| I use Live and Reason rewired into Cubase. Does that mean my answer is Cubase? |

| A good interface is such a subjective thing. All the good sequencers have fast interfaces if you know how to use them properly. In Sonar the interface is totally customisable, I can have as many or as few buttons, toolbars etc as i want, customise the remote, float customised toobars and so on. The piano roll tool is customisable to behave how you want it to. Also it has a fruity style step sequencer if you want it. The list goes on. I'm sure the other good DAWs are similar. |

For the polls sake i suppose so ;)
I can imagine a lot of people rewire applications to get the best of both worlds. I can imagine myself rewiring Ableton with FL Studio at some point, just havent got round to testing it yet. |

I use FL Studio. Started playing around with it a long time ago and I started liking it. Haven't really tried any other DAWs for longer than maybe a 10 minute of a trial, but FL Studio has everything I currently need so I'm completely happy with it :) (+ a lot of samples and some plugins of course..)
That's it for now at least, nobody knows what happens in the future. |

I primarily use Sonar 7, but I've also got Cubase (SL3 and Studio 4.1, which I only use occasionally for collabs). I also have FLS7, but never use it.
Sonar has an excellent and highly configurable user interface and the best workflow of any DAW I've used. It's packed with features (V-Vocal, Audio Snap [for quantizing audio]) and plugins and it works perfectly with my Virus TI. It's rock-solid on my system and has the best customer support and peer-to-peer support in the business, IMO.
The bottom line is this: I love Sonar, others hate it, but in the end it doesn't really matter. Find a DAW that works for you and make music. |

Live (choon creation) wish i could bounce in live, sounds weak and lacks orignal feel.
Logic (choons creation, mastering n bouncing downz)
Interested in cubase, but saw on cubase forums that cubase is for external hardware. Do not use it if your goin external..
Not sure how tru this is...
Vote Live or Logic? |

It's true. That's exactly the reason I jumped from Cubase to Sonar. Sonar is excellent for external synths. And, with Sonar 7, you get the ability to insert your external hardware effects (via MIDI) with automatic delay compensation, freezing, etc. |

I used fl studio for 2 yrs, then I jumped to cubase - using that for 1 year. Sadly I only made two tracks with it during that time, because life was so hectic.
I still have a hectic life, but I bought a mac mini three months ago, along with logic 8. Logic is, for me, a huge step up from cubase, in terms of interface.
Cubase is a lot more cluttered, and I simply grew tired of it. It's midi roll and tools operation are really good imo. But as of right now, logic is the winner at all aspects for me.
btw: cubase 4 color scheme = :nervous: |

keyboard shortcuts are only there to compensate for poor interface design. |
Keyboard shortcuts is something every DAW should have.

reaper has a completely tool-less piano roll and sequencer, which is by far faster and more intuitive (no need to constantly switch between draw and delete tools). trust me, cubase's interface needs a lot of work. look at a screenshot of reaper or logic 8 and you will see how good a DAW interface can be; having a docked mixer is bloody fantastic. |
Well, its a matter of opinion really. But, no i wont trust you cause i think Cubase Piano Roll is fantastic and easy to work with.
*Press ctrl-D to duplicate
*Nudge left and right using ctrl+left/right
*Move a tone up using up and down
*Move up and octave by holding shift+up/down
*Logical presets such as double speed/half speed.
U can say what you want, but of all Piano Rolls ive tried, Cubase is the easiest and most logical imo, and switching between draw tool and select tool is just easy as hell. |

Used to use Cubase on the PC, but switched to Logic in the last year after purchasing a new Mac Pro Quad Core. Best decision I ever made. I have nothing against Cubase, its a great sequencer, but Logic just works for me. Now I can't imagine trying to produce in any other DAW. The suite of built in instruments and effects are second to none, IMO both in terms of quality and versatility. You could easily produce everything you want with nothing but Logic's built in Audio Units.
Also use Ableton for putting together mixed CD's and the occasional laptop DJ set. I love Ableton for those purposes, but I could never get comfortable using it to produce tracks. It just didn't fit with my workflow. |
