The Digital Audio Workstation, or “DAW” is another piece of equipment that has changed the recording world. The DAW is a computer based hardware system that offers a lot of production features such as multitrack recording, editing, midi and audio interfaces, support for plug in virtual instruments, mixdown capabilities, and much more. A great benefit of the DAW is that it is usually inexpensive! There are several items to keep in mind when picking a DAW. The first thing you would need to consider is if you have a MAC or PC. Some recording programs only work for PC and others are strickly for MAC. You can also find a program that will work for both. Make sure to also consider your needs and preferences. Another thing you need to check is if you have enough ram and if your computer is fast and powerful enough for the tasks that you are going to take on.
