Top software music production!

accreditation

THE process of music production has significantly changed in the past two decades as technology evolves.

Digital audio workstation (DAW) software allows budding and established musicians to write, record and produce their songs.

Being a music producer myself, I’ve had to learn the art of using various software to record and make beats.

I decided to share some of the best digital audio workstations which are currently being used worldwide to make music.

They are:

  • Fruity Loops 20
Fruity Loops 20 is easy to navigate and allows you to use the software with or without guidance.

Founded by Image-Line, FL Studio is one of the most popular software with an iconic status for established producers, particularly in genres of hip hop and electronic dance music.

I use this software because it is easy to navigate and allows you to use the software with or without guidance.
