I use Cubase 5 as my main DAW. Its just that I got so much used to it and know my way around so that I can't imagine working in other environment. I think that one should really take time to learn the DAW software, just like a piece of gear like a stompbox pedal. I find that optimizing my recording routine is a must as for me it just kills the creativity if I have to click on 100x buttons and connect tons of cables just to record a simple lick or something.
Tried a bit Logic and Pro Tools but never clicked with it. If I had to choose alternative DAW, I would go with Reaper. It is just awesome and I used it a bit when recording on Mac. Feels simple enough to learn and yes - it is really light. The trial on it amazing as well as you can try it out in details before deciding if you'd like to buy it. Is is amazing how technology is advancing and how one can basically record music on laptop and do get "professional studio" quality results if done well (depending on what source is being recorded and how exactly  )

Reaper is a good daw for recording/tracking and mixing and is more than able to keep up with the more expensive commercial ones like Cubase/Sonar etc. They also have a good, friendly and responsive development team.
The daw that I use however is sadie and it's not a low cost option. I use the full 'sound suite' version and it's target market is professional studios and engineers. It's also the daw of choice at the BBC, which is where I first used it many years ago. If I remember correctly the version I use costs @$5000 (5 thousand dollars). In my line of work I have to know that my daw is time frame accurate and that I can trust it to produce compliant commercial redbook CDA and DDPis. So whilst the daw isn't cheap its much, much better than having work rejected by the replicators. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

I've tried Cubase, Studio One, and Reaper.
I was running a mac mini with logic on it. Which to me Reaper was the easiest to learn since it felt similar. But as others have mentioned. There are videos everywhere on the internet helping with anything you could imagine pertaining to Reaper. -------------------- Guitars:

I use reaper because you guys introduced me to it. I would like to use Studio One since I have briefly used it in the past. It was easy to use.

Hi & welcome to GMC! Currently I'm using Cubase as the main DAW. Some VSTi like SSD 3.5 for drums, Trillian for Bass, Miroslav Philarmonik for orquestal sounds and recently added NI Massive for Elektro sounds.
