There are obviously going to be errors in this data, some people will drift between the categories, and some may have answered in one category, when perhaps they should've answered in another. What value this actually provides is questionable, but I thought it was worth exploring.Ī1: Yes, and I AM currently being paid for it.Ī2: Yes, but I am NOT currently being paid for itĪ3: No, I have done in the past, but my work no longer requires itĪ4: No, I have to use it as part of my educationĪ5: No, it's just a tool I use for my hobby What Were The Answer OptionsĪs the situation in the world right now is a little "abnormal", added to the fact that there's a wide range of situations where you may or may not be earning money with a DAW, I wanted to try and capture that with the answers that were presented, and as there are only 6 options available in Reddit polls, these were the answers I settled on.

But as there are currently only 48 members I left them out as I didn't think the responses would be beneficial and included those users in the Cubase sub as there is a large overlap of users.Īpologies if your DAW wasn't in the list, I tried to ask around and see if there were others that should be included (this is how Ardour made the list, but I think it's good to have an open source DAW on the list too) but either nobody made a suggestion for it, the Reddit sub didn't exist or had so little members I didn't feel I could get any useful information there, or I wouldn't classify the software as a DAW.

In hindsight I should probably have included r/nuendo or at least separated out Cubase or Nuendo as although they are incredibly similar, Nuendo is definitely aimed at a different audience. I posted the question in the following subs and left the poll open for 3 days in each. Again, apologies if this frustrated anybody. I know this isn't perfect, and there's probably many ways it could be improved, but it's how I chose to do it. You are paid for your time, which includes using the DAW for a task.That work you do in the DAW will eventually be sold or licensed for money, or.

There are always going to be a huge variety of situations and grey areas, but I chose to make the distinction between an amateur and a professional for DAW users by asking if people met either of two criteria, and stipulating that you must have completed either of them at least once. : engaged in by persons receiving financial return 2 : one who engages in a pursuit, study, science, or sport as a pastime rather than as a profession 1 I was simply using the word to distinguish between amateurs and professionals in the following ways. I am in no way comparing an amateur to a professional in that sense, I was not asking if you are, or consider yourself to be a highly skilled or trained person. There are many, many people in this industry who have spent decades building their knowledge and businesses around their skills who categorize themselves as "professional" in order to convey a level of technical skill and business conduct.

I understand that using the word "professionally" may cause some irritation and frustration. I wanted to know who is using their DAW beyond the amateur level, who was using it professionally? Definition of "Professionally" So I was curious to know how people are using their DAW, and if there's a difference between various communities. I can use the same guitar as the bands I love, a pianist can play with the same tools as Beethoven, we can all pick up a microphone, load up some software and try to do the same things as our heros and idols. The fascinating thing about that situation is that, for the most part, the same tools are available to everyone. But in the music industry, this is completely normal. Plumbers don't fix taps in their spare time for enjoyment, and accountants don't meet up with friends in the evening to count numbers for the vibe.

There's a huge variety of people who participate at some level within it, ranging from absolute beginners in their 60's, 5 year old children in classes, bands who play purely for social reasons, and hobbyists who just enjoy tinkering with software, all the way to true pioneers in their field, academics, people who have honed their skills over decades and earn a living from it, or even make an absolute fortune. The music industry is unlike any other I can think of. So please, don't take any of this too seriously :) Intro There are probably enormous mistakes, and yes there's probably a dozen different ways I could have done this better. This was not a scientific survey, I just wanted to see roughly how people are using their DAWs, and if that differs between different communities.

I am not a scientist, pollster, mathematician or statistician.
