The choice of a digital audio workstation (DAW) depends largely on the career you are aiming for.
Pro Tools, the professional standard
The industry standard for recording, mixing, and post-production. It is the tool you will find in virtually every professional studio and post-production room in Montreal, making it essential for any career in sound engineering.
Ableton Live, built for creation
Popular among electronic music producers and artists who compose directly in the software. Its non-linear workflow (Session View) makes it an excellent composition tool, though less suited to traditional post-production work.
Logic Pro, the balance
Available only on macOS, Logic Pro combines powerful composition tools (sound libraries, virtual instruments) with solid mixing capabilities. Very popular among independent composers and content creators.
Our approach at Musitechnic
The program emphasizes Pro Tools because that is what employers look for first, but students are encouraged to explore other DAWs based on their ambitions, whether in music production, sound design for video games, or audiovisual post-production.
