I started out decades ago using tape machines: 2-track, then 4, then 8, and eventually 16 tracks. At 16 tracks, I used digital tape for a higher quality sound. Digital proved less noise and better bandwidth.
Since late 2009, I've been using Studio One, now on version 7.2. It allows me virtually unlimited tracks, buses, effects, etc. The main limitation is that the mixing board is on one of my 32" monitors, which means I can see around 16 tracks at any one time.
Like all DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations), Studio One has evolved every year. But more importantly, I've evolved as well. Each year, I get better equipment and learn better methodologies for recording, mixing, and mastering.
When you're using software instead of hardware, there's a different set of skills needed for product quality recording.
The bottom line is: Never stop listening to what others are doing and learning how to be better yourself.
