Hey guys, question is to all the Audiojungle professionals. Could you advise a DAW which is stable and good for film scoring? We need a quality software providing a video playback and music composing/mixing without bugs and discomfort.
We have a PC, but you can suggest MAC software too, because many people are using it, and it would be nice to make this thread an impartial.
Thank you!
I use Presonus StudioOne 3 on Mac (there is also a version for PC) and never had any problems with it. As for me - it’s the best ratio of price and quality.
Integrated video player works stable, no any bugs.
Also it’ s very useful for composing (like some features as bounce to audio track, arranger track, useful piano-roll, etc.) and mixing (native plugins are very nice, integration with Celemony Melodyne (you must buy it separately, if need), and useful mixer with an unlimited number of inserts and sends).
By the way. Now you can download free version Of StudioOne - StudioOne Prime and use it for free (but with limited functionality of course).
Thank you very much for detailed reply! Sounds good, will definitely look closer at this software 
More suggestions guys?
Logic Pro X. I’ve scored 6 feature films on it (and/or previous versions) Does everything you will require to get the job done. Lots of in depth reviews of the software out there. Highly recommended.
Cubase pro 8 working good with video, is a nice alternative, and work perfect in mac and pc, no bugs, is very stable! I had done large number project with video
i have pro tools 11. but i think its how you are used to work with your daw…
all is nice
Yes, Cubase 8 Pro is surprisingly stable, and works really well for me.
Ableton is a breathtakingly great tool for manipulating loops and samples. It has sweet synths and effects, if you want that electronica vibe. Within a certain stylistic area, it’s the best and most enjoyable DAW I’ve ever used. The small amount of professional scoring I’ve done in the past few years has all been done in Ableton. However, as other answers point out, there are much more versatile and powerful programs out there. For composition, Logic and Digital Performer are very popular. For orchestration and score printing, people mostly use Sibelius. For recording humans playing instruments in a room, and for final mixes, Pro Tools remains the industry standard!!! For synths, there are a thousand different tools and libraries out there, like Maschine and Kontakt. There is no single program that’s ideal for every use case. Among the real top-shelf I’ve encountered, the answer seems to be “all of the above.”
I am Sonar user for many years on PC. Today it’s Sonar Platinum. Win 7 64. Very stable and friendly to work with MIDI, audio and video preview.
Cubase 8 has been nothing but nice and stable to me…
Thank’s guys! You helped a lot!
I used Logic X, Fl 11, but best scoring daw is nuedo! Really!))
I think every modern DAW can work well with video, in my case it’s Reaper - best part of it that he doesn’t bring all that standard stuff like loops/samples/libraries, because most of us using aftermarket vst, just pure DAW.
And it’s pretty useful to have portable version on flashdrive, you can work in every studio quite easy.
+1 for Ableton
Started years ago on producing EDM, and still serves me well on scoring too.
Personally, i didnt and still dont want to learn other DAW 
It’s really interesting to see what you all are using. I’m using Pro Tools 7 a super old version of Pro Tools. I agree with WolfSound.
Junkie XL did some great tutorials about his workflow with Cubase, VEPro 5 any many sound libraries. At least, watch the Intro. If you have more time, there’s a lot of info to grab. A must one is episode 10, you’ll go through the Cubase sketchbook project of an entire full length movie (with comments).
A lot of people complain about bugs with Cubase. I don’t run massive projects, but it is stable for me. The MIDI tool set is very complete and more advanced than many other DAWs.
Careful if you wanna go to 11. Not all plug ins support aax yet. I found this the hard way 
Steinberg Cubase. I was completely satisfied for these purposes.
Reaper 5 has greatly improved video support, it seems quite powerful! You can find lots of videos tutorial to see some details on new video capabilities
Still, Reaper don’t have that powerful MIDI like cubase have, like curves for midi controllers, only for VST automation, with very big projects like full orchestra scoring workaraund with ReaMIDI can be annoying. But, it’s fantastically stable, light, and configurable, and the price is a killer.
