The Digital Audio Workstation, or DAW, is the heart of the modern home recording studio (or commercial recording studio). The DAW is essentially the software program you’ll be using to record multi-track audio through your audio interface into your computer, and will be where you do most of your mixing, as well. Popular DAW programs include Avid Pro Tools, PreSonus Studio One, Sonar by Cakewalk, Cubase, Logic Pro and many others.
