We’re all at different stages of this. Some of us have recording studios, and others don’t know how a guitar goes into a laptop. Many are in the middle, trying to figure out how to make mixes wider, reverbs deeper, and how to use compression to raise the LUFS without clipping. Rappers will seek sophisticated sounds while roots rockers will want the cleanest sounds they can get from the best mics. We all have different objectives. Hopefully this Lemmy community will help everybody, regardless the chosen path.
Thanks for putting this together. I’m a little late to the party. I have been working on moving to DAW from strictly hardware based synthesis since I don’t have room for much hardware in my life. DAW is such a different paradigm from hardware, and it seems like everyone else just gets it, while I take classes and, years later, have yet to get a track to completion. Hopefully this community can get a little more lively, and the rising tide will help everyone’s digital audio boat.
