The Hazards Of Using DAWs 2020-02-05T11:53:45+00:00 Whilst there are many psychological benefits in using DAW's, there is the old adage of 'too much of a good thing, has a flip side. It's rarely ever talked about and with DAWs and the manuals long diminished into virtual reality of a computer screen, the likelihood is that users and particularly young people never read them. Have they and do they even mention the cautions one should take whilst using DAWs...I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure I read Propellerheads manual back to front when I got it back in 2001...The good old days of reading paper.... One of the obvious one's is the sound level and the duration in which you listen to your music, during and after.. You'll know that feeling inside your head like you've been catapulted out into outer space and brought back to earth, in a temporary state of death.. I mean deaf. . Pretty much the same as coming out from a loud night club or stadium without ear protection... If you thought it stopped at your ears... well...no as the colour of the DAW can affect your own bio clock and sleep pattern. Blue light will keep you awake whilst orange light (not neon glow orange) will naturally do the opposite..So if you're using a DAW in a dark or dimly lit room, then consider using orange hues. Obviously this would be ineffective if flashing the web up..but you get the idea.... The bio clock of our bodies exists in many places, not just our brain but also places such as our heart. Pretty much every living thing on this planet has a body clock including that of a humble fly.. It's all related to the cycle of the cells and how they regenerate. For those who are blind, some people will be able still to recognise when it's dark and light for other people who are blind, they may not have any sense of time either due to severed nerves from an injury and find life even more difficult because light plays such an important part of our bio clock. Beyond our ears and eyes.. there are other aspects in where using DAWs.. can have adverse effects on one's body...

I thought it was blue light made you go blind (and grow hair on your palms).
