A Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) developer designs and creates software platforms used for recording, editing, and producing audio files. They construct the user interface, integrating features like multi-track recording, MIDI sequencing, and audio plugins. They also ensure the software can handle different audio file formats and is compatible with various operating systems. They work on optimizing the software's performance to minimize latency issues. They also troubleshoot and fix bugs, while regularly updating the software to incorporate new features or advancements. They must understand both programming and audio production to create effective, user-friendly DAWs.
