Custom DAW

Took a stab at designing a DAW for two reasons:

1) wanted to see if I could and what challenges arose from thinking through the needs of the user in a DAW (there are a LOT)

2) Wanted to test out an idea on color in music software UI so I designed 2 versions, a dark UI scheme vs a light UI scheme. I'm curious to test out the initial reactions and biases of people towards music software when it comes to dark UI themes vs light.

3) BONUS: Wanted some extra practice with Figma! Figma's way of handling components made it super easy to customize the color scheme and within minutes I had two UI color schemes to test. NEAT-O!

Partially inspired by Salesforce's recent case study on Dashboard UI color schemes.

Next step may be to build interactions in Framer... mwahaha...
