The Future of Music Production: Real-Time Remote Music Collaboration w/ DAWn Audio | SEQUENCE

How can you get stated with remote music collaboration if producers use a different DAW to you? Next time you feel like making music, imagine if you could jump into an Xbox-style lobby and collaborate in real-time with artists from around the world to create a track, without either of you having to learn a new DAW? That's a future Diego Pinzon, CEO and co-founder of DAWn Audio, is working to make a reality. Diego joins us to share his vision for a live music creation network that allows artists to transcend the limitations of traditional studios, digital audio workstation (DAW) learning curves, and physical location. This episode offers a look at how DAWn Audio is bridging the gap between emerging talent and seasoned pros through its technology, creating a community of spontaneous creativity and learning opportunities. We discuss the value of music as a creative journey, through an Ana Gabriel cover performed by Diego, his father and his uncle. We dive into the nuances of creating environments conducive to creativity, whether through physical spaces and events like Dreamville's 10-day "Revenge of the Dreamers 3" artist camp, or via digital platforms like DAWn. From J Dilla and Madlib's legendary Jaylib collaboration, to fostering connections across generations (exemplified by the pervasive sampling of Hank Crawford's timeless track "Wildflower"), this conversation uncovers how music acts as a timeless thread linking artists and audiences alike. Throughout, we discuss the technological and community innovation DAWn brings to the table, particularly in eliminating the barriers for musicians to collaborate on their own terms, and focusing on the communal cultural impact the act of music-making has within communities. _________________________ ▶️ SEQUENCE is a show where you can learn about the latest music tech startups through the music that inspired them. 🔗 For more info about the show, head to https://cold.inc/sequence 🔗 Learn more about ‪@dawnaudio9244‬ at https://site.dawn-audio.com/ _________________________ 00:00 - Intro 00:39 - What is DAWn Audio? 01:28 - A music collaboration network 02:57 - Pros vs. new producers 03:40 - [TRACK 1] Un Viejo Amor by Ana Gabriel 04:09 - How Diego got into music 05:44 - Centering the creative process 07:00 - The social power of music 08:26 - [TRACK 2] Wildflower by Hank Crawford 08:53 - DAW workflow 11:02 - How real-time collaboration works 12:51 - Ways to use DAWn 15:41 - [TRACK 3] Wells Fargo by Dreamville 17:50 - Creating an online collaboration environment 18:53 - Does environment matter for creativity? 20:32 - Improving studio access 23:16 - Try out DAWn #musictech #musiccollaboration #futureofmusic #musicinnovation
