As Reason is constantly playing catch-up in the DAW features department, is anyone else looking to invest in another DAW? There's some really great BF promotions going on, especially with Ableton(free upgrade to 11) and Studio One 5 piquing my interest.

No option for “none”. Then you could see how many folk are sticking with Reason.

As a diehard Bitwig fanboy and user, I voted for ...Ableton Live :)

v11 really stepped up the game, with audio & MIDI take recording, comping, tempo follow, MPE, scene follow actions, new & refreshed instruments & devices, new sampled content. I mean Bitwig is a better DAW *for me* and I miss a lot of QoL features that Bitwig has and Live doesn't, but for a Reason user jump to Ableton would already be enormous. And it's much easier to find tutorials, collab oportunities, templates, sample packs, etc. for Ableton than it is for Bitwig, obviously.

PSA for anyone interested in Ableton Live: you can get a license for Live10Lite for free if you register an account at splice.com. You can expand the 8 track limit the same way you would use a Combinator for that matter in Reason, by utilizing the instrument- and drum rack feature.

Nope - Reason has more than enough for me to make amazing music - the only thing stopping me is my lack of talent, drive and imagination - not track folders...

No love for Cakewalk? Price is right! I loaded it for a while when RRP came out, just to see how the other half lives. It was fun, and informative, but ultimately I'm good with Reason.

Why is there so many nope/none replies? The Poll is in forum section for OTHER software and OP wanted to know from people thinking about purchasing other DAW, not from those not thinking about it.

How is this so hard to understand?
