![]() ![]() There are many, many people in this industry who have spent decades building their knowledge and businesses around their skills who categorize themselves as "professional" in order to convey a level of technical skill and business conduct. I understand that using the word "professionally" may cause some irritation and frustration. I wanted to know who is using their DAW beyond the amateur level, who was using it professionally? Definition of "Professionally" So I was curious to know how people are using their DAW, and if there's a difference between various communities. I can use the same guitar as the bands I love, a pianist can play with the same tools as Beethoven, we can all pick up a microphone, load up some software and try to do the same things as our heros and idols. The fascinating thing about that situation is that, for the most part, the same tools are available to everyone. But in the music industry, this is completely normal. Plumbers don't fix taps in their spare time for enjoyment, and accountants don't meet up with friends in the evening to count numbers for the vibe. ![]() There's a huge variety of people who participate at some level within it, ranging from absolute beginners in their 60's, 5 year old children in classes, bands who play purely for social reasons, and hobbyists who just enjoy tinkering with software, all the way to true pioneers in their field, academics, people who have honed their skills over decades and earn a living from it, or even make an absolute fortune. The music industry is unlike any other I can think of. So please, don't take any of this too seriously :) Intro There are probably enormous mistakes, and yes there's probably a dozen different ways I could have done this better. This was not a scientific survey, I just wanted to see roughly how people are using their DAWs, and if that differs between different communities. ![]() I am not a scientist, pollster, mathematician or statistician. ![]()
