Mike, The phrase comes from TV land when two- and three-tape-machine editors began being called linear editors as you assembled things linearly from the start. All of our audio editors that I'm aware of: Audition, Samplitude, ProTools, are all NLE (non-linear editors) by this definition. This has nothing to do with transfer functions, but rather human interface and operating modes.
