So many know-it-alls who try to "dis" MuLab!
It is THE ONLY daw I use, period. Have been since 2016. 235 tracks posted to-date on my Artist Pro page in SoundCloud. I'm still learning the daw, but I am loyal to it! Thanks, Jo. Keep going.
In praise of MuLab

What kind of music are you making?
Its interesting to hear what other people are doing with it.
What kind of sound attracted you to this one.
It was the swing function for me.

The original attraction was MuLab's design did not impose a particular way of working, so I could explore a musical idea without needing to change it to fit the DAW. That was a big deal.
MuLab's development path toward sample integration has supported my deep interest in acousmatic/musique concrète. A surprising synchronicity!!

That is a hard style, to cater to. I feel your pain. But, likewise, if feel MuLab is the path of least resistance.MuLab's development path toward sample integration has supported my deep interest in acousmatic/musique concrète. A surprising synchronicity!!
When your work is developed in an unusual way, it is certainly nice to have an environment that doesn't antagonize the situation. The style you mention, is similar to what I do. I've never known that genre classification before. I'd say Industrial was meant to be kind of like that, but there is too much focus on "machine like" or "industrial factory" sounds.
It can be hard to remain inspired, when it takes so much work to exact a simple idea. Good for you, my friend.
Yes, same here.BTW, I joined kvr (5000 ago

"MuLab's development path toward sample integration has supported my deep interest in acousmatic/musique concrète."
Thats interesting.
Maybe that's similar to what I've been leaning towards while using MuLab.
I've become attracted to the textures, that grinds and statics and rumbles can make.
There can be a kind of melody to it.
Thats also good point, that the modular, customizable nature of MuLab,
gives you more room to conform the instrument AROUND the use/sound.
Where a locked in/rigid interface, makes you have to conform to the instrument.

Mulab was my first DAW because it was free to use and I got immediately hooked.
I have gone from being a dabbler to an intermediate level user of a lower order.
I think the simple clean user interface makes it accessible for newbies.
In my real life I am an Architect and "accessibility" is evidence of design excellence.
Under the hood the Mulab workshop is however a collection of sophisticated tools that is not cluttered by flashy gimmicks.

Excellent point.
The Ensoniq ASR's pulled a wonderful trick at the time,
where they had an almost child like simple and fun to use interface,
the first one I ever saw was a friend of mines,
he showed me two things and I knew how to use it.
But underneath this playful effortless interface,
it had more power and functions then anything else in its sport.
MuLab feels like that.

I've just been demoing MuLab free and I'm realising how really appealing MuLab is.
Especially appealing to me is the simplicity of recording and quantizing MIDI.
I can relate to the clean interface and get work done faster.
Also, the built-in presets are really nice. The price is reasonable too; I will be purchasing.
Thanks for maintaining MuLab as a competitive DAW for the real world.
