Because "tracks" are symbolic in the digital medium, multitrack systems could have only a pair of mono inputs and outputs — the discrete audio inputs and outputs provide for simultaneous multitracking capability, whereas limited inputs require audio mixing or later overdubbing.
Audio on the system was stored on Digital RP04 disk pack drives connected to the 11/60, with the audio being transferred onto the drives digitally from Soundstream's digital audio tape recorders of their own design, using a special tape-to-disk interface also of the company's own design.
Perhaps the most significant feature available on a DAW that is not available in analogue recording (some other forms of digital recording do have this) is the ability to 'undo' a previous action, which makes it much easier to avoid accidentally erasing or recording over a previous recording.

 Digital audio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Digital to analogue conversion (DAC) - the conversion of digital audio to a line level signal for playback or distribution.
In the early days of digital audio, the only practical storage device with sufficient bandwidth and storage space was a video recorder and these were adapted to store the digital signal, usually by interfacing said video recorder to a PCM adaptor.
Commercial digital recording of classical and jazz music began in the early 1970s, pioneered by Japanese companies such as Denon and British record label Decca (who in the mid-70s developed digital audio recorders of their own design for mastering of their albums), although experimental recordings exist from the 1960s.

 Digital audio workstation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first ever system to function as a digital audio workstation was first developed by Soundstream Inc. in the late 1970s.
Audio on the system was stored on Digital RP04 disk pack drives connected to the 11/60, with the audio being transferred onto the drives digitally from Soundstream's digital audio tape recorders of their own design, using a special Unibus tape-to-disk interface also of the company's own design.

First-generation workstations were configured around a single or networked minicomputers that handled the digitization of audio sources; vectoring of the resultant 16/20/24-bit data to internal memory; hard-disk or optical storage; retrieval for real-time edit location, mixing and/or processing; and then replay of the manipulated audio from fixed or removable media.
In this way, the central workstation controller (usually a Mac or PC computer) can be optimized for graphics display of the various recording, mixing and editing functions, while a series of high-speed “sub-engines” can perform the real-time audio processing, manipulation and timecode syn-chronization functions required for today's complex sound and audio-for-multimedia productions.
Now, how did we arrive at this current DAW landscape, blossoming as it is with vibrant systems of all varieties—and, let’s face it, littered with the dry bones of now-extinct DAWs that could not evolve with sufficient speed.

 Digital Audio Workstation - The Evolution
The roots for the DAW started from the commercial needs for precise control of audio on computers; government funded speech research, commercial telephone research, and University computer music synthesis centers.
Early microcomputers were inexpensive relative to minis and mainframes, but lacked the disk speed to record or process digital audio at professional sampling rates.
The first professional quality direct-to-disk Digital Audio Workstation with 16-bit dynamics converters on a microcomputer was shown by MTU at the 1979 at the West Coast Computer Faire in Los Angeles, CA.

 Audio computer digital workstation accessories for computer digital audio recording systems
Add-ons may ease life in the DAW lane, but what workstation users really crave is power and speed — and lots of it.
DAW software and the way it integrates with the CPU, OS, various plug-ins and I/O devices forms an extremely intricate, complex system where the slightest incompatibility at any link in the chain can occasionally have disastrous and extremely difficult-to-diagnose results.
Digital devices may not offer the adventure of recapping an input module or the joy of hearing the difference when you swap a Sylvania for a Mullard 12AX7, but with a little customizing, you can replace digital's “one-size-fits-all” approach for a system that is tailored to the way you want to work.

Eventually, The Synclavier migrated from being a musical instrument into a full-on digital production environment; its combination of sampling/digital synthesis and disk-based recoding and playback was a remarkable success.
It provided sampling and digital synthesis, a technology that would lead eventually to hard-disk recording systems and the current MFX-Series digital audio workstations.
Now musical data could be scanned, stored and then initiated from a computer-based system, and even integrated with audio recording — the DAW suddenly grew an extra limb.

 Waves Education: An introduction to Digital Audio Workstation
The fact is that the current evolution in Digital Audio Engineering travels so fast that an investment in a dedicated hardware box seems to be a luxurious one, but not wise.
Once properly digitized, all major audio production can be done in a digital environment, with the top of the analog quality as a starting point.
This forces designers to add filters to their designs, filters that are transparent for the passing audio and limit any high frequencies exceeding the 22 kHz limit.
