Welcome to DAWTheory — the website for striving orchestral and folk musicians to study music theory, orchestration, sound design, audio engineering, mixing and mastering in the digital audio workstation (DAW).
It will include everything from “What is sound?” to the mechanics and tonal colours for writing and polishing music.
The focus lies on the piano roll editor, but we also provide all aspects and examples as traditional notation.
Information is gathered from many sources such as academic textbooks, websites and social media. Content on the website is expanded almost daily, so keep visiting!
