What is your favorite DAW what does it give you that helps you make music the way you want. How does it improve your workflow
No DAW bashing pls :-)
I use FL Studio 11. I've used FL Studio for at least 5 years now, and it's served me very well. I'm only a hobbyist though, so I don't need anything really fancy. The thing I love about FL Studio is the piano roll and the way the whole DAW is laid out. It makes it so much easier for me to compose music, arrange it, and mix it all in one place.
Ableton, here. I just saw you're from TX as well, we're seriously underrepresented on Hubski.
I use ProTools. The first time I recorded, the engineer used Logic and I liked it, specifically because you could bounce tracks in a sped up tempo and didn't have to wait as long. With ProTools, you have to wait in "real time". I found that more studios used ProTools and therefore it was easier to use from a communal standpoint. I find the program to be extremely intuitive and very similar to most others in the way it looks and what it can do. I'm no expert, but I enjoy using ProTools. I've got a LOT to learn but at the same time I feel confident that what I have to learn is "learnable".
Protools is the industry standard for Audio recording unless thats changed recently? + the extra power you get from dedicated hardware must be nice. I used Protools for a while in uni id like to get it back up and running again when i build my new machine.

-I don't think it has changed. I like using it but the version I have requires that I have the "dedicated hardware" present even when mixing, which is silly. I should be able to just take my laptop and some headphones to a coffee shop and work without having to lug and M-Box with me.
