What DAW do you use and why? I use QTractor. I like the fact that you can de-activate a lot of the interface elements so it looks less intimidating. You can also choose to have elements in a separate window or integrated. It has it's own Jack window, so no QJackctl needed. It's stable because it's Linux native. For me the following things are important in a DAW:
- VST2 32 bit support because there are so many fun ones made with SynthEdit.
- VST3 support because they work better than VST2.
- Support for LV2 and LADSPA.
- Support for (direct) live audio recording: LMMS is not for me because of this.
In the Poll I've put the DAW's that I think are used the most and run in Linux nativly or via Wine. If your favorite isn't in there I apologize on beforehand: one may only include 10 items in a poll.
[edit] Swapped Ableton for Reason because the former seems mere popular.
