So I still get feedback on my “Tale of 1000 Daw’s” post. Most want to know why I tried so many different workstations and not just pick one and go with it. I’ve even tried another since writing the article but have kept with my final decision.
Here’s what it all boils down to. Workflow. I believe that since I took the time to find a DAW that fits and enhances my workflow instead of me trying to fit my workflow to a DAW, my mixes are better than they ever have been.
Is that saying that you the reader should like and use what I use. No! Try everything you can and pick what seems to enhance your work, not get in the way. That could be anything out there, what fits YOU best.
A book I’m reading talks about keeping your mind free of as many distractions as possible. Your DAW has to do that too. Does it make you think like a mixer-artist, or does it make you think like a computer programmer. Find what gets out of the way and let’s you think artistically. To me it doesn’t matter if it fits in an industry standard box. As long as I’m happy and creating great mixes for my clients, then all is good because the client is happy with the results. At the end of the day, that’s what matters because if your tools are a drag, you will not be working to your full potential.
Happy DAWing!
