Its interface included a control surface with motorized faders, a compact video monitor, and a keyboard input.The SD-12 was popular among professionals in the music industry due to its high-quality sound, user-friendly interface, and extensive feature set. It also facilitated collaboration through multichannel digital audio streaming and networking capabilities.Although the SD-12 was eventually replaced by more advanced DAWs, such as the Pro Tools | HDX and Pro Tools | HD Native systems, it remains a vintage and collectible piece of music technology history. Many modern DAWs still draw inspiration and functionality from this pioneering digital audio workstation.
