By Somoda Sotua


Today the music production industry has gone digital with majority of software equivalent to digital workstations. For the music producers, using the best production software is important.

A good example of digital music software, though not commonly used today, is the musical notation software. This replicates the writing of a musical score on computers instead of using a paper and pen. Another good example is the digital workstation, initially a hardware device. A DAW is a software program that records, plays and edits digital audio. Most music released today have MIDI sequencing and additional features which enable manipulation of digital audio.

Another great form of music production software is samples which are types of digital audio.
