I find that a lot of times it’s not so much that a DAW doesn’t make sense, it’s just a disconnect between the expectations of DAW designer and user. I’m using Nuendo and Pro Tools for post and what I’ve found is that it makes more sense to rewire my brain than to try to force them to act the same. Learning both deeply is really the only way to get far when working in them, and quickly. And that really means having to think the way ‘the DAW thinks’ because then things typically become more logical.
But sure, even then there are cases where things don’t seem logical…
