Some friends tell me how good steinberg summing sounds compared to ableton or logic. All I can say is I've heard great sounding stuff mixed in logic and bad ones out of nuendo.
Yep, I get what you say about waves in the 2000s.
I'm mostly mixing and mastering. Mixing any genres except for extreme metal. Mastering anything that comes my way. Some recording too, but fading that lately because I prefer to work alone.
Oh and a few years back I started working on game sound design. Learning new stuff. It's like creating sampler instruments, with various conditions, parameters... and building "worlds" out of them.
