Welcome to our software section. We talk about all types of music software here. These include songwriting software, recording software, mastering software, music notation software and much more. You will find guides and reviews to help you choose the best software for you, and articles where I talk about my favorite software and why I prefer them over others.
In some of the articles I talk about the exact software I use in my home recording studio. If you’re a songwriter or artist who is building a recording studio, you should find these articles very useful.
