Overview

SoundCraft is ArtCraft's open source digital audio workstation. It has multitrack audio and MIDI editing, a mixing console, automation, built-in effects, and CLAP plugin support.

About

SoundCraft is built around separate editing and mixing views. You can arrange audio and MIDI tracks, route them through inserts and sends, automate levels and effects, and work with a piano roll and notation tools. The app also includes its own processors and supports CLAP plugins. ArtCraft offers installers for macOS, Windows, and Linux, along with a browser build and a WebAssembly package for self-hosting. Audio hardware, plugin compatibility, and session exchange matter a lot in a studio, so test your setup before committing a project to it.

Good for

  • — Recording and arranging multitrack audio and MIDI.
  • — Trying a free mixing workflow with automation and effects.
  • — Using CLAP plugins in an open source audio app.

Limitations

  • — Check your audio interface, plugins, and session workflow before relying on it.
  • — Pro Tools session import is not listed by ArtCraft.
