I did audio production for about 10 years before pivoting into tech, ha! Live sound for work, but I'm also a musician so I've spent my fair share of time with Logic Pro. It's funny because I also want to dig more into synths, I've always been a guitarist and have thus far only used soft synths mostly due to not having the money to play with nicer equipment. Now that I make good money, I haven't found time to circle back to it. Very high on my wish list is a nice analog synth and maybe a physical sequencer. I find that what happens to me is the futzing around with the DAW gets between my idea and getting it recorded - I've done some solid work at getting channel strip settings and templates built out to minimize this, but at the end of the day I need some more equipment. It really is a ton of fun, though. It's as broad and deep as you want to make it, not unlike software more generally.
