Meet the programmers: FabFilter
If you are luck or unlucky enough to meet a programmer in your life, you might realize how different they are from the rest of the world. Programmers aren’t using to see things that are actually tangible, and they can understand what a program or picture will look like when it is purely based on text or code. This kind of logical mind is not something that can be acquired as much as it is something you are, or aren’t born with. Programmers are gifted at what they do on many levels, not simply technical ones. When they design an app for music producers OR DJs, they not only need to think about how the program will work, but there has to be careful attention paid to how well users will interact with it. This is why iPad apps are so special. They rely on touch technology rather than a keyboard and mouse, so app developers have to work around these circumstances. DAWs like Ableton may seem complex to a first time user, but they are in fact made easy to use with their visual interfaces and intuitive navigation. The guys who build such programs are living in a world of their own. http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/meet-the-programmers-fabfilter-574996
