What is a Workstation/DAW?
A workstation was originally what we'd call a PC today. A keyboard, screen and CPU rather than just being a dumb terminal to a mainframe.
Then the name was taken to describe keyboards like the Korg M1. They combined a sequencer with drums and synths, etc. Basically everything you need in one box to make a backing track.
The Digital Audio Workstation was the computer/hardware used to record digital audio along with the software and audio interfaces required.
ProTools, Logic Audio, Studio Vision, etc. were just a component of a DAW, not the DAW itself.
Comments
By some of the posts indicated in the thread on What constitutes a DAW? this concept seems to have evolved over the years so that currently there are a variety of different types of setups and workflows which constitute a DAW.
There are now hardware devices like the Novation SL49/61 MKIII which neither create nor record any sound yet can be used to control a wide range of hardware and software synths which may or may not be recorded.
This distinction is somewhat similar to the differences between MainStage targeted toward live performance versus Logic for full music production on macOS or Audiobus 3, AUM, and apeMatrix versus Cubasis, Nano Studio 2, BeatMaker 3, GarageBand, Auria, or Cubasis on iOS.
I think it would be interesting and very useful if a range of people were willing to share how they use a DAW in their music creation workflow.
