I had been developing this list independently for a short while and I had Horner marked down as DP. I think that info was gathered from an interview with DP/30 on youtube. Will have to re-watch.

Some say Reaper, others say Logic. I use neither, so i need a logic user and/or reaper user to confirm one or the other for me please.
Hey - why can't we vote twice?
I use Ableton Live AND DP8 - can't say I would drop either of them and as far as "main" DAW, I would say both...

Some DAWS cater more to electronic genres and some have yet to be cross platform. At one time a Reason users also had a copy of Pro Tools to master their projects.
It is expected that most users on the list will use a second program such as ProTools for the final stages.
Danielo @ Fri 06 Dec said:As for certain DAWs catering to "Electronic Genres", I think that is "stereotyping" (if I can use that term without sounding harsh) - I thought the same for many years about Ableton (i.e. DJ program), but I think it has a unique workflow that does not work for all, but Daniel James (and at least one other forum member I know of) seem to do what I would consider "non-electronic work" with it.
Only one other Studio One user? I love it with a passion. I've tried Cubase, Pro Tools and Ableton Live, but the workflow in S1 is unmatched
As for the poll not being very helpful, i see your point, and i considered adding a few dotpoints for each daw to differentiate them, but that information can be found elsewhere. This poll and list is to add just that little bit more info that might not be available anywhere else yet.
According to that sos article, Autechre used DP, Logic, AND Cubase! Maybe because at the time Ableton hadnt really taken off?
Fair point. Yet i think it is also fair to say that certain programs were in fact designed with electronic music in mind, ie. "catered for". For one, electronic music (in general) is much more loop based, has a strict and obvious structure, which Ableton obviously excels at more than other DAWs. It has synth filters in the forefront and as a big feature of the software. Lack of score editor etc.
This is not to say you cant do other things with it, but it is clearly "catered for" electronic genres, and a workflow common amongst electronic musicians - at least when compared to alternatives.

Great idea for a poll!
