Orbit Waves vs. a full DAW
A DAW can do anything and asks you to learn everything. Orbit Waves does the last mile of a finished song in plain words.
A DAW is a studio. If you write, record, and arrange, you need one. But if the song already came out of Suno or another model, most of a DAW is in your way.
Orbit Waves keeps only what the last step needs: listen, fix the harsh top and the mud, set the loudness, save. Pro adds faders, pan, mute, solo, markers, loops, and versions when you want them.

|---|---|---|
| Time to a finished file | Minutes, one button | Hours, once you know the tools |
