Steinberg without a doubt. They are a revelutionary company creating asio and the vst, and dont forget the new note expression, its insane.

Pretty subjective, but I choose Ableton because of the idea of session and arrangement view. It's so easy to create loops of your all ideas on the session view then put them together in the arrangement.

Not a company, but it's already received awards: Audacity

I'd go with Audacity also. Never seen a freeware company with such good support.

NI just for Maschine. Awesome to the power of Awesome, and all that squared. Komplete is the bizomb but wouldn't put them in the number one spot. Second goes to ImageLine, and we all know why. Third to Ableton for the session view.

ImageLine for sheer ease of use, NI comes second, but they lose out for not being able to spell

Probably because they retain German spelling in a lot of products? They're a German company anyway, makes sense.
Their software is amazing, but the company needs to sort out its support.

Also a +1 for mentioning Steinberg, without them a lot of this stuff wouldn't be around.

I think SPL should get mentioned as well, some top top notch software, nice to see a company that was renowned in hardware also make it big in the digital world.

Ah, I didnt know they were German, makes a lot more sense now I suppose.

Really surprised at all the votes for ImageLine. I used FL for a good while, but it seems with each release, it's just more effects, more synths, more features. Honestly, it's become a mess and they seem to show no interest in refining their product.

apples to oranges to plums, haha, as always.... but for the sake of chatting online....

EastWest for real sampled instruments
Spectrasonics for omnisphere
UAD and SoundToys for mix
NI for Maschine/Kontakt
and for home base... MOTU!

They get kickbacks from the Ubuntu project ;-)

In that order actually.

I agree, but not a first vote.

I extract my original vote.

ROGER LINN! I just kicked the 60 under my desk as I read this and was like ... hang on, I voted wrong.
