Description
An acronym for Digital Audio Workstation A digital audio workstation (DAW) is an electronic device or application software used for recording, editing and producing audio files. DAWs come in a wide variety of configurations from a single software program on a laptop, to an integrated stand-alone unit, all the way to a highly complex configuration of numerous components controlled by a central computer. Regardless of configuration, modern DAWs have a central interface that allows the user to alter and mix multiple recordings and tracks into a final produced piece.

DAW - Which One?

Hey guys!
I record concert bands (50 - 75 students) live with a stereo microphone - I have been using various combinations of equipment (some borrowed - some my own) and would like to purchase my own equipment. I don't want to go the Pro Tools route - have done that and haven't been happy with it - my computer has frozen on occasion, and with live recording, I can't live with that.

Building a DAW

Hi, This is my first post on the forum. I have been a FOH engineer for years, but am merging into studio recording. I have a great $80,000 studio I will utilize for this, however there is no DAW, so I will be purchasing one for the place (it would need to talk with a DM2000).

Which DAW to get?

I first thought i would be able to build my own DAW but I think it would be a little over my head at this moment, so I am thinking about buying a custom built DAW and I am wondering which company makes the best DAW for the money. I have looked at sweetwater's site, ADK's site and endpcnoise site. Some recomendations would be greatly appreciated.

New DAW suffering sound dropouts from some channels

I just built a new DAW. When I load my old projects into Cubase SX3 (3.11) and/or Logic 5.5 or create new projects I find myself suffering random audio dropouts on some channels of the sequencer but not others. The problem seems to occur on VST instrument channels as appose to audio tracks. The dropouts occur roughly once a minute during playback of a project.

Using a PC daw setup

I have a small home studio and I am never happy with my recordings.
I suppose everything revolves around the sound card,
so I tried a different one and different drivers,
I have used different programs and now use sonar-6,
and have even gone to a new 64 bit pc.
I guess the only thing I haven't changed is the engineer, me, LOL
