Conclusions

 

A few things really jump out from these results. They are -

 

  • Ardour is the most popular FLOSS DAW
  • Calf plugins are also really popular
  • Carla is popular in both plugin and standalone versions
  • Users are dissatisfied with the current state of MIDI sequencers
  • Users want to see more virtual instruments. Drums and symphony orchestras in particular were noted in the survey comments
