That is what a friend used to say.
But I've recently switched from Protools to Logic Pro X, when Protools raised their prices. There has been a learning curve, and I am not an expert in logic yet, but I am finding it much easier to do the things that I normally do and I can get a first cut of a new song recorded and sounding ok in a day at home at a leisurely pace.

I love the drummer in logic. As a non-drumming guitarist, it really is easy to use and get good results with.

Also, Apple support for Logic is excellent. Last I tried, Protools support was non-existent.

You’ll get lots of different answers as the best DAW Will always be the one the end user uses…

And oddly people will defend their choice like it’s some kind of religion…

Just try them all and pick one that suits your workflow…

Well, there are no better DAW's. They all are different. It depends on the user

The best one is the one I am using

Seriously that is almost an impossible question to answer for someone else BECAUSE everybody has different cognitive abilities SO different DAW workflows organization and nomenclature will strike everybody differently as far as more or less intuitive
Also you might indicate what kind of recording you actually do
All audio
All midi
Primarily audio with maybe some midi
Primarily midi with maybe som audio etc.etc.etc.

I will mention only the ones I use or have used .

For me primarily Audio with some midi ::

Pro tools is the most intuitive in setup, recording, and editing audio, and contrary to popular opinion is also fairly intuitive for basic midi recording and editing .
And the good news is you can try a free BUT limited version called "Pro Tools Intro" to see how you get on with it .

I personally found Reaper to very cumbersome and unintuitive and the GUI to be antiquated in looks and feel . But it is very processor efficient and many users love it and view it's user customizable features as a real bonus ..


Studio One is fairly advanced in drag and drop features and is a very popular DAW

Logic is a stalwart and a very popular Mac users DAW choice

Reason is very effects oriented which are highly customizable but it's audio editing is cumbersome IMO .

Not to beat a dead horse but....


Logic + these new M1 macs is pretty freaking incredible. The performance and minuscule latency is astounding.
