While it's not my primary DAW, I use Studio One frequently. It was created by some former Steinberg employees and started out as a Cubase alternative that addressed some of basic flaws they perceived in Cubase. For example, Studio One was one of the first DAW's to adopt a single window layout. From the beginning the strength of Studio One has been the focus on workflow. If your goal to produce an album, Studio One has features that help guide the flow of getting ideas down, stitching them together into songs, and assembling those into an album. Presonus really did have the big picture in mind of what a musician does with a DAW, instead of focussing on every little feature that somebody might want. That was really refreshing when it was new. Over the years, while it is still distinctive, inevitably they've had to add some features that customers liked in competitors and vice versa, with the result IMHO that it doesn't stand out quite as much as it used to.

I understand what you're saying, but the things I have in mind aren't about midi at all. For example, the scratch pad in Studio One is great for song writing sessions where you want to experiment with song structure ideas. Or the project window is awesome for mastering multiple songs in a project, while going back and forth to the individual songs.
For a beginner, I would recommend a single window DAW like GarageBand, Tracktion, Logic, Digital Performer, or Studio One. Most of the major DAWs these days have inexpensive versions you can start with, so you can use them without making a major investment. As time goes by though, DAWs tend to become more similar as they play catch up and match the features found in the competition. Look at comping. They've all been copying each other for about five years now  .

. Garage Band is a great place to start since the new LOGIC X can look just like garage band so that you can make the transition right away. Once you feel like expanding, just turn on the advanced tools and it's like "super garage band" still a very simple interface and all the MIDI, Wave loops, VST, drums modules, synth, modules, even guitar/bass amp emulators and stomp box effects are all built int. Many producers use it by itself so that they can sit down anywhere and pull up their project on any logic station using just the built in tools. It's vastly deep in terms of what it comes with yet simple to use.. It's my favorite DAW ever, and one of the only reasons to own a Mac. If they made logic for windows I'd be running a pc and spending the extra money on guitars.|

I think my Presonus card came with some sort of limited copy. I never checked it out though. I wonder how it compares to Reaper.

IT's a very powerful daw now that it can take standard plugins. The first version was a bit limited in that it didn't like standard plugins if I remember correctly. It integrates very well with the PRESONUS hardware in particular. However, if you are doing well with Reaper, I don't think I'd suggest a switch just for giggles.
However, there is a version of PRO TOOLS, that is now FREE, called PRO TOOLS FIRST. MANY Pro studios still use Pro Tools, so being able to use it to some degree can only enhance one's ability and flexibility as a recording musician/producer. Not saying switch and give up reaper, but as it's free it's worth a download and perhaps do a few small projects with it to get familiar with the interface. I'd suggest this for everyone, PC/MAC, new to DAW, Experienced, everyone. http://www.avid.com/pro-tools-first Todd QUOTE (Caelumamittendum @ Jun 1 2017, 09:11 AM)  I think my Presonus card came with some sort of limited copy.
