Beat making has been a continuously evolving art form since the earliest days of DJ Kool Herc, Grand Wizzard Theodore, KRS-One, and countless additional innovators. The field would continue growing with the groundbreaking sample weaving of artists like J Dilla, Madlib, Pete Rock, and Nujabes, who’ve inspired the likes of Onra, Flying Lotus, and Oneohtrix Point Never, to name a handful of the pantheon of production powerhouses (sorry, we know we missed a few). Still, the question on every producer’s mind remains the same: how do they do it? There’s no single, comprehensive answer to that question, but what’s imperative to finding any creative success is a rock-solid foundation, and using the right DAW for your workflow makes a world of difference. Sweetwater’s resident beat baron, Creative D’Will, takes you through a handful of some of the most widely used DAWs to help you determine which DAW is best for your beat-making style. Check it out!
