I just joined. Ready to put the work in! Which DAW does everyone use? & Why do you prefer it?

So.. I learned a lot from day one here. I need to go back and do some more drum editing for one. Maybe some vocal editing for another. Also need to be more mindful of high mids when I record guitars. Bass needs heavy dynamics work. But... This is a song I wrote & have been working on. For the homework I did some clip gain work on some of the vocal track before I made the mix. Crazy how much I discovered doing this. Really looking forward to the next couple of days! Oh... and trigger warning. It's kind of dark material. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zojsatj7crp3mfntpq5gv/American-Dream-Volume-Only-Mix.wav?rlkey=vwpoilixxk3gtysv6ymwcpve1&dl=0 if you want to check out the "non-homework version"... https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/vdo3bnx2c8t5w8j0qh7hh/The-American-Dream-is-to-Bleed-Out-Release-Candidate-1.mp3?rlkey=m3toah73r4rhs3ubz50zogb3m&dl=0
