I'm finding a use for multiple DAWS - and kinda of overjoyed to have two - SPLAT and SONE3. I go to splat primarily for my own personal song writing, and recording say, a single artist. I'm faster, less confused - and it has more tools to construct music. I also use a MOTU 1248 interface and the quality is pretty spiffy.
I go to sone 3 for live or full group recording AND for mastering. The fit with the CS18, RM32, UC surface and Remote are the bees knees. A slight bit less quality than MOTU - but only slight. I can control monitors, start/stop. mix from many different locations. I really like the combination for performances - parts we record that can't be played live normally, are now at every performance. The exact effects too.. Just plain cool.
It could very well be that I sub optimize my knowledge retention and speed - however, for me its all about getting to the music part. I'm a writer, performer first - engineer (loosely used term) second.
Glad to have a future with whatever it will be called, formally known to me as splat. :o)
