When it comes to producing music at home, what is the most important thing to get right? What one piece of kit, software or treatment is going to make your tracks sing? Is it your monitor speakers? Is it that classic outboard gear? Or, is it the fact that there’s an amazing coffee shop and a Greggs just around the corner? It’s actually none of these things.
It’s all down to the DAW you choose to use. By which we mean…it’s not that either. Everyone will extoll the virtues of why DAW ‘X’ is better than DAW ‘Y’. People will argue for hours about which EQ plugin (which only works on their chosen platform) is the thing that makes or breaks a track, or that if you walked an extra 100 yards from the studio, there’s an M&S round the corner that has infinitely better sausage rolls.
