    It takes time for the new paradigm to get it's own name rather than a reference to the prior paradigm:

    horseless carriage -> automobile
    wireless -> radio

    So DAW references the prior audio workstations as becoming computerized.

    Virtual Console works for me. As a Three Letter Acronym I'd use VMC... Virtual Music
    Console. Just my attempt to coin a new TLA.

    Agreed. In fact I don't use DAW word, just Garage or Logic or Ableton... so I suppose this is related to people talking about tools instead talking about using them.

    I should go and open one of my old Future Music magazines to start crying with nostalgia...

    Ahhh, i remember 2018...

    https://archive.org/details/futuremusicapril2018

    I was talking about workstations...

    The definitive workstation?

    Children is from 1994... just the year I started computer production with Fasttracker and buying these magazines...
    :cry:

    Ahh Fasttracker on my Gravis Ultrasound card. Was fun for a bit.

    ...also Cubic Player using the GUS patches to play midi files and visualizations from Demoscene
    Ballad for windows some time later (well windows itself :lol:) and over 1997-98 Fruity Loops...

    I'm feeling old and tired (but let me say that BlocsWave was (and is) the nearest feeling to that era (Fruity Slicer <3) and that's why I still kept my iPad (and GTL too))

    For me BM3 captures the tracker thing well. Lately i started sending midi/start stop from Renoise into BM3, very nice. Ever mess with Renoise?

    I was tempted but since I discover step sequencer from Fruity I fell into groovebox composition and never come back (even when I saw The Matrix for the first time and feel weird operators using Trackers lol)

    The trackers piano roll never was confortable for me I used them due it wasn’t nothing better at that time but Fruity win the race those times... then I go mac and try to work with Ableton (around 7-8.25) and it was the time I done less music in my whole life!

    As time goes I’m more and more into playing and less and less into editing/mixing... so I purchased BM3 as alternative to Ableton (to keep me iOS solo user) but in the end I prefer to start things in BlocsWave/Garageband iOS and build structures at mac with mouse and playing keys over those structures. Lately I send my sketches to the studio guy and he finishes those (most of the time in manners I will ever do so it’s winwin).

    Renoise just will complicate which is a enjoyable workflow at last...

    Yeah !! Me too !! Still remembering issues with reviews of Waldorf Microwave XT, Supernova or JP8080 ... hell i think i even still have them somewhere in some box which i didn't opened maybe for 20 years :)))

    Now, we live in future. Nobody even dreamed back then about such things like iPads and about music apps we can run on phone !!

    I done it when I purchased my Roland VariOS wondering how amazing could be in the future to set slices with touchscreen instead mouse (probably vsynth xt worked that way) and also I made mockups about apc40/Push time before these where reality due my controllerism needs and vjing ideas. Now I have in my home a shared xone 4D and I will research a bit into stems and frequency remixing tools but maybe AI will get first over that since I slowed myself a bit in innovation and focused more in composition (it was very tiring trying to develop things on my own when I was just a diy mad scientist... but it comes all from that era or even earlier when my brother has konami cartridges like Nightmare, Pinguin adventure or the goonies in tapes since we can buy originals...)
    Tinkering is part of my DNA :sweat_smile:

    Blaster Master teach me about pitching up samples to save memory in Mods (or ram in hardware samplers later) so and so... and time to time I think about buying a MV8800 or MC909 (mpcs aren’t my thing) or even a VS2480 and forget about computers but Garageband drummer and BlocsWave fast workflow are a godsend

    Could be an i-station that docks to a DAW but its not like we will ever visit space, unless Eventide Corp beats a future Captain Cook.

    Robert Miles - Children was and still is an absolute mega classic for me... the long album version is just breathtaking. Fable is also good. Helped catapult EDM into the mainstream (yes, there was a time when it was mainstream!!).

    I'm late to the game... I don't know about other non-ios software, but Reaper shows the extension of the acronym DAW as Digital Audio Workstation. And for what it's worth, any sound from a mic that we feed through an interface to be converted starts as ANALOG, right? Either way, I think the acronym DAW still fits what we do.

    But, I still don’t understand the beef with DAW.lol

    I think the OP was noticing that all DAW's are Digital so they could just be called AW's...

    Maybe we could highlight the mobility and call them MAW's but I also think Workstation
    could be re-considered so I'll probably start using MAE and just expect a few WTF's.

    I still need to get working on a "PlayFlow" using the Hybrid-MAE clustering of AB3+Loopy HD+Xequence 2+AUM.

    Lmao@Playflow.

    Silliest thing about me is I’d been using/saying DAW for decades before ever considering what the acronym was short for.lol.
