Hi, sorry yeah DAW a.k.a. Digital Audio Workstation is just a fancy name for audio recording and mixing software. A bit like an old control room with mixing desk and tape machine and outboard audio hardware, but all on a PC in software.
Other examples are Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Ardour, Cubase etc.
Thanks for explaining the rest. My comment was very targeted at people who might have already used Winamp and AVS 20 years ago.

One funny thing - even though the Winamp website is long gone and changed completely, the original forums are still running: http://forums.winamp.com http://forums.winamp.com
They're up to nearly two million posts. Many people there have been posting for two decades.
- lproven 4y agoThanks! Re the forums -- I think I recall a comic about this phenomenon. I thought it was an XKCD, but I can't find it. Product forums that keep on going, decades after the product ceased to exist, all hanging by the thread that somebody, somewhere forgot to cancel the payment for web hosting...
- Nition 4y agoI'm pretty sure the XKCD comic you're thinking of was originally inspired by the hidden Starship Titanic "employee forum", which is a great story in itself.

- lproven 4y agoThat's it! Well remembered!
