For a couple of months, a few of us have been working on a project involving a comparison of several digital audio workstations from an accessibility perspective. I initially had the idea to compare Pro Tools, Logic and Reaper on the Mac. Eventually, this led to the inclusion of Samplitude on Windows. Taking it a step further still, the idea was floated to have a live panel discussion on the results of the comparisons.

So, as a first step, I'm sharing a series of files featuring each of the DAWs in action. There are 12 mp3s that divide various tasks among the workstations. Each task is performed in each DAW and the listener gets an idea of the UI layout, feedback, etc. In total, there's over 4 hours of material. The live panel discussion will take place next week and you'll hear more about that when I See Music posts a link. For now, feel free to share the link and teaser below:

Can you email the files on mp3? I couldn’t open them on the drop box app.
