- Notes:
  > AW like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, or FL Studio essentially serves as your digital recording studio. It’s the software you’ll use to write, record, edit, mix, and master tracks. As a music student learning production, engineering and mixing, mastery of a DAW is absolutely essential. 
  > 
  >   
  > 
  > While advanced versions of leading DAWs sell for $600, many now offer free or low-cost tiers for beginners. For example, FL Studios “Fruity Edition” is only $99 for a lifetime license. Image-Line also offers a totally free trial version to get started. This allows you to dive into beat making and music production without a huge upfront investment. You can always upgrade to unlock more features as your skills progress
