Add return and group tracks for the mix and you have every track type in a DAW. AI DAWs blur the lines by turning recordings into notes and splitting a mix into new audio tracks.

Audio is a recording of sound waves: what you hear is fixed in the file. MIDI is a list of notes and how to play them, with no sound until an instrument plays it, so every note can be changed later. That difference decides how you edit, what you can export, and which AI music tools hand you something you can actually work on.
