Everybody who records acoustic instruments (especially string instruments) or vocals knows the problem of having a great track but with some annoying noise(s) in it, such as clicks, crackles, pops, bangs etc. One thing was missing, though: a good audio-editor, especially for delicate restoration and editing purposes. Within the years, I have found the DAWs, plugins and musical programs that fit my needs. recording tracks all through with real musicians (except sometimes for the drums when live-drums are not available) - still the best procedure to make a production sound 'alive' by the way. For the recording process, I still mainly work just like in the analogue days, i.e.

I play guitars and bass, and record, mix and master Rock, Pop, Country, Folk. I don't like programs or plugins with lots of gadgets or additional features that only distract from what's essential and where you need a long time to get familiar with. Since I gradually switched to the digital world about 20 years ago, one of my priorities has always been to use programs and plugins that are as intuitive and simple as possible on the one hand, yet still without lacking nor quality nor essential features to work on a high level on the other hand. I am an old musician from the analogue days. Just a side note: Sorry if there are some grammatical mistakes, I'm quite fluent in English but it is not my native language (I am from Switzerland).
