I always say - get a demo and spend some hands on time with the program. That's the only real way to see if it is the right fit for you or not.

Great read Nathan!

I know a lot of people (including myself) can be really biased about what DAW should be used and why you should be using it. When in reality, it all comes to preference. Had no idea Reaper was such an underdog!

This seems to be a repost- I read this article when I was deciding which to choose a few months ago. In the end it came down between Reaper and FLStudio for me for reasons of price and usability (I am new to the world of sound and music). I chose FLStudio because of the lifetime free updates. Reaper is cheap and supports a certain number for free too, fyi.

Could be, but the article was published on January 31st 2011.

Definitely a pro for FL Studio. One of the few DAWs, if not the only one, to do this.

Thanks,
