Maybe the poll is redundant, but the thread is quite useful.This poll will IMO be quite redundant. Been done before. Cubase and Reaper seem to be the most used in this forum (based by my frequenting of the site). It does not mean that other DAW's are not worthy. The best thing about 'Home Recording', is having the chance to find what works for each individual. Industry standard is the equivalent of your mom telling you how to amuse yourself....
Theoretically yes, realistically no. Factors such as audio engine code, resolution capability, vary from DAW to DAW, and this is what will affect the characteristics and quality of the audio generated from them. In short not all DAWs are created equal. ��

When and if I go for a DAW, user friendliness/ease of use will be top priority, as what I'll be doing will be pretty basic and while I want a "good" sound, it's not like I'm trying to make something to market professionally....given that, to those who have use multiple ones, which did you use and which did you feel was easiest to use (presumably including shortest learning curve for the basics)?
Their is a similar thread just started over @ GS. My DAW of choice has made neither list.
I respectfully disagree; reverb, compression, looping...these and more are also pretty basic and how easy they are to do can vary considerably from DAW to DAW from what I've read so far. Sounds like you disagree ie feel there isn't much variance-?Depending on your level of knowledge coming in, all of them have a learning curve. If you can learn how to arm tracks, mute, adjust gain, and select inputs then that will be sufficient for getting basic recording done.
In my case, not really, since it'll just be the keyboard.tracking, room, instruments, etc. play a more important role than the DAW or the interface.
? Maybe I'm misunderstanding "4 channel"....if I just have a keyboard and mic, that would be 2, wouldn't it? Or by that do you mean 2 in/2out?If you have a keyboard and want to go direct out and sing, you will need a 4 channel.
Minimal. Hence the emphasis on ease of use.ease of use will depend on your level of knowledge with recording.
