How the tool thinks

Short pages, in the order they build on each other. If you only read one, read how importing works — everything else follows from that decision.

• 01

  Getting started

  Open struDAWl, bring in a song, and hear it in under a minute.

• 02

  How importing works

  The document is the source of truth, and the importer never guesses.

• 03

  Layers, chains and motifs

  The three words the whole model is built from.

• 04

  Submixes

  Buses that survive export, because a bus is just a binding.

• 05

  The arrangement timeline

  One on/off flag per layer per cycle, and the mask it compiles to.

• 06

  Export and stems

  Four ways out, and a stem kit that loops without clicking.

• 07

  The song library

  Twenty-nine songs on four shelves, and where your own work is kept.
