Large monitor for DAWing
I am considering a new, bigger TV(?) monitor, 55" for tracking and general DAW use. Any recommendations? Something to know about burn-in and how to avoid it? Thanks!

@Michael Young Interesting point. I have a separate mixing room, not gonna place it there.
What DAW Do Y'all Use?
I am curious to find out what DAWs are being used. More importantly, does the DAW matter more than the skill put into using it? I personally use Cakewalk.

Unpopular (Audio) Opinions
Kevin McCloskey posted this in The Reverse Engineer community and it was a super interesting thread... so posting here too! Comment below with you biggest unpopular audio opinions... don't hold back 😈 I'll start with a couple: 1) Most gear preferences in the industry are baseless and random. People just follow the crowd and are easily influenced into think things sound "better". 2) Seemingly in contrast to the above... anything other than an SM57 on a snare is a waste of time. We're so used to this sound that it immediately sounds "right" to us.

We must not forget the all-time classic: DAW A sounds better than DAW B.

@Phillip Rose Why not? This is a good one!

I would make a distinction between 'perfect' and the feeling of 'it is not right'. If you feel that something is wrong, you want to understand what it is. So, what, in your opinion, is the difference between the two?

@Phillip Patterson That's not my definition of 'perfect' :) I like 'good enough' like you do. Let's say that I am working on a production and I can tell that there's something wrong with the rhythm or groove; something I can't put my finger on but it is somehow off, it does not breath. I go: "this does not work, why is that so, what is the problem?". Now: should I just ignore the problem and go ahead? I am not rabbit-holing or over-processing, I am not tweaking some individual sound to death - I am listening to the whole, and there is a problem I don't yet know how to fix. I can't continue because 'it does not work'. I call it quits and start with another one. I don't like the word 'perfect' because it does not mean anything. However, the pursuit of perfection should not be used as an excuse for laziness.
