Software

The incredible power of modern computers has enabled software to revolutionise the recording process.

Capable of replacing nearly any hardware component of a studio, from the mixing desk and tape machines, to effects and even instruments themselves, music and recording software has placed the power and functionality of hardware, that would have cost tens of thousands of pounds, within the reach of anyone with a reasonably powerful computer.

Whether you use an Apple computer or a Windows based PC, there are a huge number of software options available. At Dawsons, we stock all major recording packages, including Steinberg Cubase, Sonar, Pro-tools, Propellerhead Reason, and Ableton Live. In addition, we carry a wide range of software instruments and plug-ins, from Native Instruments, Rob Papen, FXPansion, Toontrack, Garritan and more.
