Bitwig Studio 5
from €79
Full Review: FM399
At v5, Bitwig Studio is hugely creative, experimental and deep. That won’t suit all users, but within its niche, it’s unrivalled.
Ableton Live 11 Suite £539
Full Review: FM368 (v11.0)
With the new 11.3 update, Live gains a brilliantly, user-friendly new synth, Drift, and a host of new expressive capabilities.
Steinberg Cubase 12 £497
Review: FM382 Version 12 is a solid and dependable update to Cubase, and offers some excellent new features and small, but important, updates to others.
Universal Audio LUNA free
UA might not want to call LUNA a DAW, but let’s be honest... Even in its version one form, this is a slick and stylish recording environment and a great freebie for Apollo users.
