The 10 Best DAWs In The World (2012 Synthtopia DAW Reader Poll)

What’s the best DAW in the world?

We asked and readers weighed in, with 10,152 votes and more than 190 comments.

Readers made clear that they are passionate about their digital audio workstation, debating the merits of polls like this as passionately as they defended their DAW of choice.

There is no ‘perfect DAW’ – because different people have different needs. And there’s no perfect way to compare them.

But the outpouring of votes and the quality of discussion suggest that, not only are today’s DAWs more powerful than ever, but that they are worth getting excited about.

Here’s how the votes stacked up……

        I think I’m too old for this. Those are all musicians who will dissapear when they’re out of fuel. I’m listening to Dance Music for about 20 years now and there are just a few artists who really are still popular.

        Hate to be the one to break it to you, but, yeah, they pretty much are… A handful of kids who’s sounds are unremarkable/interchangeable, with a few appearances and no major record label contracts are still “small league”.

Is this a late 90′s drug-funded hood-rap gangsta DAW breakdance film on a synth blog that couldn’t convince the MPAA of an “R” rating??

Make them better by being helpful. And for the record, Image-Line is doing very well, and I will “SEE WHATS UP THEN’ when you tell me how to get to ‘CALI DOG’.

    • You’re gonna need at least a MIDI tool to use Live. A computer keyboard just doesn’t cut it.
      I hear the Novation Launchpad is pretty good, and it’s made for Live. It’s pretty hard to just pick it up and go on it though, I had no idea what I was doing with the trial, lol.

      My suggestion is you pick up the Trial and DON’T REGISTER IT. That way, you can see if you like it for as long as you want. :)

    • You should definitely give Ableton Live a try and mess around with it. In my opinion it is by far the best on this list. Anyone who has a good amount of experience making music using any sort of DAW will appreciate the effort that has gone into the development of this program.

      I was using Reason for a few years before taking the step up to Ableton. Once you figure out how to use it correctly it honestly makes Reason look incredibly inferior….

      Any beginner can make a beat using Reason but it actually takes some skill and knowledge of musical composition to use Ableton.

  8. Holy crap. Most people here sound like they have never even used a DAW before. Seriously. One guy is saying one comes with more samples than another. Seriously, wtf?! Make your own loops you creatively baron losers.

    I have used and continue use Cubase 5.1, FL Studio 9 XXL, Reason 5, Live 8, and Sonar X1. A far more interesting discussion would be what VST’s people think are the best (Waves, Ozone 5 duh)…

    • Well, no use to discuss, because there are only a few who really own any expensive VSTs like the complete Waves Series (which are a “must have” in Mastering imo). Why do I spend so much money on DAWs and VSTs when many others use pirated stuff? Buy the instruments you use. That’s my opinion!

  9. I think they can be compared very easily. You can compare many things like:
    - start time (if you have many VSTs then some of them starts very slow because of VST rescan [can be turn off])
    - VST plugin management (adding, sorting by type, FL really sucks here, mixing VST instruments with effects, no sorting or gruping by manufacturer :)
    - type of arrangement (patterns, blocks, channels – here FL sucks as well because you have 1st pattern, then 2nd playlist “tracks” which are not connected to patterns until you decide (can be source of mess) nor connected to chanel mixers! and 3rd you have a mixer channels which are suprisingly connected to VST “channel” what is actually VST component. This is different approach in compare with other DAWs. Here one pattern may have many VST channels but usually you just use piano roll arrangement for one VST per pattern because you do not know at the start of building the song which VSTs/what notes will play together later. You also have 3 places where you can mute the sound – pattern channel, playlist track, mixer channel – why the hell 3 different places?
    - automation (creating, editing, arrangement of automation lines) – usually automation channels are visually connected/grouped with instrument channels but not in FL. One would say “what a freedom”, I say “what a mess”.
    - scale and chords – just for example how much time will take you to change midi arrangement from one chord into another (let’s say major to minor)? In Live you put chord component on the midi channel, set the chord type, create arrangement and if you don’t like the chord you just change the chord setup of the chord component to another. Just one click in Live. In FL? And what if you have to do it in more than one arrangement? :)

    and so on…

    Don’t take me wrong, I’m really not a hater of FL Studio that’s just my opinion regarding the fact that this DAW ended as first and I do not think that it deserves the first position. There are so many things which are useless in FL or too different/difficult in compare with other DAWs. It’s for a long discussion and I’m not a very good english native speaker/writer. :)

    The best DAW? Not exist or mix of all DAWs. Take the best parts from all of them, parts which makes things easier and you get the best DAW.

I use Propellerhead Reason 6 with Rack Extensions (mostly for Composing, Arranging, Programming), Apple Logic Pro (with additional VST Instruments via Rewire and VST’s for Mixing and Mastering) and Ableton Live for Live Play and Remixing. I don’t know FL very well, but I know, many have it. May they be happy with it. Many good stuff on Soundcloud/Beatport/etc was made in FL Studio.

  15. If you’re serious about music production I urge you to get a free subscription to TapeOP magazine. Every month they interview professional music producers and do in-depth studies on gear and such. Throughout these pages you’ll get interviews with the producers of big name recording artists like Aerosmith, Lou Reed, Elvis Costello,Corosion of Conformity, Decemberists, etc. So I have faith when they tell me something.
    Every big-name Producer I’ve read about uses Cubase and Pro Tools because it offers them everything they could ever need and also gives them the features of NON-DAW studios. Even Glenn Tipton of Judas Priest uses Pro Tools.
    What I’m trying to say is… just because the kid next door got great results with DAWs like FL Studio doesn’t mean those who have been in the business for 30+ years use it. Quite the contrary. If you want to go pro and learn how to use the best, I urge you to get professional. Professional tools=professional quality work your clients will be proud of and keep coming back to you because of that quality.

    • One has to know which DAW is better suited for the things you as a producer is trying to achieve. For recording rock and metal music live, PRO TOOLS could very well beat FL Studio, but if you are mainly electronic producer working with synths, samplers and various MIDI equipment, FL Studio could very well outperform PRO TOOLS.

      • Studio One has a relaxing and intuitive work flow. I prefer it, use it, and agree it has had an amazing rise to popularity in a short time. It deserves to be here. I suspect it will move up once additional people try it. FL Studio is good for sequencing. It is great to have for certain things but it does not suit my personal style for the most part. I find it’s work flow sort of annoying. However, it’s why we don’t all choose the same clothing. It’s a matter of personal music style, work ethic and tastes. Studio one is one of the easiest I have used. Presonus is gaining ground quickly. Congrats to them and all the winners.

  18. FL Studio is not a DAW, and should never be used as such. It is a tracker/sequencer on steroids and should be used in conjunction with PROTOOLS/Cubase/Sonar X1/Nuendo/Sequoia/Reaper …..etc…..

    Use fruityloops to create way, way “outside-the-box”, not to record live instruments, patch external signal processing etc….

    Drop your FL results into your DAW or render directly to a DAW track(s) using FL’s VST’i (rewire)

    Remember, it’s an invaluable tool……….you “need” to have it in your toolbox.

    • I think the term producers use when referring to production with a mixing console is “Out-of-the-Box”, and when producing with a DAW is referred to “In-the-Box” production. Not busting your chops, just educating you some.

  19. I think what’s common knowledge is that most of the users voting are young, home producers with limited budgets. So for $199, you can get FL vs spending $300-$1000 for other software. Ableton Live lite editions come bundled with just about anything these days. Studio One has a FREE versions. Etc.

    These kind of lists are based on user base and who is using what, not on quality of product. Not to say FL isn’t a quality product, it’s simply different for different users and styles. FL at the top of a poll doesn’t mean the pros use it or are switching to it.

    As far as I am concerned, Cubase, Nuendo, ProTools and Digital Performer make up the major production studios, recording studios and top composers.

    • Well, it depends on what kind of music you are making as different DAWs fulfill different needs. FL Studio doesn’t have live recording as its strongest point so of course a lot of professionals are not using it for recording or mixing purposes, but it is a strong and professional DAW nonetheless, especially in electronic music segement. Also, have in mind that Cubase and Pro Tools had already taken over the professional studios before FL Studio entered the market as strong contender, and it is difficult to change minds of customers about a product especially if they are sattisfied with stuff they are already using.

    What matters is that the daw you do use matches your workflow
    otherwise it will stifle creativity and vibe in your production

  21. Look, some of you get all pumped up if DAW you are using got low on the list, and I can dig that, especially because some of those buggers cost a lot. But the truth is that there is nothing wrong with any of these DAWs, and if you are good can make great music with any of them. If you cashed on Pro Tools that doesn’t make you a professional, to be a professional you have to have clients or be good in what you do, have good skills. These DAWs are different, and fulfill diferent needs, but in the end you can make quality music with any of them, you just have to know how to use them. One outperforms the other in some segments, but in other segments it can be sub-par. Nowadays we have great and cheap tools for music, more than ever in history, and still I like some of the old musicians the best, that is the sad part. The tools are better and more sophisticated than ever.

  24. I can’t believe that this is a topic for people to fight over. Use what you love and have fun with it. I started making music with a single keyboard/sequencer that nobody even heard of and achieved great results with it. Since then aka (Many years later) I now use many DAWs during the creative process. I start in Live and rewire Reason/Record and NI Maschine to get all of the sounds and tracks structured. Form there, depending on who the track is for, I will bounce everything to Logic or Protools to be mixed by my friend who is a grand engineer. Then off to mastering by another guy in another state. Point being, do what you do and don’t knock anyone else’s way. Worry about self and how to step from Jack of all trades to Master of one. I have also used FL Studio and I think it’s cool. I just don’t use a PC anymore and that’s a whole other argument! LOL! Make Music not Havoc. Peace!

  28. I work with Macs and use Ableton Live Suite 8 and Studio One, with plugins from Native Instruments and Arturia and I’m introducing iPad 2 into the early-stages workflow. I’m building up my MIDI controller collection and looking around for some hard analogue options.

    I am more creative using Live and iPad and prefer to mix and master in Studio One.

    Live 9 looks to have taken some big steps towards SOne, particularly with regard to automation.

    I have Logic Pro 9, but don’t like the interface. I have FL Studio 10 on a PC and like some its (unique) features, such as the Riff Machine. I’ve got Reason 5, but feel it’s a little too restricted and feels over-produced. but I like the rear view of the Rack, where you can go crazy with signal routing.

    So, a bit of this and a bit of that. Still working on the workflow!

Fl Studio without any Plugins ( actually like all other DAW´s) like a dry, too long taosted, piece of bread in your mouth. If I would have more time do learn everything about, for example Cubase I would deffinetly do so! But Fl studio is powerful for beginners and has a more easy interface than the others( Just my opinion) You can´t make a professional score with any those though…then you would have to buy an orchestra XD

The reason you got the top 3 is because these top 3 apps are the most free downloaded apps as of right now. Doesn’t mean any of these other apps are bad but i can tell you Sonar being 10 is no surprise, I wonder how many people actually own the software in the top 3. I think this needs to be a little more along the lines of who paid for the software, Those are the votes that should count. I see a trend in this pole and it points out to FREE FREE FREE..

  35. Hoping I can get some recommendations here. I am a keyboard player looking for a DAW that caters to keyboard players, is intuitive and easy to use, and has great audio recording capabilities. I’ve looked into several DAWs but found they were designed more for hard rock/ heavy metal and cater more to guitarists or drummers. I’ve been told to avoid Ableton, Pro Tools and Reason. Other DAWs seem to cater more to dance/ hip-hop and that’s not my genre either. These DAWs seem to be big on the MIDI side of things vs audio. I’ve had a couple people tell me to stay away from FL Studio, which I was looking into, for that reason. Now I’m looking into Reaper (which I’ve never used but is appealing), Sonar (which I have used in a studio, but had a lot of problems with lag, buffer time and freezing- I’ve also been told Reaper has probs with this as well.) Cubase was another option. I use some VSTs (Arturia, Spectrasonics, NI, Korg, 3rd party) as well as keyboards and need a DAW that can handle all that as well. Any recommendations?

    • I would use either Cubase or Sonar if you are trying to get your feet wet. The reason that sonar lags is because it’s probably on the factory latency default. I love both programs, but I’m more partial to Sonar because TO ME it gives me a better workflow. Ultimately, you have to choose what works best for you. Try going to Guitar Center or any other pro audio store and use some DAW’s in the store. Most pro shops have set ups there that you can test drive before you throw wads of cash.

      Peace on the never ending journey.

  39. I’m of the common belief that what you use is solely based on what you feel comfortable using. Personally, I construct all of my tracks in FL Studio and then export 24 bit stems to Sonar Cakewalk (X1) because I love the feel of mixing in Sonar, plus I can add extra stuff if needed because they have some awesome instruments and plug ins. Now someone else may hate that approach and thats fine. It’s about what works best for you, not me. I have clients and peers that swear by pro tools, since I don’t like the midi functions in protools I would never use it for producing by that’s MY preference. It’s all about what you like the best. There is actually no debate on the issue, it’s all digital so there is no sound difference other than the instruments but I can make the worst VSTi sound like a waves processed instrument. It’s about how you use it, not what you use. -Carry On

The learning curve is pretty steep, but once you get it, none of the others can do what Ableton can do. Just my $.02
