What's Your Go- To DAW?

[Administrator]

I was just wondering what your "go-to" DAW is. Have you tired other DAWS and why did you go back or did you switch?

I have produced a few songs about 14 or so years ago and I was only a novice and not that good. I've actually bought myself a new gaming rig.. not to play games but to start producing again... I have  Ableton 12 and I've just found it hard after all these years. Getting use to it slowly after watching tutorials on the YouTube. I have even bought a midi keyboard
That will be delivered tomorrow so I'm committed to get my arse learning it again.

Just wondering how you guys found learning a new DAW

I was on Cubase for years but it was cracked so it was an OLD version.  eventually forked out for Fruity loops which I had always assumed was a bit of a toy but it seems to suit my needs

Yeah I also have that.. but I just find the UI messy and cluttered. I like the way Ableton is layed out.

But everyone has their own choice and opinion

i used to use fruityloops back the day made a few tracks like yourself i was a novice aswell. just thought throw a load samples and you got a tune lmao didnt realise about eq/fx etc.

got back into it about 4 year ago   but started using ableton as couldnt remember how FL works. i started with ableton trials,then upgraded aleton 11 intro and just recently upgraded to ableton 12 live(standard) I find Ableton way easier to use

How much did you pay for your rig? i have battered laptop lol its ok but started lagging when to many fx going on

I use ableton, But I know a lot of other producers that use FL Studio but ultimately it's just down to preference

I think FL UI is to messy and cluttered.. but thats just my opinion.

Been using FL studio the past 20 years. Have tried others but I always end up coming back. Once you are familiar with the shortcuts it really speeds up the workflow
