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.

Suggestions on components for DAW System

Going to put together a DAW system this month. Anyone want to take a crack at best (e.g. flexibility/sound/value) components--e.g. motherboard, processor, HDs, Interface, case/power supply, etc--for approximately 2000.00 U.S.? I had planned to do this about a year ago, but bought a Korg D1600--Gets limited fast. Starting from scratch. Thanks.

Tascam Firewire DAW Controllers

I just noticed that Tascam will be rolling out their new controller, ( the US2400 ) and I'd like to get a few responses from some of you who may own the FW1884 controller. I know the 1884 is a audio/midi/controller interface & the 2400 is just a controller. But as far as a controller, how well does it do with your favorate S/W? Also just how dependable is Firewire?
