Who were the random people that didn't need an introduction? Lol

[@_mickmccarthy]

The best DAW is the one that let's you make your music in a way that works for you! For me, that's FL, for others it may be something completely different! And that's cool!

[@lonnit9nnit]

Learn how to bridge.... then youll stop the stupid Daws wars..

[@lowandodor1150]

Good answer!

[@ruzco4873]

the thing about fl studio is that it is really good in a specific workflow which would be electronic beatmaking, as soon as you go into recording, using devices, live sets and mastering it isn't that good, also I can't stand the ui but that's me lol

[@_mickmccarthy]

@@ruzco4873 To be honest I've found recording super straightforward, same with mastering. On devices I just have my MIDI controllers and audio interface and haven't had any issues there. Its performance mode does seem pretty inferior compared to Ableton, but it's not something I make use of so I'm not overly fussed on that front. But I definitely see that DAWs do tend to differ quite a bit in their workflow, so it can be hard to adjust to a new one if you're used to something different. For me, FL was the first one that I properly dove deep into so I'm sure if I tried jumping to Ableton/Logic/StudioOne etc., i'd feel completely lost!

[@lonnit9nnit]

@@ruzco4873 yup definitely you..

Hi Sanjay and Dharti! Hope you guys are doing great at NAMM! Love the coverage!!! Many great products revealed at NAMM this year and great to see some of them showcased in the first part video! DAW wise, my main one is Ableton, and I'm starting to play around with Bigwig 5.1, really liking it! Can't wait to see the second one! PD: I'll have to get the DT-770 Pro X LE when they come out!! 😁

this is the first NAMM video I've liked. Great job. You made sense of all the chaos, and the DAW question was a great concurrent story line. I'm subscribing.

[@VIRALBEATS360]

Thank you for another great NAMM video! Mackie kind of surprised me, here. Nice work! After having experienced just about every DAW, Logic Pro is the best, followed by Studio One. However, I am currently using Reaper and started with FL when it was Fruityloops. They are all great, for the most part. Even Mixcraft is beginning to impress me a bit.

[@djidmusic7730]

Yeah, it was very impressive!

[@darkus_prod]

They just look so happy to Be there. Studio One We out here ❤ holy Mackie coming in hot 🔥

[@JeremyForTheWin]

As someone with ADHD, the UI of Bitwig is the most intuitive and stimulating DAW for me. The fact that the help is interactive so you can play with the elements live as you learn them is awesome. Also shout out to Serato Studio for loop based composition.

[@craigtillman5988]

Fellow ADHD person (I watch KZbin documentaries I'm producing) Ableton gives me that dopamine hit!

[@UKRglory]

You both got adhd? Me too 😱 Haha, I'm joking of course. Shit is the most over-diagnosed shit ever.

[@LucasBurnMusic]

Studio One is the best. Easiest to learn. Workflow is outstanding.

[@cefahprod]

Oh yeeeesss

[@tuneunleashed]

Underrated

[@TheBrokenCradle]

Studio One is awesome!

[@aquaticborealis4877]

I use Studio One and A bit of Bitwig. Studio One definitely easy and powerful. And top notch mixing. But Bitwig is best for synth nerds.

[@tkelong3569]

S1 Definitely has the best workflow but Reaper destroys them all in CPU efficiency. Also Reaper boDy sLams the competition in RTP-MIDI setups. Using Mio XM 12 to run 2 Win 11 PCs simultaneously using my MPD 32 as the primary transport controller and the Arturia KeyLab 61 MKII as my midi controller. Reaper allows MIDI/MMC control to run flawlessly. The other DAWS are like ‘You wanna do what now?’ 😂

[@BlueJavaTN]

Been waiting for this one - thanks Sanjay C!

[@Zuss244]

FL Studio people don't go to NAMM?

[@luthandoheshu984]

Perhaps it''s not a serious product 😂😂😂

[@dr.donath]

@@luthandoheshu984 Maybe you don't mean it either. It's not worthy of you. But who cares. I'll laugh at you when you've paid ten times for the same DAW, and I've only had to pay once. Because some people don't have a rip off business policy, but Image Line Software doesn't even operate in the US.

[@robjanssen7420]

NAMM is ultimately a place to talk and show stuff to store owners and dealers, and it costs quite a bit to get a stand there. If you’re mostly selling directly to your users (and why get it from a store when you can just order it straightaway from the website?) there is little benefit to go to there.

[@Boehmrunner1]

[@jeffarburola]

Love your content Sanjay! But I'm deeply sad for the little love REAPER gets, to me is the best DAW by far. The community behind it is just incredible, always willing to help and report issues, and most important, THE ISSUES GET FIXED! They do listen to their audience.

[@liamwass5113]

The most underrated DAW

[@Aperion65]

Abelton

[@jeffarburola]

@nicolask.5134 I started with Adobe Audition until I was unable to find solutions to my issues. Then Pro Tools until my ilok (a ridiculous feature) affected my work flow, and finally Logic, which has the most awful support section (specially when you buy new gear and you want to troubleshoot). REAPER has never had any issues with me, the support i refer to is asking the community how to automate features or how to get an old interface to work properly. Those experiences can't be had with any other DAW.

[@gcasag]

@nicolask.5134 What are the issues again? Can't remember the last time I've had an issue or crash

[@JNo-sk5mz]

Really great video, thanks for putting this together. Have not been to NAMM for years and was expecting to hear everyone talking about "AI", it was refreshing that it still seems to be for musicians 💪🏾

[@vewilli]

Interesting, more interesting, most interesting… this NAMM-report of yours and Dhartie‘s. So many new and interesting products. The Lesound booth e. g. is sth. I‘d like to have …, really, but of course many other products as well (but couldn’t afford. 😒), like Studiologic, Beyerdynamic, and many more. And I have to answer your question. Although I know you‘re the much better musician than me and you’re an Ableton user, I must say that Logic is my DAW of choice for various reasons and never ever I‘d swap it with another one although I don’t know too much of the other ones. Looking forward to further NAMM videos of yours …

[@PhearNoneGearGadgets]

Great video! Thanks for stopping to give me an interview again! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I started with Reason 2, then I switched to Ableton Live, then to Cubase. When i got a presonus audio interface with Studio One Artist, I liked it. Since then, it's my main DAW. I gotta say, Studio One as best DAW

Wow Sanjay your audio sounds AMAZING!!!!! What were you using?

[@gabepech1414]

Such an honor meeting you guys from a producer to another keep putting in the work that you do and the content you create

[@wakinglife7065]

Ableton Live because I’m used to it and it’s just easy to get around. Flexibility of session and arrangement view are awesome and also folder management. Favorite folders are great but I wish there was a few more. It’s not at all pretty but it’s functional. I usually track with Luna and then mix and in Ableton or jot down ideas quickly. Beforehand it was Reaper which was great. I’ve used Logic which is also very good and the more time you spend with a daw the better you become with it. So I don’t know if it’s the best but it works!!! Pro tools I have used but I have never become comfortable with it

[@DerekPower]

The best DAW is the one that will get you to make music you love 😉 That said, I use Cubase and WaveLab. I started with Cool Edit Pro 2/Audition. I have mad respect for Bitwig, Live, Logic, Reaper, Studio One and Waveform.

[@NeekRusher]

As far as the best DAW? The one you use. To humor the conversation. Out of all the DAWs I have used in the last 24 years. I have to say Studio One. I have been using Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Reason, Ableton Live, Digital Performer FL Studio. I started using Studio One when it was at version 3. Then I fell off of it. I came back to it around version 5. I never looked back.

[@ET2carbon]

My DAW of choice is Mixbus 32c I was a Logic Pro user a few years ago. Enjoy the rest of your time at NAMM 2024

[@Don_Kikkon]

Great vid! I started on C-LAB Notator SL on Atari STE, whilst dodging frequent sabre-toothed tiger and mammoth incursions. Today I compose/edit/capture in Ableton with RX on sample editing duty, then I mix in Logic. This affords me super efficient use of what little time humanity has left! Cubase is alright. A Tascam 80-8 half inch reel to reel with Alesis 1622 mixer and Midiverb lll did the business. Luckily the EPS16+ sounded fantastic (at any sample rate) which made up for the Midiverb.

[@PaulBoos]

Best DAW - NONE(TM) One thing that would make this vid better - place a link with the timing where you ae discussing each product. It would also be nice if the audience can hear some of what you are doing as opposed to just hearing you rave about it. I appreciate you trying to go through a lot of gear quickly, but I am more quickly 'sold' on whether something is for me by hearing it being tried out...

[@cobraofearth]

The DAW you like really depends on your genre and workflow. I tried logic, can’t stand it. For me, not supporting vsts is deal breaker, but also the interface is so minimal and sleak that it’s unusable to me. Ableton also has a weird workflow for me, and the track routing is confusing. Reaper is the best because it’s the open world daws, doesn’t force you to work a certain way. and you can essentially build your own daw with custom actions, shortcuts, and layout

[@jason3898]

I've only ever used Reaper. Do other DAWs not have that level of customization? I can't imagine life without it.
