Mrshroud:
For those considering the business of producing music, and for artistes who might want to save cost by learning the art of electronic music creation.

I composed this list , as a guide and to serve as basis for your take off; you might also wanna be informed about the digital tools responsible for most of nigeria's hit songs.

Top 5 most popular digital audio workstations used in Nigeria and their prospects.


This list is based on my experience as a Producer and consultation and interactions with vast number of producers in Nigeria both online and Offline.

The List is gauged by degree of accessibility , ease of use,and operating system support of this
Digital Audio Workstations(D.A.W) in Nigeria.

For ease of understanding a Digital audio Workstation (DAW) is a Software used in making and production of music.

RickRichards:
Started with FL, moved to Reason 5, then Live 9. Now I'm married to Logic pro and maschine.

fubbyy:
these daws you have used,can you please give me there ups and downs,what you like and hate about each of every one of them

I'm an aspiring producer,people criticize the FL we thought is the best,now I don't know which is the best

Mrshroud:


Personally and for lack of a more euphemistic word I'll say F.L Studio's Voicing Recording and Processing ambience as at the last time I checked is somewhat amateurish and least-advanced.

Mrshroud:

Infact Some producers I've spoken with Say their problem with FL studio is that It appears too common

Mrshroud:

and simple that it makes Production look less professional because its so simple ,

RickRichards:

Okay, I'll make it quick.
Well, FL studio is probably the best for beginners, but you might start sounding like every other amateur/intermediate producer if you don't know how to design your own sounds. On the other hand, the step sequencer is perfect for naija beats.
Reason is cool...I prefer the stock sounds in Reason to FL. They sound punchy, fat, and crunchy. And they work well for the West African style of music. You can't use third-party plugins in Reason 5 and below. There's Reason 8 now.
Ableton Live: Another cool DAW. Very handy for getting ideas out fast. The UI's much different to other popular DAWs. So it might take some getting used to. I personally don't like the sound engine of Live though.
Maschine: maschine is great for churning out sick beats. But it works best with the hardware. Most top producers use it in conjunction with other DAWs. I do too - with Logic.
Logic: Logic is my favorite. I just love everything about it - the GUI, the sound engine, the stock sounds, everything. You can also write notation in Logic. Logic will help you become a more thoughtful producer; not just a beatmaker. Only problem is: it only works on macintosh systems. But it's totally worth it.

thanks a lot bro,

*please which daw is more plugin and Vst friendly,I mean the one that supports a lot of it
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Nowadays, every DAW has good third-party plugin support. Third-party plugins are not always in VST format alone. There's also AU, DPM, AAX, and RTAS. It all depends on the DAW you're using. But if your computer's RAM is more than 4GB, 32bit plugins like Sylenth will not work without a VSTbridge. It's no problem though. I use 32bit on my 64bit computer - with an AUbridge .
---------------------------------------------------------------------
*Does the reason 8 support vst and plugins?because I believe without plugins making beats sucks
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, it does. And you can also download refills from propellerhead.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
*now that I've (so I think)graduated from FL studio and wants to upgrade,which daw will you advice me to switch to,and do I still need someone to teach me like they taught me FL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can stick with FL if you're meticulous and can design your own sounds, or if you have good VSTs, unique drum kits, etc. If you have to upgrade, try Reason. You can Rewire it into FL and use them together. About learning, once you know how one DAW works - like how to do automation, how envelopes work, how send and return channels work - moving to other DAWs shouldn't be much of a problem. All you have to do is learn how apply those techniques in your new DAW. A few youtube video tutorials could help.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*And please what do you mean by macintosh systems?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I mean Apple computers: Imacs, mac mini's, macpro's, and macbooks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*finally,I want to buy piano keyboard,which daw is best for keyboard,I know FL is awesome in that aspect,you can play keyboard and edit what you played in piano roll,is their any other daw as good as that when it comes to piano?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the listed DAWs can capture midi input from midi devices. You can go for a midi controller/keyboard, or a generic electronic keyboard that has a USB port.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks a lot once again

fubbyy:
