does anyone use it? i've been using reaper with a lexicon omega interface, reaper keeps crashing, and the lexicon keeps giving error messages. troubleshooted, reloaded drivers, etc, no joy. hair nearly all torn out, do i have to buy pro tools or is their something else?
cheers
ps, i don't really know what i'm doing, trying to learn as i go...

I use Sonar by Cakewalk. Not sure of the price today but it must be cheaper than Pro Tools

I used to use Reason. I used to love it, I think that was with coming from a hardware background though.

I currently use Renoise, but while it's pretty powerful it has an interface (old skool tracker style) that many don't get on with.

If I was still on Windows I think I would still be using Ableton Live - brilliant concept and immensely powerful.

Caveat is that I am very much a sequencing and programming type and do VERY little live recording of audio or MIDI.

I use Logic Pro at college. It's pretty fantastic and I'd love to have a Mac so I could actually use it at home. It has loads of samples, from Steinway pianos to a Tr-808 and there's lots of room for creating your own synthesizers, which will take up large lumps of your life.

Logic audio - fantastic

Pro tools - what the industry uses

Apple have bought both copyrights so need a mac to run. IMO everything else is for bedroom dj's

Have played with both FruityLoops and Ableton Live.

FruityLoops is great for a beginner, oldskool tracker interface.
Ableton Live is breathtaking. I'm certain that 99% of its functions remained unused when I was tinkering about with it.

Reason for me, Cubase used to be good but I fell out with it a few years ago.

As someone that studied music for 4 years at uni, worked for bbc, sound recordist and engineer for several low budget films. Worked at steelworks studios, Bob Marley & Axis. Worked with many recording artists including longpigs and Gomez. Midi programmer for super furry animals.

My opinion is just my opinion
