One DAW as your only environment/instrument(s)?

[BBFG#]

Saying one would like to just put one thing on their computer to make it their music workstation and without having to add any other plug-in, which DAW would that be?

None.

I had not heard of that one and had to do a web-search. Thanks!

more for video, but if i only had one option (life or death) id go with that and the modular.

Logic.

It's not life or death, just considering the amount of time spent on keeping things up to date and of course, discussing them on forums.

That's cheating. OP clearly stated that the DAW has to be the only environment/instrument.

That's why I said "none". DAWs don't have great onboard instruments.

Some well spent time, trust me.

well, in that case! im using all my stuff!!

keeping up to date, i dont worry about it, so long as something works, i dont need the update.
caveat being of course, major updates adding new features, i may take those if i want the features.

i learned a long time ago, trying to keep up to date with everything, is pointless.
its like painting one of those bridges, where you just keep on keeping on.

I kind of agree, although I keep reading posts elsewhere that seem to disagree. That's why I posed this question. Thought it would immediately be heralded with Bitwig, Cubase, FLS, Live, Reason users TBH.

Me too, but I've been getting quite a few emails telling me the companies are planning on stopping what works now and not offering loyal customer discounts on future upgrades...
They definitely have me thinking about what needs to just let die.

I really wished that there was such a thing as a DAW with great onboard instruments, then I could save the money I spend on third party stuff.

From the DAWs I tried, I would say that Cubase had the best onboard stuff, but, it's light years behind good third party instruments.

Well, can't complain really. Acquainting yourself with what's available on the market is an essential experience IMO.
