Best DAW for producing and remixing Posted on: 12.03.2013 by Marta Connoly Im a total newbie at this, so I have no clue going on.

| Emelina Chillson 14.03.2013 | grab a trial version of reason, flstudio, able ton, and cubase. spend 6 hours with each one learning the software. whichever you are more comfortable with, purchase it. its all personal preference. |
| Layne Koop 14.03.2013 | I have Sonar as a DAW, and Adobe Audition for more lightweight editing. I can use Audition on the laptop screen and be totally comfortable...but I need a LOT more pixel real estate to use Sonar effectively. Maschine is more fun to use, and easier to get started with. If I need to move into a DAW, I can export the music, or just use Maschine as a plugin. I find having hardware (it's a MIDI controller...but still a physical thing) to bang on to be much more satisfying than just using a mouse to click. |
| Annalisa Fleak 14.03.2013 | First a lot of people will fall in love with FL, but not a lot of pros use it. I know skrillex uses Ableton Live. Ableton can be a little overwhelming but after you use it for about a week or so and experiment with the program you will find its worth the price with all the features it has. For me I felt like you would have to dig deep into FL and Logic just to scratch the surface of Ableton... - Hope I helped, If you need to contact me you can at [email protected] |
| Tamisha Saraceno 13.03.2013 | I don't believe there's any DAW that 100% of people will ever agree on being the BEST. Some swear by Ableton, but I found it very confusing. When I had access to ProTools in film school, I used that for recording and mixing, but I opted to use Logic Pro once I got a MacBook Pro. Maybe I'm just really attracted to the word Pro, but so far Logic feels the most natural for me as it was a very simple transition from using GarageBand for a while. My suggestion is to try a few of the programs you always hear people mentioning, such as Logic, Ableton, FL Studio, Reason, etc., and see which one clicks best with you. If after a few songs, you still find it frustrating, try another program. Eventually, you'll find one that just seems to make sense. |
| Estella Waber 13.03.2013 | There are many pros that use FL studio too. Grab a few trial versions of what on the market and see what suits your workflow. |
| Ervin Calvery 12.03.2013 | Go for Ableton. It has a lot of functionality that make remixing efficient and clean. There are pros who use both. |
