Laser-focused on music production
Many DAWs try to be everything to everyone. They're packed to the gills with features aimed at film scoring, post-production, live sound, DJ-ing, and more. Waveform doesn't go down that road — it's designed solely for modern music production. Because it avoids unnecessary features, Waveform's workflow is creative, inspirational, and intuitive. And best of all, it's a lot of fun!
Jump-start your creativity with inspiring composition tools
One thing was clear when we demoed Waveform here at Sweetwater: when you sit down with this DAW, it makes you want to make music. In fact, its MIDI composition tools practically beg you to create something. Even non-trained enthusiasts will enjoy the creation process, thanks to tools that demystify complex musical structures. Dive into chord progressions with matching bass-lines, melodies, and arpeggios with Waveform's synchronized pattern generators. Songwriters with limited piano skills will find the real-time chord generators incredibly useful. When you compose with Waveform, your instrumental abilities won't restrict your creative flow.
Craft incredible sounds with powerful sampling and synthesis
Waveform includes Collective, an impressive software sampler/synthesizer. Collective generates a vast array of useful sounds that cover the full gamut of musical genres. There are 600 presets to get you started and plenty of parameters on hand for sculpting your own unique sounds. You can use the included sample library or load your own. Whether you want to forge otherworldly textures using synthesis or keep your feet on the ground with traditional samples — Collective tackles either brilliantly.
Modular mixer creates customizable, super-fast workflows
Waveform's expanded modular mixer can be separated from the main window to take advantage of multi-screen setups. Switch from editing to mixing and back with ease, thanks to Waveform's customizable interface. You can also build limitless effects chains and save/recall them as presets using this software's powerful racks environment. Waveform's modular mixer makes music creation fast and intuitive.
BioTek provides first-class sample-and-synthesis sound design
The Ultimate version of Waveform includes Tracktion's popular BioTek software synthesizer. One trek through its tag-based preset library and you'll know why people in the know consider BioTek to be an essential part of their soft synth rig. The main oscillation source comes from an extensive collection of unique stereo sampled sounds including natural, urban, and mechanical environments. When you combine them with BioTek's 24 synthesizer controls — all accessible from a simple user interface — you'll discover an endless capacity for creative sound creation.
