What Is A DAW? (Music Basics)

What Is A DAW? In this episode of TRACKOUT TUESDAY (Music Basics) I explain in a studio vlog what a digital audio workstation (DAW) is. #MusicProduction

It's an electronic device or application software used for recording, editing and producing audio files primarily in music production. DAWs come in a wide variety of configurations from a single software program on a laptop, to an integrated stand-alone unit, all the way to a highly complex configuration of numerous components controlled by a central computer. Regardless of configuration, modern DAWs have a central interface that allows the user to alter and mix multiple recordings and tracks into a final produced piece.

DAWs are used for the production and recording of music, songs, speech, radio, television, soundtracks, podcasts, sound effects and nearly any other situation where complex recorded audio is needed.

Just wondering why you use Garage Band and not Logic Pro X?

[xinarow]

I know that I’ve been in music production since I was 12, as I started in the summer of 2017. (I just turned 19 this past October)

Are there DAW handles and DAW hinges? I'm here to check what a DAW is, as I'm trying to figure out connecting an old MIDI keyboard or digital piano to a computer's USB. So that I can use piano tutorial software.

Hi, really helpful video. If you were starting out, had some keyboards skills (ok but nothing to shout about) and owned an iPad (so I am thinking maybe garage band here) what would be a decent ‘beginners DAW setup’? What else would I need?

[War-Ensemble]

What would be the best for techno and tech house?

[jk.d.j.]
