I'm curious how many of you guys are software engineers.

Seeing as the last time we did this we only had about 100 members, let's get an update! What DAW are you mainly using these days and what about it has captured your heart? (Last time Bitwig was the big winner...) Vote below and leave a comment below briefly explaining why you use that DAW.

I just uploaded a new video sharing my personal journey through the ups and downs of perfectionism in music production. If you guys have struggled with any of this, what has helped you? Perfectionism can feel like a trap, keeping you stuck in an endless loop of self-doubt and unfinished projects. In this video, I share my unfiltered journey from making crappy covers of Akon songs on my mothers work laptop as a teenager to achieving 70 million streams. Along the way, I faced the challenges of creative paralysis, industry pressures, and tutorial hell - but I found a way to break free and reconnect with the true spirit of music. If you’re a musician or creative who feels stuck, this is for you. Let me show you how I overcame the perfectionism that was holding me back and reclaimed my passion for making art.

Starts out as a small but driving solo guitar ostinato and evolves into a massive orchestral arrangement. Everything is played live and acoustic by me, except the upright bass by the incomparable Zach Moses Ostroff :)

Been tinkering with music for a long time. PortaStudio (early 80s), Cakewalk (early 90s), married, kids, life (2000s). Love the guitar, and love the process of making noises with computers. Now back to tinkering w/Bitwig.
