About

Waveform is a rapidly evolving application specifically designed for the needs of modern music producers. Specializing in creative and inspirational workflows and avoiding features not explicitly needed to allow the app to remain surprisingly fun and intuitive. While other apps try to appeal to broad user groups, for example film score, live sound, performance – we are laser focused on music production. Waveform Pro introduces the Arranger Track, a remarkably simple yet powerful tool for manipulating regions of your arrangement. Simply create an arrange clip in the arranger track to control the entire region of your arrangement. The arranger track has contemporary features such as magnetic movement, commonly found in video editors, that automatically open and close regions of the arrangement based on your selections. Experimenting with your arrangement and song structure has never been easier.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Best DAW ever! It's easy to use, has so many features that you will never use, has a great design, active support and very cheap! 10/10!
  • Reaper in comparison to Cubase is very stable and CPU efficient. The total download installation for windows 10 64 bit is 14Mb, which is indicative of it's efficient coding and also reflects that reaper doesn't come with sample libraries. What it does come with, is a set of mixing, mastering and creative effects that can do those jobs well, eg multiband compressor, limiter, compressor, delay, impulse response reverb, eq. These effects are nearly on a par with fab filter in terms of features and tweakability but lack the sophisticated gui. There is also a large library of user designed effects all of which are freely available. Reaper is unique in it's ability to let the user write custom actions that carry out many different steps and to loop them. This makes some jobs much quicker on Reaper than other DAWs. Reaper is also unique in its use of tracks - there is only one type of track - and anything audio/midi/video can be placed on the same track. It also has unique routing flexibility, any track can be routed to any other. As well as setting up busses via routing, there is a folder system which does something very similar with much fewer mouse clicks. Reaper will run just about any kind of effect including legacy 32 bit, with efficient and stable automatic bridging. I am amazed at other DAWs, that won't accept several different fx formats. Reaper is great value, £60 gets you a full licence with frequent updates, before that, they offer the full version for trial, with no limitations other than a short nag screen. It frustrates me that some commentators think this low price is indicative of a DAW inferior to more expensive ones. This not the case. It simply represents the best value for money out any purchase I have ever made.

Cons

  • I don't want to say anything bad about this DAW. But I will say, that it's not popular enough. It's underrated yo!
  • Reaper does not come laden with sample libraries and VSTi's. Reaper's fx are fully functional but lack sophisticated GUI's. MIDI editing is fully and comprehensively supported, but other DAW's have better looking MIDI editors. Beat detection is not as straight forward as some other DAW's

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I write and record music mostly for myself, but sometimes I collaborate on the Internet with other musicians. I've used Cakewalk, Reason, Logic Pro, and that brings me to Waveform, because I like working with Linux, Windows, and Mac. Waveform works well on all of them. I like using it, and it has it's own versioning built in, so that you can save things along the way. It does everything I've needed from it.

Cons

  • I don't like that the width of the screen changes if I absently for get and try to scroll down. I'm sure there's a way to set things, but it is annoying.
