Description
SoundCraft is a free and open-source digital audio workstation designed for tasks such as recording, editing, arranging, and mixing sound. Its editing interface accommodates multitrack arrangements, playlists, comping, fades, and tempo mapping, while the mixing interface features channel strips, buses, sends, automation, and support for plugins. Users can capture both audio and MIDI, edit MIDI through piano-roll and score views, import various audio formats, and export mixes or individual tracks. The software is compatible with CLAP, VST3, and Audio Unit plugins, and offers a command-line interface, JSON control channel, and MCP server for executing scripts and commands via AI agents. Native versions are available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, and there are also documented releases for FreeBSD and a WebAssembly version that runs in browsers. Targeted towards audio engineers, musicians, producers, and developers engaged in music production, recording, mixing, soundtracks, or other multitrack audio projects, SoundCraft is currently in its pre-alpha stage, with ongoing development efforts. The evolving nature of the software indicates that it may continue to introduce new features and improvements in future updates.
