Digital audio workstations

A DAW is a software platform that allows you to turn your computer into a recording studio. We recommend Reaper because it's cheap and open source. We also use Garageband because it's available free with Apple devices. There are many to choose from, some extremely expensive, but you don't need spend a lot of money to get great results.
