A DAW, or digital audio workstation, is a software program used for recording, editing, and mixing audio. It's like a digital version of a traditional recording studio, where you can record, edit, and mix multiple audio tracks to create a complete song. A DAW typically includes a range of features, such as the ability to record multiple tracks simultaneously, apply effects and plugins to individual tracks, adjust the volume and panning of each track, and arrange the tracks into a final mix.

Using a DAW can be a great way to produce high-quality recordings on no budget. Many DAWs are available for free, and even the paid options are often much more affordable than traditional recording equipment. With a little practice and experimentation, you can achieve professional-sounding results using just a DAW and your computer.

Playing drums gives me a good feeling,although it feels much greater when you can work with like minded artists. That's why I'm working with the up and coming Nicola Hogg. Last year we've released 4 singles, you can check these out on all social media platforms with the handle @nicolahoggmusic - for them we've worked with Abbey Road Engineer Christian Wright (Ed Sheeran) and other collaborators. The single 'Flow' won the Mayor of London Big Busk competition which received press coverage from BBC News, BBC introducing, the Evening Standard and many other major media outlets. It also took us to Glastonbury where Nicola shared the bill with artists such as, Mullally, Everything Everything & producer Naughty Boy. Touring wise, Nicola played in Italy and Argentina.  Where is she now?She's now back in London, where we are planning for her second set of song releases, gigs and tours. We'll be rehearsing at Planet Drum too, so pop in if you want to meet Nicola or just say hi! Make sure you listen to her tracks, and leave a comment if you like them! Blog post by Hernan Palazzo |
