Do you say DAW or D-A-W?

D-A-W seems like such effort. I've always called it a DAW.

I don't say either. Nobody who I actually speak to would have the faintest idea what I was talking about either way.

Yeah, very few people know what I'm talking about when I say "Daw"....   I'll wager most think I'm trying to do a Homer Simpson imitation and rather poorly.  
 
So I just say "recording studio"  ... a bit longer but at least they know what I'm talking about.

If you say D-A-W, they think you're referring to the Lispic chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

This is what I call it.  It also sounds more impressive than "the laptop in my spare bedroom."

Like Herb, most people I talk to have no idea what a DAW is. I refer to it as "the software I use to make records". Even most bass players grasp the general concept.


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

P.S. Herb, some arcane trivia just for you: a guy with the same surname as you invented the dynamic microphone. 
 
That's pretty cool, I think. The only inventor with my surname came up with...crop rotation.
 
Oh, I forgot about the other one: the windmill guitar strumming technique. Different distant relative.
