This is exactly how my brain works when I hear mention of DAW. However, I am almost certain that if we should look in the dictionary it would make reference to both the hardware and software, and possible with more emphasis on the machine.Radio Arcade wrote:just the software - When people ask which 'Digital Audio Workstation' you are on they want to know logic/live/cubase etc - not what other gear you have...
IMO the term has evolved to encompass audio software that can run on home computers. Although, I believe that initially it refered to a dedicated standalone.
