About Music Production

Digital audio workstations in 2025 serve producers, songwriters, engineers, and DJs across genres and workflows, from composing and recording to mixing, mastering, and live performance, in home studios and professional rooms alike. Choices hinge on interface design, MIDI and audio editing depth, built‑in instruments and effects, controller integration, collaboration and export options, templates and session management, learning curve and support, and pricing and licensing, so creators can align features to their creative approach and technical needs.

Fernando Lagreca frames music‑making around a balance between using presets and embracing playful experimentation, treating presets as starting points that speed up decision‑making while leaving space for improvisation and performance to shape the final sound in the studio or on stage. The workflow favors momentum and tactile control over endless tweaking, combining structured sound design with hands‑on exploration in home studio and live rigs to keep sessions focused, encourage happy accidents, and turn sketches into finished tracks without losing character.
