Most Popular DAW Software on the Internet
Digital Music Doctor, a creator of pro audio video tutorials released the results of its quarterly survey, the Music Software Internet Popularity Index. Image Line FL Studio has placed second and Cakewalk Sonar has placed fourth now for two quarters in a row. Apple Logic moved up to seventh place and Cakewalk Project 5 knocked Sony Acid Pro out of the top 10. The results are based on recent search engine activity.
I’m surprised that Ableton Live and Propellerhead Reason aren’t on the list; if you want to see where those two stand and more details on how DMD does this research, click here.

Lets be clear here… this is a ranking of what people have plugged into a search engine. This cannot be seen independently as a raking of the popularity of the software. Indeed it could be argued that this is an indication of people`s problems with software. As those who are having difficulty with a software sequencer turn to the internet to find out if others are also having the same problems, and have posted help or a fix. Or it could be argued that this is an indication that the people who are hitting the search engine`s are inexperienced with the software and are looking for user groups. I guess what I`m trying to expand upon is the jump in logic from the number of hits to the popularity of the software. I suggest it could mean many other things.
