Logic Pro.... recording is easy, the flex tool is amazing and the default plugins are awesome. the adaptive limiter and the multipressor are prolly the best features in my opinion....tracks sounds godly if you know how to use them
I use pro tools,
The reason is that every studio pro works in PT, so I'm learning as much as posible. Before I use to work on Logic, and a bit of Ableton Live, but Live is more to work with synths. Also I think pro tools is easy to edit and work with. And have great results.
Studio One
I've used cakewalk, pro tools, Cubase, Ableton Live, Logic
S1 took the best of all the DAWs I've used into one cohesive package, its streamlined, easy to use, still deep editing function. Just overall inspiring to work with. Also MIDI timing is better then most, sounds great. I can work faster in it. Lastly its available on both Mac and PC which was important for me at this point
Screen sharing to network computers hence remote access
A multitude of possibilities for integration with other displays especially with an iPad Pro and 3rd party app
The content that comes with it is phenomenal
Eqs are amazing
Compression options are great
Side chaining don't even start me!
Side chain a delay in a vocal bus with the dry vocal??? Try that out and see what happens, or synth group using the vocal to gently dip the levels of other sounds in your mix.
Midi plugins are awesome too, the chord trigger, arp and note repeat spring to mind.
Advanced settings, ability to distribute load to specific cpu cores and use virtual cores eh come on!
The list is endless.
Haven't even mentioned logic remote, network midi, or full touch control on iOS device
Well, I personnaly use Samplitude. The object editing is simply amazing, and I could not live without it. I know Protools very well, and Samp is way better, although I would like to see some features from PT added to it ! And the sound is... perfect. Mixing in this DAW makes me mix better. Period.
I use Logic. I only started using it in September (slowly learning my way round it too!) and I do enjoy it. I managed to compose a melody through there for a song I wrote and I have also gotten to grips with the keyboard notes for it so far.
