    No Fruty Loops!

    The sample is still pretty small but probably the most significant thing here is the demographic of the magazines readership compaires to the surveys were FL and ableton come out on top. For what its worth I just voted too.

    Intel i7 3770K @4.4GHz, 32GB RAM, 240GB SSD System disk, 2 x 2TB and 1 x 1TB (with SSD Cache) HDD. Windows 10,  Sonar Platinum. Roland Quad Capture.

    I would expect Keyboard readers to favor SONAR.  American, 1 point.  More acoustic music, another point.  More home readership as opposed to professional studios, another point.

    But good for SONAR.

    42%

    To be fair, I'm a registered user of three of them (Sonar, Studio One, Reason). But the other two are mainly on my Mac Book Pro (I use Reason more as a composing sketchpad, and Studio One as a mobile DAW) and 80% of the time my DAW work is done on Sonar. Keep it up, mah brothaz!

    Well gee there's nothing more impartial than an anonymous internet survey which is skewed by someone posting the link on a forum and encouraging everyone to go and vote.

    Say what? I see Logic, Digital Performer and Cubase laggin' behind Sonar and Reason.

    In fact, DP is nose to nose with Studio One and, actually, behind Pro Tools. Talk about deep MIDI implementation.. lol

    This thread probably has more to do w/ the results than any actual software feature. I never see mentions of such polls on Logic boards...
