality contest. Few have tried out and compared all the contenders. It can't possibly achieve its stated aim. Completely pointless.

Vote. Don't vote. Whatever.
Besides, popularity does count for something... Maybe not so much from an end-user perspective but from a developer/business administration perspective it may give some insight in how a quality product can be poorly marketed and brand awareness.

Either way, I've still voted for Waveform. I'm showing support.

But I'm sorry, it is not Waveform. It is nice to have Biotek and Collective which I really like, but for my daily musical live there is a different DAW at the desk.

That's cool. I still like to give Renoise a bit of action from time to time. We all have different toolsets. All good.

I showed some love for Waveform there in my vote, I have been more creative with it since recently discovering it. My other DAWS that I use are Renoise , Bitwig, Ardour, Mixbus-5 ( great for mastering ) and I dabble with LMMS from time to time. imo LMMS could have been on the list for voting too.

Mate! Mostly the same path here! Renoise, Mixbus 5, Bitwig (dabbled but not my thing) and Ardour & LMMS (again dabbled). Slightly different order though.... Renoise is my current 2nd. Actually, this is the first year where I haven't had Renoise as my first vote.

@gavindi Super choices all round, I'm presuming you are a Linux user as these are the best choices we have without hacking around in wine to get the likes of FL etc working. I'm sure you know Reaper has been ported to Linux, but IMO the learning curve is a nightmare. There's things that you can do in Renoise easily that are almost impossible in other daws too.

@jabe Good man

Every bit of publicity for Tracktion/Waveform will do no harm

I voted for the best DAW in the world - Studio One.

Shame on you lol, maybe there should be a multi platform award for the best DAW ? Us Linux users might have the disadvantage if we don't multi boot into Windows or Mac if that's even possible, and not be able to give a proper vote

A poll like this is great for name recognition, so I was happy to vote for Waveform. The higher Waveform scores, the more resources they can justify for support and development. It can be trendy to bash on it, but it's genuinely a brilliant and innovative product developed and sustained by an extremely small staff, all of whom are responsive, engaging, and eager to enrich your musical experience. For me, that's worth the vote.

I think Fruity Loops Studio always wins this poll every year or Live ?
