Members TomCTC Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 Logic Pro/Mbox 2. They do exactly what I need, so I'll keep using em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ambient Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 Reaper. Free/cheap, powerful, customizable, updated on the reg. Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members imbuedblue Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 Digital Performer just because it's what I learned on. I have been using Logic recently though, and like it a lot. I don't really think any DAW is necessarily better than any others. Just pick one and learn how to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jkater Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 Reaper a/i is a gina3 echo after a soundcraft mixer but I have been using the Yahama THR10 a lot lately, even with recording the drums, the "flat" setting works great. I have an audiobox 22vsl that I haven't used yet because that's ll be for my soon to get laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mth5044 Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 There needs to be more 'MixCraft' responses in this thread. It's so good and so easy to figure out. I've used Audacity ( those were the days), Garageband, Reaper, MixCraft and Ableton, but MixCraft takes the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The EAKLE Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 Studio One 2, because it came with my audiobox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MigBuff Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 Reaper for more professional stuff, virtual amps, and effects. I use audacity for certain things, but it's not the best for full songs, as we know. Plus reaper has midi and synths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cutlunch Posted April 10, 2013 Members Share Posted April 10, 2013 repear is good option - don't have much drama with vst opening upanother option http://www.cantabilesoftware.com/ - this can do randomize for any vst and also morph any vst.......imagine using a vst synth for a pad sound and have it randomly change over time...

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Pro Tools HD on both Mac and PC. For me, of all the DAW applications I've tried / used (which includes most of them), it is the best for the type of things I need it to do, and for the way I like to work. Interfaces? I have a pair of Yamaha digital boards and a multichannel Yamaha firewire interface, a couple of HD interfaces, a couple of Mboxes, a couple of other odds and sods... plus I test and review various things, so there's no telling what may be on hand at any given moment. Right now, in that category, it's a HD Native / Avid Omni setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MesaMonster Posted April 11, 2013 Members Share Posted April 11, 2013 I am using Cubase 4 LE because it came with my interface. It is kind of what I know so I hav stuck with it I am glad because Stienberg also released Cubasis for the iPad which really rocks. I cant wait to upgrade to Cubase 7 so I can open Cubasis projects in Cubase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant wait to upgrade to Cubase 7 so I can open Cubasis projects in Cubase. I've been thinking of getting a DAW for my iPad Mini. I have Garageband on it, but Auria is really tempting, and quite impressive... but then Steinberg came out with Cubasis on the iPad, which also looks cool. Do you have it? Any complaints? The thing I've been having a lot of fun with on the iPad (besides using it as a remote / control surface for PT) is the Korg iPolysix. It's really cool - imagine two Polysix synths, a drum machine, a pair of Kaoss pads, a mixer, and a sequencer. Now imagine it for $30. It's actually on sale for half price if you hurry... https://itunes.apple.com/app/id579232173 It's a lot of fun, it sounds good, and it even supports Audiobus, so you can use it with your iPad DAW.
