- Learn how to create VSTs (Virtual Instruments Without Code): neomoon.one/nocode-vst/ - In this tutorial we're going look at the 8 best DAWs of 2024.
A DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) is a software program that allows musicians and sound designers to produce their tracks. Within a DAW, musicians and producers can record, process, mix and master audio. DAWs are incredibly powerful creative tools that allow musicians, producers and sound designers to create beautiful compositions. So in this tutorial, I've decided to round up the best 8 DAWS of 2024. I've included by free DAWS as well as Paid DAWs in this list to give a wide range of options for different budgets.

Thanks for the suggestions @Djsiya27 :)
Back when I was recording my old band in the mid 2000s I had the most obnoxious and circuitous method of recording. I liked certain interface feels, and Sony Sound Forge was one I liked. I used FL Studio to program our drums and keyboards, and you could only output at 16bit OR 32 bit at that time. So I would output to a 32 bit wav. Slap that puppy into Sound Forge where I had a script to dither it down to 24 bits, and then I would import it into Sony Vegas and use that as a multitrack DAW for audio only and it worked, if gave me everything I needed, I didn't have to learn to use FL as a VST, anything like that. I was stubborn and set in my ways and that was my workflow. Insane, I know haha.
Bitwig is my DAW of choice. I had Ableton Live for years, but never felt very comfortable with it (I hated using TAB to switch between the two workscreens for example). Coming from the old Project 5 (long discontinued already), I felt immediately at home with Bitwig. Long story short, I fianally sold Ableton Live and use Bitwig now in stead. To be fair, for some tasks I use Cubase, that I already own for many, many years. But Bitwig let me experiment and create, so this is my main DAW.
Studio one?
Also a very interesting DAW :)
a piece of crap literally
Bandlab Cakewalk!
Thanks for the suggestion @lubos.8827!
I'm learning how to use Reaper. I'm blind and there's a blind comunity for it.
If I learn Mac again I could also learn Logic.
Pro Tules is I know the Studio standard but well on PC at least we the blind lost access to it ages and ages ago. Don't know about Mac.
I know of Cubase cause it comes with the H recorders of Zoom. Does something like Soney's SoundForge count as a DAW? IF not what is stuff like that called?
Thanks for your comment @MrHamit64. We appreciate it :)
I love Reason and cubase, but if I had start all over again it will be Reaper 1st and Abletone 2nd
Thanks for your comment @jamludentertainment :) We appreciate you providing your suggestions for others watching this video.
Can i use them for Live karaoke ? LMMS
Reaper and Studio One❤❤❤
Thanks for helping us add to the list!
No Studio One?
Thanks for your comment and suggestion :)
Buy the Steinberg IXO22 audio interface and get CUBASE AI for free. If you're new to all this like me, it's plenty to get you started.
Been using FL studio for years and rediscover LMMS not too long ago.
Bitwig is my favorite.
Thanks for your suggestion :)
Luna!!... especially now that it's not solely tied to a UA interface.
Thank you for providing this suggestion to our audience :)
👍🏼
Bitwig numba 1
Reaper v7 best in town...and is FREE!
it's not free
The video is incorrect Ardour isn’t free unless you on Linux and you compile your own Ardour. On windows you have to pay
You are almost 100% right.
Also on Linux you are supposed to pay for the program, but it will be voluntary.
Most Linux distro probably have Ardour in their repositories.
If you haven’t included Samplitude (Pro X8) and Studio One Pro (6.5…), in the Top 8 (or Top 5). then you are clearly not worth taking seriously.
dude what the helll, lmms made your best daws list but not traction waveform which is literally the best free daw with absolutely no limitations🤨
Thanks for the suggestion :)
No Studio One, Bitwig, Reason, Waveform. 😂
the reason fl studio is so popular is it was the easiest to pirate
hahaha!
Sad but true
What is the highest channel count and sample rate and bit depth FL will do? Can it do Dolby Atmos?
@@MrHamit64 HAHAHAHAH very funny question well fl studio have highest industry bit depth and yes you can do Dolby Atmos with fiedler Dolby Atmos composer ....so if i may ask can your DAW do audio separation???????? hahahahahahah
@vincemincevince and who told you that other daw dont have pirate?...other Daw like Cubase 5 of those years and up till now still get cracked
Let us know your opinion. What's your DAW of choice and why?
I use lmms and Studio one, gets my work done
That's all that matters :)
Reaper because I record audio books and Reaper can be set up as the ideal audio book narrator machine. IT also works on my OS, Linux.
Thanks for the comment @musicalneptunian and suggestion for others who might require a DAW for a similar use-case :)
Cakewalk.
What do you think is the best free Daw for beginners?
Personally we really like Ableton. There are many layers to it and it can get quite complex, but it presents itself in an easy to understand way for beginners as well. We find it really intuitive and easy to use.
Cubebase 😂
No bitwig??????????????????????????? ☢
Thanks for the DAW suggestion @vestalfa6442!
