Best Audio and MIDI Software - KVR Audio Readers' Choice Awards 2024

Welcome to the KVR Audio Readers' Choice Awards 2024!

Now is the time to reward product developers who create the amazing products that we use.

Until October 7th, 2024 all KVR Members can nominate their favourite products in the categories below. In October, nomination shortlists (compiled from September's Nomination Stage) will be presented in each category and then, until October 31st, 2024, every KVR member will be able vote for their favourites from these. Votes will be carried over from the nomination stage.

Of course if you don't care for the shortlist nominations you will still be able to select your own from the KVR Product Database.

You can vote in as many or as few categories you wish.

If you can't find your favourite products in the KVR Product Database please contact us (or the product's developer, as they probably have admin access to their brand at KVR) and we'll try to get it added for you.

Votes can be changed at any time until the closing date.
