ADD: I think we are good for now. Thanks everyone! Honestly, most DAWs don't feel intuitive to me. They don't inspire me, and their layout and visuals don't support creative work. They get in the way of it. So I built my own: a DAW that feels good to look at, stays out of your way and keeps you in the flow. Here's a taste: ⚡ Hold Q, point, let go. A circular menu opens right at your cursor with every edit for what you've selected: reverse, normalize, pitch shift, fit to bars, quantize, bounce. No digging through menus. 🎹 Drag a Kontakt .nki straight into the arrangement. You get a new track named after it, with Kontakt already open and the instrument loaded. No opening Kontakt first. 🔍 Press Z. The track fills the arrangement and its full channel strip opens in the mixer: filters, EQ, gate, compressor, tape, clipper. One key. 🎬 A hits lane that counts down. Mark your hits and the next one counts down in bars, then beats, so every cue lands on the picture. ⏱ Aevum is built in. It tracks your time on every session by itself: what you worked on, on which days, which channels, where in the song and which plugins. Nothing to start or stop. 🎛 Its own effects, including Singularity, Quasar, Eclipse and more. 🤖 Jet, a built-in assistant (Ctrl+Space) that works right inside your session with Claude or Codex. Who I'm looking for: Five composers who will put it through real sessions and tell me honestly what breaks, what's missing and what feels wrong. Windows only for now. Send me a PM.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Ken Stavis. I am from Bloomfield, Connecticut. I am a church musician - keyboard player - piano, Hammond organist - drummer who started out guitar. I am looking to get music into television, film and advertising. Before that what people didn’t know about me was/is that I love to watch and listen to humorous commercials on television and radio. Never thought about the music until I got into Sync Licensing.

Dear TMT Inteactive members, next video has been released, check the classroom! Sorry for the delay but this one is over 70 mins long. Lots of material and hopefull helpful footage.

I've personally tried to learn Ableton over the past year and I find it as unintuitive as any piece of software I've ever used. I play live as well as craft midi. What DAWs have you had success with?
