The world of creating music has changed so much through the years. \u00a0As worship leaders, sometimes it’s hard to stay current with everything in the music creation world. \u00a0So when I heard the term “DAW” for the first time, I thought I was hearing some audio engineers talking in code about some special tool only they knew about. \u00a0It was one of those conversations where you nod along acting like you know exactly what they are talking about. \u00a0The funny thing is that I had already been using a “DAW” for about a year. \u00a0So what is a DAW? \u00a0DAW stand for Digital Audio Workstation. It is music software specifically designed for recording, editing and playback of digital audio. \u00a0The first DAW was created in the 70’s by a company called SoundStream. \u00a0Now we have a variety of DAW options for recording and creating music.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
A DAW is a powerful tool that worship leaders can use to enhance their weekend services. \u00a0We have these tools so readily available to us at such a low cost that each worship leader should know at least the basics of how a DAW works. \u00a0I currently use a DAW program called Ableton live. \u00a0I believe this is the most versatile DAW. \u00a0Not only can you use this to record and create music but this program is specifically designed for live performance. \u00a0One of the industry standards that you can find in most recording studios is a software program called ProTools. Logic is another DAW that is widely used. \u00a0I recently started using Logic for recording some small projects. Many love Logic because of the sounds included in the software. \u00a0A couple other great DAW’s are Garageband, Acid, Cakewalk, Propellerhead Reason, Cubase, and PreSonus Studio One.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So what DAW do you use? \u00a0What question do you have about DAW’s?<\/div>\n
