Hey everyone, I've been using hardware synths to write music for a little while and I've heard of dawless setups around and I sort of get the gist of it. My question here is how do you/do you record songs to be able to post in some other way or is using a daw as just a recording step not mutually exclusive with a dawless setup?
I guess to sum up, does dawless only really refer to what is controlling everything or is it truly never using a daw?
For the most part, it's about performance. The idea is to get off a screen and into a more tactile workspace.
Your average person isn't going to have the financial capacity to afford equipment that can do mastering outside of a computer.
So, some folks use a stand alone recorder, some use their MPC. I happen to have a mixer that can record channels. I take my instrument outputs and put them into a DAW, eventually.
