It could be me :) but i swear when i use this vs other daw’s somehow it sounds better. I would think the HW ect.
would determine that, but possibly their vst’s ect. and how it processes the sound on a mix at the software level
does this. Not saying its better than other DAWS, but it you want something basic like i did, its great.

In reply to SoundPorn. Have you considered, not using either / or but using this free program IN ADDITION to other software? It provides so much functionally and could easily save you 200 bucks for a Wave-Editior or some like that. As I don't want to update my Studio One 3 - Professional atm I will probably install Prime 4 side-by-side to use some of the new features. ;)

In reply to SoundPorn. Indeed, plugin support is essential for music production nowadays. The free versions of Tracktion and Cakewalk Sonar definitely shine in that regard. Still, I tend to recommend Studio One Prime as the starting point for absolute beginners who don't have any experience with recording, mixing, or using plugins. It's just so simple to install and get started with S1 Prime that I believe it's the perfect free DAW for novice users.

In reply to Soulful Mind. Perhaps you could try contacting PreSonus asking for a free upgrade if you purchased v3 literally days before the v4 release. Might work!

In reply to Peter Johnson. I agree. Cakewalk Sonar is the top freeware pick if you need plugin support. I still recommend Studio One Prime to absolute beginners, though, if they have absolutely no experience with plugins. It's a good free program to get started with recording and mixing.

SoundBridge is another Good free DAW that worth a try.

I downloaded this last week when they released I was super excited about the unlimited tracks. I also love the interface and it’s super intuitive. However the lack of VST support makes it absolutely unusable. I have a huge library of virtual instruments that I make music with so what would somebody do with unlimited tracks and just factory sounds? That’s just dumb, honestly. They should of made it 8 or 16 tracks with vst support. Nobody wants to make music using only a stripped down version of Presence XT lol.
Cakewalk blows this out the water being able to support everything from vst3 to 32 bit and dx plugs. Reaper is killing both of them. And Traktion 7 is really good and comes free with any cheap Behringer digital product.
