What’s the most frustrating part of your DAW workflow right now?
Not talking about creativity or inspiration — strictly workflow.
Things like:
- setup friction
- speed of turning ideas into tracks
- arranging vs generating ideas
- mixing / iteration
- jumping between tools
- AI tools not fitting into real projects
DAWs keep getting more powerful, but for a lot of people they don’t feel faster or easier to actually finish music.
Curious:
- What slows you down the most in your current setup?
- At what point do you usually abandon a project?
- If you could remove one workflow pain, what would it be?
Looking for real experiences from people who open their editor regularly.
