What is the best place to get professional feedback on Trailer cues? Do you guys have any recommendations? Could be paid or free, but preferably by someone with experience in the industry. I'm trying to get my productions to the next level, but the online communities where I posted my music before didn't give me that many points to work on. Thanks :)

As a father with a full-time day job and a full-time composer and sound designer by night, I know how challenging it can be to balance responsibilities, passions, and personal goals. Life moves fast, and sometimes it feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day. But finding balance is one of the most important parts of building a successful and fulfilling career. Remember, success doesn’t always happen in giant leaps. Sometimes it’s built through small victories, late nights, early mornings, and consistent baby steps forward. Don’t stress too much about tomorrow — focus on what you can accomplish today. Every small step adds up over time. Keep pushing forward, stay patient with yourself, and never lose that creative spark. Stay creative, my friends. Together, we will get there!

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?
