It must have been early 90s, i had an IBM AT-Clone with yellow Monitor and got myself a CMS-101-Midi-Card with a software called PRISM. DOS only it had a windows-based graphical interface and was quite powerful at that time.
Shortly after that i switched to WIN and Passport-Software TRAX......
Man, i do feel old now.....

I'm not sure if that counts as a DAQ, but...A 386 with Impulse Tracker when I was 15. That's how I got into music production back in 1995.

Actually my very first music software was 'Wham The Music Box' on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum in 1985. Does this count as a DAW?

(1997) Custom 486DX 100, Gravis Ultrasound card running Master Tracks Pro - Used for sequencing a Roland XP-10, which i returned for an Alesis QS6. Such MIDI headaches back then.

Most of the things listed here, including part of my post, are midi sequencers.

The first computer I would consider as a DAW (native recording/processing of audio and midi) was 1998:
Intel Pentium MMX 200Mhz
64 Meg Ram
20 Gig Hard Drive
Nvidia graphics
Turtle Beach sound
OS: Win98
I ran Cubase VST24. Could not really act as a live studio. I often resorted to Cool Edit Pro just to be able to record multiple tracks.
What is crazy is that within 3 years the specs had blown that out of the water:
Intel Pentium 1.6ghz
4 gb Ram (only about 3gb usable)
500GB Hard Drive
M-Audio 24/96
Cubase SX1, Reason, and honestly the first REAL DAW and PC...

A ZX Spectrum did not have MIDI, all the audio came out of the computer's internal speaker (which sounded like crap). So technically it was a digital audio workstationfelis wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 12:32 amNope - Digital AUDIO Workstation.Reefius wrote: ↑Thu Dec 06, 2018 3:57 pm Actually my very first music software was 'Wham The Music Box' on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum in 1985.

Similar, my band Systems Collapse in SF CA during the 80's had a Mac + with MOTU Performer 1.0 running an Ensoniq Mirage and that editor. We bought a rack mount Mirage as soon as they came out. saved for months to get it etc.
