Built for the work between idea and mix
YADAW keeps the timeline, mixer, instruments, and project archive in one inspectable workspace—without an account or subscription between you and your music.
What works today
A practical foundation for real sessions.
MIDI
Arrange notes beside audio.
Import MIDI, place clips on the timeline, and shape notes in the docked piano roll without leaving the arrangement.
MIX
Route, meter, and process.
Balance channels, create sends and buses, and host VST3 effects in a supervised audio process designed to contain plug-in failures.
The project is yours
No cloud gate.
No opaque service.
