The DAW has no sound. The important thing about choosing a DAW for your
work is to find one that you like to use. Sounds can come from anywhere,
and you can pick ones that fit the music you want to create.

As you keep saying, it's the person creating the music that's most
important, not the tools he's using.



Though the tools used may make his (or her) process of realising their
music ideas more straightforward, or less so.

FWIW when I tried Logic ( a PC version in early days) and
notwithstanding its undoubted power and complexity it had, I found the
user interface and learning-curve was the most obscure and unintuitive I
have ever come across (not having used Protools). In fact I find that
with most German software. Must be a left/right brain thing.

The other extreme, which I went with, was Vegas (for pure audio
recording - no MIDI or loop tools) which is incredibly elegant and
straightforward though now developed more as a video production tool
(still incorporating all the audio functions). And Acid for doing what I
couldn't easily in Vegas.

Have also tried Cakewalk, Cubase, Samplitude (also good), and
(increasingly) Reaper. Plus breifly played with most others.
