We would recommend Waveform Free to learn on, because it gives you access to everything you need to learn, and is pretty user-friendly.Ībleton is the best DAW for production hands down. This means you get a fully fledged DAW for absolutely nothing! A hard bargain to beat, even if your user interface, and workflow ends up being better on the other DAWs, once you purchase their full versions. It's essentially the last version of Tracktion Waveform, as the new one gets released.

Tracktion Waveform is the most feature rich, extensive DAW you'll get for free, and provides the most effects, sample libraries for nothing. We recommend you download all of them, and find out which is best for your scenario.įor all round music production, recording and engineering, Ableton, Waveform & Studio One are more than capable. For instance if you're into recording bands and mixing + mastering, you'll want to go with Pro Tools First, instead of the above.

It also depends on what you want to use your DAW for.
