Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
At some point you might want to record some of the music you have been playing. Of course you can hold your phone next to your guitar and record, and at times you don't need more than that. But what if you want to do a bit more, actually record a full song, or multiple layers of instruments. That's when DAW's come into play.
What are some of your favorites? What are the ones that in specific cases do a thing really good, but in other scenarios not so much.
Dont know about the rest but logic pro is a one time buy.
For Reaper and Ableton as well, you pay only when there is a new major release and you want to get that, but no subscriptions.
Ah ok. Interesting. Logic I bought like 8 years ago, never had to pay for new release or mayor update which is nice :)
