Digital Audio Workstations: Intro<\/h2>\n

Some time ago I asked you for help in writing an article about available Digital Audio Workstations<\/a>. I know that the decision which workstation would be the best at the beginning of creating music is really difficult. I didn\u2019t have an opportunity to test every Digital Audio Workstations<\/strong> commercially available so our task in the questionnaire competition was primarily an indication of the top three advantages and three disadvantages that you recognize when you work in your chosen program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Additionally, every reader who had a newsletter of the blog and took part in the questionnaire had a chance to win one of courses of this side. The winners<\/strong> are already known (once again -congratulations) but there is still a theoretical part to describe.<\/p>\n

After a careful analysis of the data collected, I found that they are really valuable \u2013 there is so many interesting thoughts and the knowledge included is so enormous that I should write a book with all information you gave me in the questionnaire. You\u2019re the real author of this article, I\u2019m just the one combined your knowledge into one.<\/p>\n

Risk of the error\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before I compare all programs, I\u2019d like you to remember that everyone have different experience with Digital Audio Workstations \u2013 there are beginners, professionals and people who don\u2019t need to use all abilities of the program. That\u2019s why we mustn\u2019t exclude differences between the questionnaire and reality. I found some wrong answers describing programs well known to me (Pro Tools<\/strong> for example) but there are also workstations unfamiliar to me, so there\u2019s still a risk that someone doesn\u2019t know about some possibilities of the program and pointed that out as serious defect. If you have found something like that in the article, please let me know in a comment.<\/p>\n

At the end of this long introduction I hardly believe that this article will help people to make the best decision for them.<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019m going to present effects of the questionnaire.<\/p>\n

A total of 22 were compared digital audio workstations. All of your Digital Audio Workstations are included, even if they were mentioned only once. Unfortunately, that article doesn\u2019t present all available programs (none of the participants told about them so I wasn\u2019t able to compare them). The most important is the fact that the majority and the most popular DAW\u2019s are mentioned.<\/p>\n

I divided all programs into categories:<\/p>\n
