I can do just about everything a typical DAW can, with some (typical of IOS) workarounds. I don’t know if you can quite call it a DAW, but the IOS modular platform ‘Drambo’ is the most inspired any piece of musical equipment has ever made me feel. I’m also a year into Bitwig from Ableton, and it just clicks for me in a way other daws never did. it's usually bigger, broader, things like the cosmos, humanity, your mom.I couldn’t say it better than this. Satisfied with the features and sound, definitely.īut tools like this aren't my sources for inspiration. Spent years on Ableton, Logic, and others before, happiest with Bitwig by a wide margin.īut I don't know if "inspiration" is what I feel. I love mine (Bitwig), and find it super useful. there are tools/synths, etc that are fun to play and are inspiring but ultimately we have to have a lot of luck, a lot of ideas, and put in a lot of work but it’s worth it when me and my friends dance around like idiots singing along to my stupid tracks lol So basically we are the source of inspiration not the daw. then i can take the vocal wav files back into the original project that started as one of hundreds of unfinished tracks that had 1-2 loops, mix, etc and release it sometimes i made a second daw session for recording lyrics to the loops since i need low delay. I go into my car or listen on headphones on the couch to the instrumentals looped for a few mins and connect the lyrical ideas until a songs form/fleshed out. the beauty of the daw is i have a lot of scraps to put together from the past few months with sounds i tweaked and beats i can stretch out to 3-4 mins with fills, etc. that usually involves me coming up with a concept or overarching idea for an ep/lp. the important thing is that the idea fragment(s) were inspiring at the time and i can revisit that.įinishing actual projects is a different thing. I kind of prefer to work from these idea fragments and can sometimes recapture the whole idea or create something new. i usually beatbox/hum them into my phone’s voice memo app or write the lyrics in a rhyme diary app (daylio, i used to just use notes on iphone but daylio has daily reminders) usually lyrics or rhythms or bass/synth ideas just pop into my head from nowhere. then i can switch the midi from piano to something else either hardware or software, whatever is clever. Sometimes i open a blank daw project from my templates, load a piano patch and play until i get some chords, melodie’s, etc going. i just need something to put the ideas i have to midi and/or audio tracks. I’ve use logic for 2+ decades and it’s basically there to be a repository of jams & loops. For me the daw is not inspirational per se
