I don't. It should be titled The Most Popular DAW. Usually FL Studio or Live wins it.

Voted, but having sent 25 years of my professional career trying to convince other musicians how much more more deeply functioned Sonar is compared to other DAW's only to see so many people drawn to whatever new kindergarten kid is on the block, I have all but given up caring what the rest of the world thinks!
Ok, but let's look at this for a second. This brings up an interesting discussion I've been curious about. If I'm not mistaken, Sonar has has been around longer than all of the DAWs that ranked ahead of it last year, with the exception of Cubase. How have newcomers like Ableton, Studio One, etc. managed to jump ahead of Sonar despite Sonar having a pretty good head start in the race. A lot of people like to point to the lack of a MAC version but FL Studio kind of kills that theory considering it is also PC only (they just began the alpha stage of their new MAC version recently...similar to Sonar). I've always wondered about this.

I've been using Cakewalk DAWs exclusively since 1996. I don't feel qualified to vote because I do not have any experience with the competition. I guess I've been voting with my credit card all these years.

THAT alone makes the poll a joke. If Bill can triple post here,I guess I'll vote there! Voted "No reason to get excited," The thief - he kindly spoke, "There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I we've been through that And this is not our fate So let us not talk falsely now The hour's getting late." "All Along The Watchtower" Lyrics:Bob Dylan as recorded by James Marshall Hendrix.

I haven't used any other DAW except Sonar (apart from Cubase 3 many years ago), so any 'best in the world' vote from me would be spurious.

`why don't we wait until sonar is a good DAW before we vote it's the best. Was just looking at staff view today, a few million years after complaints about it began: still awful. Just opened a PRV window for multiple tracks today, and got a controller pane with dozens of tiny tiny lanes, one per controller per midi channel. Too many of this kind of horrible design choices still, endlessly, present to call Sonar good.

Should have known you couldn't resist jumping into a positive thread to post something negative. Bet you're fun at parties.

Voted. Has to be Sonar.
Although you have to realise it's not a vote for the best DAW, it's a popularity contest. And the best DAW is the one you're used to - the one you're using.

Why don't you vote for the one you think's better than Sonar then?

Done. Like was said, there will be those people that stuff the ballot box. Maybe they will only accept one vote per (some arbitrary identifier that is still easily spoofed).

Gotta love the comments "I've used them all"
Yeah, sure you have actually used and learned 20 different DAWs. All votes by those posters should be negated.

+1 Sonar here. I haven't used them all by a long shot, but I have used Live (PC and Mac), Reason (PC and Mac), Reaper (PC), Logic (back when it was PC), Cubase (on Mac), ProMIDI (an ancient PC-based sequencer that long ago became defunct; I had it on my screaming 4.77 mHz XT machine right after I graduated from my Commodore 64), and Acid (the DAW, not the hallucinogenic controlled substance). Some of these were near instant "bad fits", others I have used much more. I have used Sonar since it was Cakewalk 3.0 for DOS. I used the other DAWs mostly to see if a paradigm shift would affect my output in supporting different compositional paradigms: it didn't really. I wasn't looking for more or even better, per se, just something to point me in a different direction.
I do find that I work much faster in Sonar. Two of the other DAWs I can work in very quickly as well, but only under certain conditions that I really largely do not prefer. Sonar just keeps getting better and better.

“Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy” is attributed to Benjamin Franklin perhaps in error, but the thought remains a worthy sentiment nonetheless.

It boggles my mind that you don't just learn a different DAW. And don't say "oh, I have all this legacy stuff." You can start on your new and wonderful DAW that automagically adapts itself to your needs, and never look back unless you have to tweak some older material. I still have ADAT tapes, old Cubase projects, Pro Tools sessions, and Master Tracks Pro MIDI files...they didn't threaten to kill me when I started using SONAR. It's also possible to transfer material among DAWs. I've taken Pro Tools projects and mixed them in SONAR, and created files in SONAR to use in Live and Traktor. And one last time...AFAIC the best place to edit multiple controllers is in Track View. It's MADE for that, the stock PRV isn't. On the plus side, I do appreciate your rock-solid consistency in being able to inject negativity and your personal agenda into just about any thread. The bottom line is this: If you don't think SONAR is the best DAW, it's YOUR responsibility to learn the one you think is best, so you can live happily ever instead of continuing the never-ending documentation of your self-flagellation in this forum. Peace out.

agree 100% on Craig's comment, personally I could do without all the negative people on the web. maybe those people try to make up for not being able to speak up during the day, at work or at home. in that case, and for a lot of other possible reasons, the negative commenting keeps that situation in place more likely than it helps. Could be completely wrong or stupid writing this post, but you could chop off my arms and I'll refuse to be negative on the web haha...oh, I couldn't type anymore then too :) KEEP VOTING PLEASE !!

agree 100% on Craig's comment, personally I could do without all the negative people on the web. Negativity per se isn't always a bad thing, there are always legitimate issues. Recognition of these is what gets them fixed. But when negativity is expressed in over-the-top "drama queen" fashion ("a few million years after complaints about it began"), and has absolutely nothing to do with the thread topic and solely involves a personal agenda that's been pushed time and time again (isn't there something about the definition of insanity involving doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results?), you realize that the person posting has nothing significant or constructive to offer. This diminishes the quality of information and the forum experience, while diminishing the poster's credibility due to the non-credible exaggeration. KEEP VOTING PLEASE !! I voted because SONAR is the best DAW for me by far (and yes, I've tried them all and have done many sessions using programs other than SONAR). Creating a scientific poll is difficult, and this ain't one of them. But hey, choosing high school prom queens wasn't scientific either, and it became a ritual anyway If they were serious about a poll, they'd have categories...e.g., Best all-around Best MIDI implementation Best audio implementation Best value Best remix/groove implementation

+4 ..... I voted as many times as I wanted, same browser, same session. Just refresh page and vote again.
Serious stuff that poll....I'm creating one for me as smartest badass in the galaxy. I'll win.
Some of the DAW mentioned I never heard about. Gotta go out more often I guess...
Point is: I used Samplitude, Protools, Reason, DP, FL and Sonar.
Sonar is the best.
