What DAW do you use and why?

[DJ Teji]

I use Logic because a) it's easy to use b) I have a macbook & Logic runs well on it c) you can pay to get a year's worth of tuition on anything Apple at your local Apple store (£80 for a lesson a week for a whole year) - so naturally I chose Logic

Same reasons as above except I'm using an i-Mac, I am finding the one to one sessions at the apple store really beneficial.
Also Apple sold me Logic Pro 9 Full Retail version for just £100 on educational discount so it made sense to get it.
Finding it quite intuitive to use once you get into it loads still to learn obviously.
Haven't used any other DAW before but I'm liking Logic so far.

I want a Mac so bad. I would love to get Meta-Synth but they do not make it for PC. Glad to hear you guys like your I-Macs.

Nah, I use FL Studio predominantly as well, so I'm reppin' it with you! I'm actually scared to move to any other DAW other than FL since I'm so use to it....its ease of use really helps me lay down my ideas the second I open the DAW on my computer.

I've messed around with Pro Tools with my engineer a bit last year, and its really good for vocals...for other stuff I'm not sure since I didn't mess with it in that nature....yet.

I also have Ableton Lite 6.0 on my computer but I've barely messed with it. Hoping to get a Maschine sometime soon.

I just started learning Ableton as well....well, the Akai Lite 8.3 version anyway. I want to learn it for live performance use and DJing, but I also like messing around with it as far as recording your arrangements on the fly and playing around with it. I'm still learning it but hope to get a really good grasp of it in the next couple of months. I'm not a big fan of the piano roll though...FL Studio piano roll imo trumps it!

Ableton here. Main reasons are the abundance of native plug ins audio and midi, his quick workflow and bis session view.
Logic has some great sound generator and some great effects too. For quick audio tasks i'll suggest to give Reaper a chance, as i did with satisfaction.

Logic, there's so much left to learn still and I find it extremely powerful....and by the way I think ES2 is as great as Sylenth1 or Massive :D

Cubase. Everything's there, and it has never made me wish I had something else. It's also what I started on, so it makes sense to use the tool I know best, but it's overall structure caters to my sensibilities. When get behind ableton, or reason, I just can't down with their presentation, layout, way of doing things....
At some point I'd like to try logic though.
