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.

A good DAW (Mac)

Ive been looking at buying a mac for my DAW needs. For the past year ive been using Cakewalk Sonar 8 but ive found love for logic. I have narrowed it down to a Mac book Pro But have concerns with the screen size, at only 15" it seems a bit on the small size.

Being a student i cant afford the 17" and dont particually want to get a an iMAC.

What DAW Software? Hmm...

I am new this whole thing and I am in the process of setting up my home recording studio right now. The only thing I need now is a good DAW software... I have looked into two so far: MixCraft 4.2 and REAPER... In my opinion, REAPER sounds like more "bang for the buck" but I am just wondering; what would anybody recommend? Weather it be MixCraft, REAPER, or another.

Thanks!
