Digital Performer on a Mac
great for scoring to video!

I really don't like Pro Tools for midi sequencing that much. I only wish there would be better third party plug-in support for DP. For instance, the Vienna Symphonic Library only works with Logic or Giga, and not with Mach Five (motu's virtual sampler)

You guys probably wont believe this, but I cross platform several different platforms. I work with solo artists alot so i track in pro tools rough bounce the tracks and dump them in acid 4.0 then i mix in ear candy synced to the tempo then i dump the tracks out individually back into pro tools and output all my outputs to 16 tracks to a tascam dm24 and sum off of that, then i take the tracks and dump the stereo track through a 6 band compressor waves 10 band eq and attempt to project master then out to a spectrum analyzer to check and make sure i have everything right, Then i dump the project mastered tracks in cooledit to apply the fades and get the spacing of the tracks right and burn them seperatly to disk. Man im wore out just explaining it.

I definitely use Reason for production, but it's not a recording program at all, so...

My vote went to "other", I use Sound Forge for single-track recording. I do use Adobe Audition for multitrack, though, and that's basically the next version of Cool Edit.

In the group I work with we use Reason2.5 for production, and Sonar 3 Producer Edition for recording. Then everything gets passed to me where I master everything and I use Sound Forge 7 for that and CD Architect for putting together discs.

Samplitude on PC (off the rack but highly tweaked Compaq 2.66G)

Its a hybrid setup, really...(usually) track through a d8b, although I have some external converters as well...Mixing depends on the project - sometimes just Samp, sometimes just d8b, lots of times a mixture of both...

Just as limiting as it is having or using only one type of mic or one type of mic pre or one type of eq or dynamics, it is not as easy or that simple to expect only one DAW type or single software program.

I use a PC and a MAC and I own several PC's and one Mac. I use many different types of software. PT, Cubase, DP, ACID, Cakewalk, Fruitloops, n-track, Goldwave, Wavelab ect..

Like my outboard gear, they are just another set of tools to do my work and I use whatever it takes to get the results I am after.

I use Vegas 5 for all my tracking and mixing. In the tests I've done when it comes time to mix, edit, and tweak Vegas has no match. I also use Acid, Sound Forge, and CD Architect. (I know, I know poster boy for Sony, but I love their software.)
