These days you need a DAW to make music but I hate screens - music has to stay an aural experience for me I hate looking at the music on screen so to speak.
I have managed over the years to get my workflow down to a single 21" Samsung monitor that I have a short cut to blank out as much as possible.
By using a range of controllers and keyboard shortcuts I have minimized “screen time” which I personally detest.
My mixes and writing has never been better … although I imagine I’m virtually alone in my attitude to screens.
