commercial systems are still much more feature rich and reliable. Plus the business of accountability--most audio software is notoriously quirky, all other things being equal, many users would still prefer commercial versions due to the convenience of a support contract, and someone might want to point that out. All in all I believe open source is over-represented in this article, relative to its actual deployment in the wild, as it is given equivalent airtime to commercial systems, which have a much larger installed base...and I attribute that anomaly to the predictable evangelism of the open source user base. Most of the DAW world is using Protools, Nuendo, Cubase, Logic and Sonar, let's not bias an encyclopedia because we dislike paying. Not to mention the commercial paragraph is horrifically slanted and packed full of irrelevant and even incorrect information. I think this article ought to be rewritten. Protools the defacto standard on the Windows platform? Hardly. Protools is defacto on Mac. If there is a Windows standard, it is Nuendo/Cubase (whose users don't particularly need to be called "rabid" in what's supposed to amount to an informational article), although the Windows market share is a bit more fragmented than that enjoyed by Protools on Mac.

1253:"That's when the business with the computer started. Roger Nichols had this toy - we thought of it as a toy - but one day he came to work and told us that the toy had become a man - one helluva man, in fact. A very talented man. A steady man. A man for all seasons - call him Wendel. A man who, in the absence of a usable track after a zillion tries with "real bands", could nicely simulate the most elusive elements of the basic track that we would need to bring our little song into the world, i.e., drums and maybe a simple keyboard part of some sort, and that's all. Because, once we had that - the toy, the man, the track - we could do all the rest with little or no problemo, thank you very much. Unfortunately, at this primitive stage of the evolution of the computer and its requisite software, even the most minute event had to be programmed in the gnarly and unforgiving 8085 Assembly Language, in which all relevant parameters needed to be described in its baffling hexagesimal-base numerical system, which ultimately became the only language Roger Nichols spoke or understood, at least for a time. 352:

towards open source - and I'm saying this as a Linux user all the time when I'm not doing professional audio work. This article has a shocking over-emphasis on Audacity, which arguably isn't even a DAW in any serious sense of the word - being a wave editor and closer to a free version of SoundForge than of something like ProTools, Logic, DP, Sonar or Cubase/Nuendo. The balance in this article is utterly horrible, and if you doubt this it is most certainly YOUR experience of the real world that is lacking. I suggest you get the phone book out and conduct a brief straw-poll of local studios to see what they're using. ProTools is the de-facto industry standard, generally running on Macs but basically being a dedicated hardware platform to itself. On the PC with consumer hardware you're much more likely to see Cubase/Nuendo or Sonar, on the Mac with consumer hardware you can expect to see Logic or occasionally Digital Performer. Ardour you will not see. Audacity you will not see. If you want a citation for that, try looking at this page here:

WENDEL because I own it. I haven't fully reverse-engineered it yet, and I can say with reasonable certainty that it will never work again, but nothing I have learned from the machine itself goes against my many, many comments, the point of which is to say that it isn't a DAW to be listed in the list of NED Synclavier II Sample-to-Disk, AMS AudioFile, WaveFrame AudioFrame, etc., as it is a drum sampling/replacement device, and not a hard disk recorder/DAW. In fact, the first WENDEL (the COMPAL 80 machine, not the CompuPro S-100 machine that I have) didn't even have a hard drive. I presently own more DAWs than anyone who ever stepped on the Earth, so I'm very sharp on the topic. I just want these pages to be right, not a listing of homemade devices, tape recorders and Mac apps, none of which are the first DAWs that need to be listed and described in the history section.--

the end of 1985 didn't have a hard drive. The fifth system (CMI Series III) did have a hard drive, but still wasn't a disk recorder. The original 1985 brochures made no mention of disk recording (because their competitors were doing it and they weren't), and the 1986 brochure only said "...disk recording*...*Due mid 1987" Sure, they released some beta disk recording software and several pages of excuses ("instructions") about why it only did one track without editing or reference to anything such as time code and they laid off the latency on the ESDI drives of that era, but the company closed down, bankrupted, and was liquidated in 1988/1989 without ever coming out with a meaningful hard disk recorder. At least three other companies had hardware-based hard disk recorders by that time.

other users. Moreover, with a nontrivial project it would be pretty difficult to export a file and trust it to sound exactly the same on another OS, since there are going to be subtle differences in the software behavior, hardware timings, availability of VST plugins, etc. I'm not saying that nobody cares about this issue, just that it's vastly overemphasized. I don't even agree that cross-platform support is "obviously" beneficial -- e.g. divides the effort of developers, and it encourages very generic software designs that don't make use of the unique innovations of a particular OS, e.g. advanced GUI controls, clipboard interoperability with other applications, DirectX optimizations, COM/.NET automation, or (in some cases heheh) the right mouse-button.

continuous digital audio to a hard drive in real time and play it back from the hard drive, and it should be computer-based. It should not be recording to tape or RAM. The Soundstream used a computer as an editing controller (and an "oscillioscope", whatever that is); to call this computer + tape recorder a DAW is absurd, like saying that a Sony RM-440 Automatic Editing Control Unit connected to two VTRs is an Avid nonlinear editing system or DAW.

have a narrow perspective on a vast and rapidly evolving field. A Pro Tools user will have little insight into what's "common" among AU format plugins, and so on. I think Knowledge (XXG)'s experience with "list of popular X" articles will bear me out that such lists become a target for everyone who wants to promote their product, and there's no way to assess the quality of the resulting list.

his specific background as commercial software user. There are various research institutions and universities employing and developing free and open source software in the "professional" field, employing instruments that are precise and can be calibrated because open source. Br0d is writing about consumer-grade DAWs and should simply contribute to that section if he feels he knows about.

and AMS AudioFile), none of which were "Apple Mac based". This section is junk, it skips over hardware systems and talks about Mac software, when DAWs were doing hard disk recording on Atari computers before any Apple Mac was doing it. Worse, it is talking about keyboard sample editors that couldn't do continuous audio recording to hard disk, which is the most basic function of a DAW.

1311:

Drummer but not EZDrummer from Toontrack, etc. etc., and few if any of the list items have links to existing, sometimes much better Knowledge (XXG) articles. The answer is not to undertake some heroic job of fixing the list, because the entries are constantly going out of date or being superseded--it's to just get rid of the list.

356:- note the presence of Cubase, Logic, DP, ProTools, and Sonar columns. Note the lack of virtually anything discussed in this article. That's a professional perspective from one of the most well-respected industry magazines. This whole article is shockingly, shockingly biased and quite clearly should have a dispute sign on it. 442: 1178:"2 sections about "Free and Open source" is 2 sections too many" -- is there a reason why? It is common in Knowledge (XXG) to do that, and it benefits people interested in Open Source alternatives to any kind of software. If you consider Linux-based software to not be "real DAW software", please explain why, with 133:

Merging the two just "feels" awkward. -- Guest

That's my position anyway. I realize some people feel passionately that this belongs here, so I won't edit it without some discussion (I have at least alphabetized it, though). But take a look at that list and tell me it represents a high-quality view of the field, or that it ever could. It basically

No, let's review. The first system Fairlight Instruments put together but never really sold (Quasar) didn't have a hard drive. The second system (CMI Series I) didn't have a hard drive. The third system (CMI Series II) didn't have a hard drive. The fourth system (CMI Series IIx), manufactured through

681:

There are a lot of gray areas within the DAW topic, but I think we can all agree that a tape recorder is not a DAW and that a DAW is, at a minimum, by definition, a non-linear random access recorder. It doesn't need to have 10,000 VST plugins to qualify, but, at a minimum, it should be able to record

670:

this article freely intermixes commercially sold DAWs with one-off homemade systems that they have read about but no one has ever seen (i.e. Roger Nichols' homemade Wendel system, our only source on that are the 10,000 mentions Nichols has made of it himself, it was a drum sampler/sequencer and not a

noted). So it just made more sense to put things back the way they were before I created the other category. If anyone can think of a better way to organize this list, by all means do so. I was thinking of making a "single-track" vs "multi-track" list, but I don't know enough about all of the DAWs

243:

Added a few sentences on how U.S. radio industry seems to be moving towards computer-based DAWs. Created a new section entitled "Interface" so that readers have an idea of what the average computer-based DAW looks like (and how it works). It needs a lot of work. Also added links to Adobe Audition,

142:

I started to added to the sections on features. I.e. what is it that a DAW can do? I would like to add more about non-destructive editing, non-linear playback (i.e. jump to any part of the record instaneously), non-real time processing (faster and slower), and 'impossible' or very difficult things do

760:

That's right, nothing, nothing here was sourced, none of the sections had proper spelling/grammar, and it omitted more than it told, as this "history" section didn't have so much as a single mention of the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth DAW/hard disk recorders that existed in audio history.

413:

I have to disagree with the current structure of the Commercial section. The "explanation" of select software platforms is beyond the scope of defining DAW. There should simply be a list that links software titles to pages about the specific software or developer. This would remove the bias, provide

378:

Well, I did say "De-facto" - it's not a formal standard, but if you want to be taking your projects from home into a pro studio it's a pretty safe assumption that you want to be taking them in as ProTools project files. Sort of like Microsoft's .doc and .xls file formats - not an official standard,

1310:

And it quickly becomes obsolete. Take a look: it includes Camel Audio Alchemy, which no longer exists as a standalone product, it includes one product (Iris) out of many from Izotope (no Ozone or RX), a random subset from Native Instruments (no Guitar Rig) and IK Multimedia (no Amplitube), Superior

384:

I'm also sure universities do represent a large portion of the DAW using world, as I work at one myself and we have around 50 machines each running Logic Pro 7, which is a lot of licenses. We also have a couple of Pro Tools suites. If you think about how many universities there are that run courses

Note to Wamnet, I'm the original poster of the two paragraphs criticizing the history section here. Are these links and references you have listed for me? If so, thanks, but they aren't needed. First, I haven't ever doubted the existence of WENDEL, and second, I REALLY don't doubt the existence of

It goes on to say "...Donald Fagen's 1982 album, The Nightfly." Check that source, it does NOT have that information in it! This is false and it is vandalism! That SOS article does not even contain "1981" in it, yet it is given as the source of "In 1981, recording engineer Roger Nichols built...".

687:

This article jumps from Roger Nichols' never-sold drum sampler/sequencer to "At the late 1980s" and describes a lot of Mac software, saying "DAWs were Apple Mac based". That jumps over several years there, and, in 1989, there were at least three DAWs (NED Direct-to-Disk, WaveFrame AudioFrame 1000,

Um, this is rather silly. Some research institutions and universities are employing open source? Great! Call me when research institutions and universities represent any kind of serious percentage of the DAW-using world and I'll consider that relevant. This article is horribly, horribly biased

341:

Second, the list itself just invites arbitrariness and abuse. Without any sourcing about which plugins are common, or indeed what "common" means, it becomes simply a vehicle for whoever is enthusiastic about a particular plugin to ride that hobby horse. Even the most experienced user of DAWs will

1302:

The sections on plugins, especially the list of "common plugins" are really bad, unfixably so, for several reasons. First, they're off-topic in an article on DAWs themselves. The topic deserves its own article, or several, detailing the various plugin formats, but here it's just noise distracting

1064:

The "Commercial Systems" section mentions cross-platform portability *twelve* times, which implies that this is a primary concern of people shopping for DAW software. I find this rather strange -- AFAIK the majority of people work solo and wouldn't be trying to exchange sequencer data files with

933:

In 1981, recording engineer Roger Nichols built his own digital audio workstation using a S-100 bus-based computer with 32 MB hard disk used for storage of digital audio data. It interfaced digitally to a multi-track digital audio tape recorder in his studio, and was used during the recording and

269:

Commercial DAWs don't necessarily offer more things than open-source DAWs - yet in recent times it starts being true the contrary: open source DAWs offer more than commercial ones, and there are also commercial DAWs employing free and open source software. In fact the commercial attribute doesn't

256:

Some readers might want to know if there are commercially-available DAWs that don't cost quite as much as the more professional (and expensive) DAWs like Audition and Pro Tools. So I added a section entitled "Commercially-available PC-Based DAWs for under $ 100 US." This should hopefully help

923:

Please stop shoveling deleted trash back into this article!!! It is unsourced and it is wrong. Whoever moved this garbage "History" section to the bottom and renamed it "Early history", butt out! You know nothing about it. How can a section be named "Early history", yet fail to name the first,

324:

Why are people still paying for commercial DAWs then? Please let's not lean this toward an OSS/proprietary debate. I think you'd find that although open source has come a long way, if you did a feature by feature breakdown comparing major commercial DAWs to open source one's you'd find that

132:

Agreed. Two different types of products, aimed at different (largely overlapping, sure, but still different) markets. Software DAW is a sequencer, software for nonlienar audio editing and production, a sound design platform, postproduction/mastering platform.. Hardware music workstations in

556:

I don't feel it's necessary to detail individual software programs. It would be more effective to list EVERY platform and link these names to other Knowledge (XXG) articles. As it currently stand the "Comerical" section is a mess with incomplete information and a noticable bias regarding

74:

Much of the discussion on open-source DAWs seems to be slanted against open source. Being something of an OSS zealot myself, I've tried to straighten it out, but I fear all I've created is a mishmosh of opposing viewpoints, not a true NPOV entry. Anyone else want to take a hack at that?

294:? This might make this section seem less like an advertisement. If there are still objections, I can still merge the "under $ 100" list back into the main "Commercially-available Mac and PC-based DAW" list - and not make any distinctions at all (the way it was originally). 628:

This ection being as is, it should at least be properly srted either by DAW name or by company / daw, mixing "Ableton Live" and "Steinberg Cubase" with "Nuendo" and "REAPER" is ridiculous. I sorted it once, but don't know why it was reverted to this incoherent listing.

Agreed. The Common instrument plug-ins section is just a list of what ever plugins someone wants to add. The first paragraph is not bad, but it is also not very informative. No mention of different plugin APIs or how a plugin integrates with the DAW.

664:

this article refers to tape recorders as if they were DAWs that were commercially sold (i.e. Soundstream, it was a TAPE RECORDER and they sold 7 of them, and two of those were to the government, this is hardly studio equipment that anyone ever bought or

Well, I've tried to tidy this up a bit, and I've shoved it down the bottom because it's pretty clear that these earlier system were far away from the current understanding. Hopefully somone can improve on this - or maybe it really does Just Need to Go

507:

Why is Sound Forge and CoolEdit in the list of DAWs? They are not DAWs except in perhaps the most stretched definition. They are wave editors. Same would probably go for SAW, but I'm not as familiar with that program so I couldn't be sure about that.

968:

The most effective way to keep the unsourced garbage out is to displace it with good stuff. I do however empathize with your assessment of this article. I've removed some garbage from the lead and I've tagged the article as needing references.

I can't do it because I am in the business and it will come out biased and possibly omit a lot of crappy software packages for Atari and other platforms that might be historically relevant, but too low-end for me to have ever worked with.
