Here are a few tips I’ve found that help my workflow as a sound engineer and music producer who uses many different DAWs. When making an electronic dance music or hyperpop beat, I always love to start in Ableton. It’s easy to drag in samples into the drum rack and use the warping feature to quickly adjust audio files. Sure, Logic and ProTools do the same, but it’s much faster and highly intuitive. When it comes to live instruments, such as guitar or bass, Logic is the way to go. The pedals used are just like hardware versions, and finding interesting stock software instruments (such as a Koto) makes any of your rap beats sound infinitely more worldly. Lastly, I love mixing everything in ProTools. Sometimes classic truly is the best, and even if the interfaces aren’t as clean, it’s the most broad in amount of variables to change.
