New Daw which one?
View this Thread in Original format

Hi All,

If your where going for a new Daw, which one would you choose. I have Ableton just now but i don't like the GUI. So now i'm thinking of going for either cubase or sonar. I was just wondering which you would choose.

It has to have VST support....

On Pc only..

any suggestions would be appreciated.

As a former cakewalk user, I'd go for Sonar. I used Cubase too, it's damn too expensive and lacks a lot of features that sonar brings. Too bad I'm on Mac and Cakewalk won't release an osX version of sonar. I'd use it.

Try Reaper
www.reaper.fm
its CPU friendly, very easy, very logicaly setup and very good actualy. and its free. Tho it feels like ur programming in java or something its quit geeky. I sometimes do some mastering in there after made my tracks in Reason. Considered mac/logic btw? Im trying that out these days and it seems nice so far.

I "switched" from Cubase to Sonar years ago, but I stay current on both. I prefer Sonar, but they're both great DAWs. Demo both and decide which workflow you prefer. Sonar has a much better plugin bundle and better tools for EDM IMO (e.g, step sequencer, Beatscape, custom MIDI tools), is more configurable, and Cakewalk has better customer support than Steinberg could ever hope for. But, I'd say most people probably prefer Cubase's piano roll.

Cubase - best VST compatibility, easy to use
Sonar - best festures, but hard to use (GUI is horrible)
Reaper - best GUI, great workflow, terrible VST compatibility
