I've searched for awhile for a DAW that I can use intuitively. FL Studio sent me to the crazy house. Then I tried Reaper. Yay! I can actually sit down, explore ideas, work in real time and produce what I see in my head. Recommended highly.

Well... FL is great for drum patterns, fast sampling and electronic music in general.
I would recommend Samplitude.

I think any DAW where you feel competent is great. You kind of can't go wrong in my opinion, just depends what flavor you like.

1 vote here for Cubase. Downvote for Pro Tools despite being an industry standard

Try Caustic. Intuitive and really easy to use, even you use it live, with or without the unlocking key, which unlocks the project save/export feature. And it's totally free, from the very beginning, on both Windows and mobile.

Sometimes limitation sprouts creativity.

BTW, I've settled on Reaper 6 as my DAW of choice.For what I'm doing, which is mixing immersive meditation environments, it's perfect.

I've used Studio One in the past,as well as Fl studio,but for me Ableton Live Suite 11 is it. I've been producing music for the last 6 years and I've tried them all at one point. Pro Tools is a pain in the ass, especially to be the industry standard. Out of all of them, Ableton Live is the best for me, which is why I bought the push 2.

Reaper excels for experimentation. The ease of routing any signal to anywhere, to modulate any knob or setting to any other source (another knob, other signal) in various ways gives loads of possibilities. It's a full-fledged DAW, but doesn't bother with fluff and crap you don't need like shiny graphics. The signal flow matrix on every track is awesome. Reaper is great.

I'm currently using FL Studio for making music and did a good job for beginners like me, but the cons, there are many features of other DAWs lacking in FL Studio. I saw someone that is pro to Ableton and amazed me in fast editing to wave audio and tempo detection in Cubase for ballad score.

Down for a while 😭

For us it's Reaper, but with mods called Ultraschall (primarily designed by and for the german speaking podcasting community) and Studiolink (adds low latency VoIP capabilities).

Both add for example a soundboard and live multitrack recordings, both locally and remote, for speakers. Remote guests don't even have to have a software installed, you can add their tracks either via a web link you provide them with, or an app.

We use that specific feature for recording sessions in audio drama production and "audio donations" live settings (https://freesound.org/forum/sample-requests/42857/)
