Default Audio Editor vs. DAW: Whats the Difference?

It depends on your definition of "DAW." Taken literally, a couple of
video cassette decks, a PCM converter, and a video editor slightly
customized for audio editing formed a digital audio workstation. But
there aren't many of us here who were around and working in audio at the
time, so it's easy to dismiss anything that came before software on a
general purpose computer as "not a DAW."
