DAW has become another buzzword that gets tossed around a lot without a clear definition. I always defined Digital Audio Workstation as the software I use with a minor consideration of the computer it is running on.



Certainly don't want to be argumentative (this forum is way above that and it is certainly not my style), but for sake of discussion, this is definitely not my definition of a DAW. I would include the hardware as an essential element in the design of a DAW.

While I was running BIAB on old 386 and 486 machines when it was all midi, these new audio files are a different world. I also had ProTools v5 through v8.1 up and running and this all audio files. This was my exposure to a system which was highly dependent on the hardware. If you didn't have it right, it would not run. I decided long ago that this type of "electronic music making" was something I needed to incoporate into my music. So I made the hardware a priority.

Just one mans opinion.
