What is a DAW?

• Soundtrap is a DAW. It stands for Digital Audio Workstation.
• A DAW is used to create and produce music.
• We will be learning how to use Soundtrap, an online DAW for digital music production. You can explore different instruments, beats, create music, and much more.
• Soundtrap also has a collaborative feature that allows you to share and work on projects with other classmates, in real time.

​

What jobs in the music industry use DAW?

• A recording engineer is a person who controls a soundboard in either a recording or live setting.
• Producers are sort of like the directors of the music world. Producers are brought on to albums to help shape the overall sound and quality of the project.
• A mixer is someone who edits the recorded musical session using an analog or digital mixing board.
• A music programmer is someone who composes music using a DAW or similar audio software.
• There are hundreds of pieces of recording equipment in the average studio, and it’s the studio technicians job to make sure it’s all functioning correctly.
• Studio owners are the ones who deal with the day to day of running a recording studio
• A mastering engineer is someone who prepares a mixed song (album or score) for distribution, such as CD, vinyl or digital release.
