Recording Software

Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) instrument and effects software are now present in virtually every studio in the world, and thanks to their inherent speed, functionality and affordability, music software packages have opened up the world of recording and production to anyone with a computer.

DAW's such as Ableton Live offer a wide range of features which are ideal for not only recording and mixing but also for multitrack playback for live music and DJing. While virtual instrument plugins (VST, Audio Units and AAX) offer producers and musicians access to iconic synthesizers, grand pianos, drum kits, or even whole orchestras at the fraction of the price of the real thing, practically any instrument or sound you can imagine is now available as a virtual instrument. Audio effects plugins complete your virtual studio set up. These can be anything from compressors, eq's and delays to distortions, bit crushers and analog tape emulation.

For decades the process of professionally recording a song was expensive and laborious, but thanks to computers it is now both affordable and accessible to everyone.
