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.

Lining Up Phases in DAW?

I've heard people mention that they recommend lining up the phase of different tracks of the same source in their DAWs... I was wondering if, when you have multiple tracks of drums recorded, you would recommend aligning the phases of all the tracks (eg nudging the snare/kick/tom track(s) over to align with their corresponding hits in the overhead mics).
