As difficult as it may seem, this was thought to be the easiest portion of the creation process.įinding the cheapest storage and processing speeds to develop a workable digital audio workstation was difficult. Sound Stream included a hard drive, a minicomputer, and the software needed to run it. They accomplished this by combining many electronic components into a single unit. The first digital audio workstation produced by Sound Stream ran from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. It is the piece of equipment that, like the human heart, keeps everything else functioning together to create the intended audio. The digital audio workstation is sometimes referred to as the studio's beating heart. DAWs are computers that record, edit, and generate digital audio. Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) include Pro Tools and FL Studio.
