![]() Has it really been almost nine years since the launch of the first version of Bitwig Studio? It has indeed, though that still makes it a relative infant in DAW terms. We’d love to see integrated pitch correction The latest version, Cubase 12, offers yet more new productivity features, along with the ability to sign in to the software with your Steinberg ID and native support for Apple's silicon Macs.įor new purchasers, the many excellent plugins, extensive sound library and massive functionality continue to make Cubase worth the price of admission, and it's worth noting that the more affordable Artist and Elements editions come with decent feature sets, too. Steinberg has spearheaded music software development for over 30 years, and through Cubase, which started as a MIDI sequencer, introduced a whole generation to the block-based arrange screen now used in the majority of today’s DAWs.Īlong the way, the company also invented virtual studio technology (VST), developed a class-leading audio editor (WaveLab) and survived the dark days of software piracy.ĭespite increased competition, Cubase is still up there at the head of the DAW pack. For the price, Mac users won’t find a more comprehensive set of music production tools anywhere else. More than all that, though, Logic Pro remains superb value for money. There are new mixer and panner controls for this, and 12 other Logic Pro plugins are now spatial audio-ready, too. It's also worth noting that, as of Logic Pro 10.7, Apple's DAW enables you to create tracks in the company's Dolby Atmos-powered spatial audio format. There was also a new step sequencer, completely overhauled samplers and new tools for electronic beatmakers. ![]() Version 10.5 was Logic Pro 11 in all but name, turning this most traditional of DAWs into a truly contemporary music-making platform.Ĭentral to this overhaul was the addition of Ableton-style Live Loops, which enable you to jam with ideas before recording them to the main timeline. It’s been a while since we had a ‘full’ new version of Logic Pro - version X was released way back in 2013 - but numbers can be deceiving. It retains its place at the cutting edge of DAW technology. While some of the changes in Live 11 might require a little getting used to for veterans, Ableton has again managed to enhance the software's capabilities without adding bloat to its famously streamlined workflow. ![]() Further updates have added native support for Apple's M1 and M2 Macs and AUv3 plugin compatibility, so you can now run certain iOS synths and effects within Live, too. There are new devices, too, along with updates for existing ones. ![]() The long-awaited Live 11 takes things to the next level, adding much-requested features such as an elegant comping system and support for MPE. Since then, it's exploded in popularity and influenced the development of countless other desktop and mobile apps. When the first version was released in 2001 it threw out the traditional design rulebook and established itself not just as a recording program for composers, but also as a performance instrument in itself. It's hard to overstate the impact that Live has had on the music software marketplace. Plugin delay compensation is still an issue for a few of the effects In truth, any one of these products will enable you to make music - and we're not saying that any one is definitively better than all the others - but they’re all slightly different in the way that they operate, so it’s worth taking the time to consider your options carefully and try out demo versions wherever possible. To help you find that DAW, we’ve put together an expert guide to what we consider to be the best Digital Audio Workstations on the market today, including full reviews for many of our choices. Put simply, the best DAW for you is the one that makes it easiest for you to make music, and inspires you to keep creating. Yes, you’ll likely have a MIDI keyboard, audio interface, set of studio monitor speakers and possibly a microphone or two in your home recording setup as well, but your music production software sits at the centre of everything, and if it's not working for you, your level of creativity is likely to be compromised.Īs such, it’s important to get a DAW that you’re happy with - and, perhaps even more importantly, a digital audio workstation that will enable you to turn your ideas into music as quickly and painlessly as possible.

Butterfly Feeders and Houses Butterfly Feeders, Houses, Nectar and Accessories Use feeders with a sponge or wick to imitate the way butterflies draw nectar from flowers. If you do, you can expect to be rewarded with a season of interesting butterfly watching. This may be the year to finally set up that butterfly feeder that you’ve been thinking about. ![]() NABA member Joan Myrom has graciously allowed us to reprint it here. The following article originally appeared in Butterfly Gardener magazine (Vol 13, Issue 4, Winter 2008). In their book, How to Spot Butterflies, authors Pat and Clay Sutton state that “quite a few butterflies and moths have odd preferences and are attracted to feces, urine, sap, and rotten fruit.” While this may seem a stark contrast to the visual beauty of butterflies, the Suttons have had great success in exploiting this feeding behavior…. NABA members from around the country are sharing their stories and photos about their successes and failures of using butterfly feeders. Learning from the experiences of others can be incredibly instructive, particularly when a process varies widely by location. The type of butterflies that visit your feeder will depend on a wide variety of factors, some of which include the season, location, weather, and (unfortunately) luck.
