Panda Tracker is not on the list, so I can't vote for the only objectively right option. Fail.

I would be more interested in an ugliest looking DAW poll. Did anyone manage to top Ableton?

I don't think anyone ever will. They did a really great job at creating something so ugly looking.

I expect FL will win again, it won last year and that was before FL 20 came out!

Do they do a poll for 'best synth' or is that curated by them?

I voted for Reason

*edit* For a reason

i love Live's interface, and prefer it over any other DAW. Must be in the minority. It has also honestly shaped my opinion about what plugins and soft synth GUI's should look like, as well.

Yeah, really don't get why people get so upset about Live's UI. It makes it so much easier for me to work.

Same here. I used Reason in the past. Tried a few demos and settled on Live for many reasons one of those being the nice, clean uncluttered interface. FL Studio demo was the worst for me. A complete mess of a UI. Couldn't wait to get it removed from my system.

Of course ppl will vote for the DAW that is the easiest one to find "cracked", and because of that it's also the most used, and because of that it has most tutorials, and because of that it's still the most known DAW to the mass. And then it circles back to the pirating again.

Personally, I don't use Live, so I can't say anything to its benefit, but I do use Bitwig, which does have a similar interface, and I love it soooo much. Renoise has a seriously underrated and ... descriptive UI

. But if you're looking for meh UI, I'd say REAPER comes close. I love it, but sometimes it just feels clunky.

Midnight FL looks quite good IMO

I like Live and Logic GUI the most but I use Studio One mostly and wish they had better graphic designers.

I agree. The GUI is alright though. No problem to work with it, really.

Best DAW poll
