    Intuitive workflow, stable, powerful, customizable, open source

    Date: Nov 11 2025

    Summary: An excellent multi-platform open source DAW that is the foundation for the commercial software Harrison Mixbus

    Positive: I really like the workflow and gui- very intuitive- signal flow mimics an analog mixing console. My primary usage is with Ubuntu (Linux) but I have used the Windows version also.

    Negative: Nothing significant comes to mind- I've not yet hit a roadblock or wtf moment after several years of use, releasing a handful of songs along the way.
