Music had a one night stand with sound design.....And the condom broke

Definitely should new DAWs be developed in 2024. A handful comercial players some with problematic attitudes in their marketing approach leave room for improvement and alternatives.

I think Bandlab with AI is the future. The classic DAW will turn into a small niche and then die out completely.

No new DAWs or updates! Enough features already! I will not live long enough to fully explore my DAW, and that is true of them all!

"As the PANDEMIC, cloud-computing and generative AI shift expectations of how music-making tools should look and feel, Declan McGlynn asks: will the DAW adapt or die?"

Now that Bitwig has become themeable due to some mistake so it is no longer an eyesore, and finally, the VSTs can be undoable and the UI of BWS is driven by the graphics card, the playback can finally be started from the current cursor position + gets the no-mouse editing features I'm starting to feel happy.

it took 12years ...

ps. to ensure that the UI doesn't start to lag or appear as if it's moving underwater when adjusting automation points, it took 11 years. I think it got better from version 5.1.x onwards, no needs more DAW :party:

Umm, how long did Live take to get to its current state?

With A.I. now at the fingertips of the average layman, there will soon be thousands of "new" DAWs going beyond 2024.
Each will be demonstrated by youtube vids with titles like, "The Only Daw You Need?" "You Won't Believe What This Daw Can Do!" and "This Person Used This Daw And The Next Thing That Happened Was....."
The craziest part of it all? Everyone will forget that they're supposed to make music with DAWs.

So yes, new DAWs and preferably by companies that can possibly be a name player ie Native Instruments who should turn Reaktor into a DAW. Keep the rack concept too akin to that other DAW (I forget the name).

Creating the music is the funniest part, why would I want to get it over with in three clicks, let AI handle the annoying, non-creative parts, and let the rest stay as it is.

And so will all human creativity other than the choice between which buttons to press to make the music come out...

I didn't watch the video, so I don't know if there's a hook, but why on earth would you not if such is your desire? A mountainous task, but don't ever think it's all said and done.

Isn't that what we are doing already? We press buttons (qwerty keys, mouse clicks) to make the music. Even playing an instrument, we press. Be it keys, in between frets, buttons on a saxophone etc.
Everything is piezo.

It's all in the amount of button presses, or plucks, or bow strokes, or blows down the tube... I think you know what I meant. "Hey Siri, compose me a symphony"
