Turning the DAW Inside Out
AES Convention 146 · Paper 10183 · March 2019
Abstract
“Turning the DAW Inside Out” describes a speculative, internet-enabled sound recording and music production technology. The internet changed music authorship, ownership, and distribution. We expect connected digital technologies to continue to affect the processes by which music is created and consumed. Our goal is to explore an optimistic future wherein musicians, audio engineers, software developers, and music fans all benefit from an open ecosystem of connected digital services. In the process we review a range of existing tools for internet enabled audio and audio production and consider how they can grow to support a new generation of music creation technology.
