    I was always hesitant about starting to use a DAW since I only play saxophone and a little piano. I was under the impression you had to be really good at a chordal instrument to use DAWs effectively but I guess I was wrong lol.

      It's a website called soundtrap.com. No downloads or plugins!

    Okay, so here’s the bass line I asked about in a ridiculously long comment on another video off yours. Now I get to experiment with that and the melody separated from the other tracks.
    One question… Is mp3 the only way to save the track? Can you save it as one but separate tracks/files within? An mp3 isn’t all that useful if you’re wanting to go further with the song
    Thanks so much. I’m super glad I found your channel!

      Hi Amy! So glad you enjoyed the videos! The paid version allows you to download MIDI files of the individual tracks, but I think the free version only allows you to do MP3 or WAV files of the whole project.

    Can you do ballad songs by using this one?

      Totally! The acoustic guitar sounds kind of icky on the free version of Soundtrap, but the piano is nice and there are some good, soft synth sounds!

    I can play piano but I can’t compose tunes even if I have one in mind to my lyrics! Lol
