Hi! My name is Dax. I'm a musician with 10 years of experience playing instruments, 6 of which were spent making original compositions.
Hardware:
I use a Windows 11 custom PC. It's very overkill for what I do, but that means it can also game like crazy. My audio playback devices are a Sony 5.1 Home Theater speaker set, and some Airpod Pro 2s. My input devices are a cheap USB microphone from Amazon and a Novation Launchkey 49 MK2 Midi Controller. I also own an audio interface which I record some guitar, bass, and drums with.Software:
My main music software is FL Studio 25, which I interchangeably use with Ableton Live 12 Suite. My first DAW was Ableton Live 9 Lite, and I switched over to Ableton Live 11 Lite, then Ableton Live 12 Intro (my first paid software), before upgrading to the Suite version in 2025. I started using FL Studio with FL Studio 12 free trial version, and when it ended, I just went back to Ableton. In 2024, I purchased the Producer Edition of FL Studio 24, and upgraded to FL Studio 25 in 2025.
