it's like someone who really likes studio one did the survey againa and again and again and again and again and again etc. wonder if there is anyone on the Cakewalk forums who likes studio one THAT much? 

Who remembers Richard head?
There is another guy currently on these forums that seems to be related to Richard.
 
I can understand liking SOP, or any other daw for that matter, but to be constantly posting how good said daw is seems abnormal, unhealthy, and possibly Obsessive-Compulsive.
 

Having tried out quite a few DAWs (SO3, Reaper, Samplitude X3 Pro, Mixcraft) I've got to say that Mixcraft for me was the only one I felt comfortable with from the start, and fitted in well with my existing workflow. In many cases Mixcraft was actually easier and quicker to use than SPLAT (e.g. Melodyne integration, Send and Sub-mix busses).
 
I felt I did have to get a paint program out and replace the faux wood sides of the console view with something less loud and tacky though, as it was annoying the hell out of me! I'm not usually so superficial, but I do most of my music later on in the evening, and the bright faux wood was just too loud for my tired eyes.
 
If I had to learn a new DAW from scratch I'd probably go for Reaper, followed by SO3.
 
However, none of them were SPLAT so I'm sticking with SPLAT for now... I've got my backup DAWs should I need them.

... Here is an image clipped from the graph of poll results during one of the voting patterns that made me suspicious. At the top and the bottom, you see sections of the standard voting pattern which is representative of what the pattern was usually like. Inbetween those you see an unbroken line of loads of S1 votes that come in in a short period during which the view counter on the poll forum thread hardly increases. A similar pattern occurred at the same time of day over a few days during the 12 days of polling.

I think any sensible person would become a tad suspicious when faced with these facts...

Haha. I stand corrected 35mm. Someone out there does indeed have that little in their life, and they REALLY like S1:)

That's quite hilarious. And "a tad suspicious" is currently in my pole position for Understatement Of The Year... well OK, the year is young still, but you've got a solid initial lead... 
 
Now if you'll pardon me, I'm just going to go and take half an hour of my life to artificially skew the results of a literally meaningless poll. 

Though some find your efforts to be pointless, I for one did find the poll and its inaccurate unscientific results worthwhile. If for no other reason than to feed my own curiosity. The results don't need to be spot on hyper accurate to get a feel for what others are choosing. Thanks for posting.

Thanks. I basically did it for people like us who are curious and don't need OCD levels of accuracy to fulfill our curiosity. It does amaze me though that there is obviously someone here who is such a Studio One fanboy that they felt they had to f*ck with the results. I know there are a few people around here who know nothing about music or how to produce it but like to buy the software so they can pretend, so I can only assume it was one of them otherwise they would have been too busy making music than to waste their time rigging a silly little poll.
 
I do think though if the poll and this thread prove anything, it's that all the fanboys went for Studio One. That's not to say that everyone who went for Studio One is a fanboy! I have Studio One. It's not my main DAW but I find it interesting and really think it's going to be something special in the future. The fact that their forum might be full of fanboys kind of puts me off like it does with Apple. If the results are adjusted to account for the fanboy rigging, they prove that Cubase and Studio One are the most popular choices with Studio One maybe having the edge. But the majority of people didn't go for Studio One or Cubase. They stayed with Sonar or went with another DAW or didn't vote. So the whole poll and the effort someone went to rig it was all a completely pointless waste of time ;) While the poll was running I was busy producing music in Sonar (mixing and exporting stems only), Studio One, Samplitude and if I'm honest I did something unspeakable in FLStudio too. It saddens me that during that time someone was spending their musical time rigging the vote. Someone earlier mentioned 'obsessive compulsive'. Having lived with someone with OCD that kind of behavior fits the rigging pretty well!

what the poll proved beyond question is that at least one presonus studio one fanboy is a total muppet :)

Hmm I suggest Muppet fanboy survey across DAWs to build a more accurate picture.

Actually I'd almost pay money to see it happening.

good! go away and do it to make yourself useful. chop chop!

It's time to get things started?
Why don't you get things started...

Hmm familiar...

Ok here it is.

NEW SURVEY!
