-===== Multitrack Recording and Mixing Systems =====
+\\
-This page lists all digital audio workstations, capable of recording and mixing audio.
+\\
+===== DAW =====
+The following list are DAW (digital audio workstation) apps. A DAW allows you to record/overdub numerous "tracks" of audio, synchronized and mixed down (typically to 2 channel stereo). You can typically mute or solo, and apply effects, per each individual track.

+===== Audio Editors =====
+The following list are audio editing apps. Unlike a DAW, the audio editor doesn't deal with mixing/synchronizing numerous audio tracks. Instead, it concentrates upon editing a single audio file (typically mono or stereo). Because of this precise dedication, it usually allows more fine-tuned editing of the actual waveform than a DAW does. (But some DAWs are more like editors, such as Audacity.) Typically, the waveform is graphically displayed whereby you can zoom in/out, and use the mouse to mark an excerpt for processing.

+===== Basic recording =====
+The following list are simple audio recording apps. They typically don't display the waveform, nor have elaborate editing. Some may not even have a graphical user interface, and should instead be run from a terminal window (command line).

+===== Basic playback =====
+The following list are simple audio playback apps. They typically don't display the waveform, nor do recording. Some may not even have a graphical user interface. Most support numerous audio file formats, and some play video files too.
