What is a Digital Audio Workstation?

A digital audio workstation (DAW) is an electronic system designed to record, edit and play back digital audio. A key feature of DAWs is the ability to freely manipulate recorded sounds. Many DAWs, especially computer-based DAWs, have MIDI recording, editing, and playback capabilities.

The term "DAW" simply refers to a general combination of audio multitrack software and high-quality audio hardware — the latter being a specialized audio converter unit which performs some variety of analog-to-digital (ADC) and/or digital-to-analog (DAC) signal conversion. For example, a workstation could have eight discrete audio inputs, and two or more audio outputs for playback monitoring or routing signal to other devices. Systems can have as few as two mono inputs and outputs; the discrete audio inputs and outputs provide for simultaneous multitracking dual mono sources or stereo recording. A professional DAC performs the same function as a common sound card, but is generally of higher quality and offers sonic or functional advantages when compared with its consumer cousin.

The term DAW, generally refers to complex computer systems which have high-quality external ADC-DAC hardware, and some form of audio software; some of which is commercial proprietary software. Besides having high-end Audio Interfaces most DAWs also require huge amounts of RAM, fast CPU(s) and sufficient free hard drive space.



Server Grade Motherboard Performance & Reliability

We utilize only the finest SMP (Symmetrical Muti Processor) Server/Workstation Motherboard Solutions from Super Micro for all of our Custom Engineered DAW Solution builds. We do this for a very good reason because it’s not how much Brute Force Power any given Processor posses it’s the way the Processor or Processor’s communicate with the System Memory Architecture. This is usually the most over looked critical factor and biggest mistake people make when purchasing a Custom Built Digital Audio Workstation solution.



Raw Computational Power House Processors

The AMD Opteron Processor has been a time tested & proven computational power house and performer for custom Digital Audio Workstations for years now due to the CPU's onboard memory controller that resides in the CPU itself. Direct communication with the systems Memory Architecture ensures that there is less bottlenecks when high I/O ( input-output ) requests are made, this creates a overall more responsive system that is less prone to lag and stutter and system lock ups and ensures a trouble free computing environment when using multiple plug ins when pre-mastering.




DDR2 667/533/400 ECC Ram Tecnology

We utilize only Kingston ECC Server Grade Memory in our Professional Digital Audio Workstations. Our Supermicro AMD solution Motherboards are able to support from 16GB up to 64GB of ECC Memory.




Enterprise Level Dedicated Hardware Raid Controllers

A dedicated True Hardware Raid Controller has distinct advantages above all other forms of Data Back Up Solutions and is in a class of its own and should strongly be considered when Data Integrity and Availability is a must. Not only does it provide a robust Safety Net in preventing Data Loss of Mission Critical information that we and our customers rely on to keep our Business on Track and running smoothly, it also has many key advantages over Software Raid (Fake Raid) in terms of sheer speed and enterprise level reliability & data integrity safeguarding it also allows for much greater scalability.
