Very cool. What DAW did you end up choosing? Did you stick with the first one you tried, or did you try several before picking?

Ableton Live Suite. Started on 9, went to 10, I’m now beta testing 11. After adjusting / finding a workflow I really like it. Picked originally based on recommendations and compatibility with other members of my band. I have written Max4live plugins. Also written synths in NI Reaktor.

Had to be Win and Mac (some plaftform freedom) due to availability of highend VSTs I wanted and now have (FabFilter, Serum, Massive, etc).

I also use ChucK for some sample development programming.

Helped that I already played guitar and bass.
