[Getting started] The Best DAWs

The Best DAWs
The DAW is the heart of modern home studios. A sequencer isn't something you should buy carelessly because it impacts the way you work – the whole process, from the idea to its realization. Here is a brief introduction to the 18 best sequencers on the market, in no particular order of course.

It's the first on the list, not the first on a podium.

It's been a LONG time since I started arranging and producing music with Pro Tools. A lot of these options weren't even available back then, and I find myself wondering what I would choose if I were starting fresh today, like so many guys are. Anyway, it's nice to have this laundry list of options for those who are preparing to take the plunge - what a confusing bunch of options if you don't have someone you trust to kibitz!

Hello,
 found this post very helpful this MR. Teignos has written a very well thought out article. Im not sure if any ones aware of this but I thought I share my experiences and what has worked for me. I can speak from experience I was an amateur just a few months ago and starting up was very daunting but the software.Then I did some research online , and found a program that was really good and pretty intuitive software I became pretty decent in a few days. 
Which is most important to me for beginners is ease of use. The program that I used was actually a really good entry level software you can make samples, and it generates a solid sound.  I wasn't expecting it to be so great but it really surprised me. Works very well for my midi controller and pads.. (MPK 25) I bought it from this website here http://makemagicmusic.net/ . I used them as a beginner and still use today,anyways hope this helps someone some how. Again great article. Thanks for putting together .. INTRESTING TO SEE WHAT OTHER USE
best wishes,

World Peace.

Cubase at 2. I realy loved cubase/nuendo but they messed things up by releasing version 7.
The new mixer window is black!

Now i use mixbus by harisson consoles

It's not about what you got to use ....    but how you use what you got...

Interesting. How do you like it, and what made you choose it over other DAWs? Was it the "old-school" console vibe it has?

I like it very much.

- Routing

Not only the look and feel of the analog console but also the daw sounds like one. The way they inbeded the inserts and channels direct out is amazing.
No hard routings just one click and your input has a direct ouput and the sam for the inserts. The insert is an insert. Not for plugins but for real hardware.
Also the internal routing can be modified with a few clicks just like rewiring an analog console on a patchfield.

- Layout

The program is easy for the eyes ( colors). Every option easy to find.
Ok perhaps no rocket science but it has great support for multiple screens.
The mixer has detailed grahics while the track window is almost like the old dos kind of feel. So the didn't made it fancier than they should.

- Cost

The costs for the program is nothing compared to other daws
( which i happen to like also very much)

- Sound

The sound from the daw match perfectly by my old english analog mixer

Cool. How is it for editing? I find myself doing lots of editing while I mix, and that's why I use Pro Tools. Its editing interface (especially for audio) is without peer, in my opinion. That being said, your description of the sound quality of the Harrison software is intriguing, and I'm certainly going to give it a closer listen.

Well the audio editting is a bit different then cubase or protools but ones you get the hang of it and know the locations of the tools you are looking for it will basicly lives it's own live. If you know what i mean ;-)

It's not about what you got to use ....    but how you use what you got...

You guys rated Garage Band higher than Logic and Pro Tools? I think not.
#15
It's just a list, not a ranking. ;)

Cubase IS NOT the flagship product. That honor would go to Nuendo. For a while, Nuendo has a much better audio engine, but it was eventually shared with Cubase... But Cubase will always be the Semi- to Nuendo's Pro.
