 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. The following list are DAW (digital audio workstation) apps.

 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. The following list are audio editing apps.

 +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).
