The Simple DAW is exactly what it sounds like: a simple digital audio workstation that sits neatly between Chrome Music Lab’s Song Maker and full platforms like BandLab or Soundtrap. It gives students room to grow without the overwhelm.
Building on the simplicity of Song Maker, Simple DAW adds the tools students need to create fuller, more musical work:
- Four track drums, including hi hat, for a complete rhythm section
- A copy bar button to speed up composition
- Note names and numbers down the left (C2, D2, E2 and so on) so students can see what they’re playing
- A mixer to balance volume across the four drum parts and the melody part
- More octaves and more bars for greater creative range
- Four melody instruments and four drum kits, all with more modern sounds
- Click and drag notes to extend note value, giving students finer control over rhythm
Work saves instantly as a shareable link, so students can send their compositions straight to a friend or teacher.
Recreate for Simple DAW comes with seven ‘Recreate’ videos, helping students build real songs quickly and giving them a solid foundation to develop their own creative ideas. Projects include the following songs:
- 7 Nation Army
- Beat It
- Billie Jean
- Beverly Hills Cop Theme
- I Like To Move It
- Blinding Lights
- Happier
