A DAW is an all-in-one tool for composing, recording, arranging, mixing, and more. There are several factors that make this coupling necessary - the high performance requirements of DSP, the lack of better standards, and subject matter expertise. To innovate in the space, we need an ecosystem of interoperable tools which can be used seamlessly to perform the same tasks reliably. I think of the paradigm shift between apache http server and nodejs. Does the server run the code or does the code run the server? If DAWs switched to the nodejs model, what would be the entry point?
