Waveform, previously known as Tracktion,[3] is a digital audio workstation for recording and editing audio and MIDI. The software is cross-platform, and runs on Apple macOS, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Raspberry Pi. It is freemium software, offering a free version with standard features (Waveform Free) and a paid version with more advanced features and additional content (Waveform Pro).[4] It also offers paid feature expansion packs with selections of features from the paid version.[5]
Tracktion was developed by independent UK designer/programmer Julian Storer and was released in 2002 by UK-based Raw Material Software.[6] In 2004, US-based Mackie, a division of LOUD Technologies specializing in studio recording and live sound products, took over the distribution of Tracktion.[7] It was sold in standalone, boxed retail versions and bundled with Mackie, Tapco, and Echo Audio computer-audio interfaces and digital-capable mixing boards.
Around the late 2000s/early 2010s, although no official word came from Mackie, the users' understanding was that Tracktion had been discontinued as the company had issued no updates, communication, or announcements on it since January 2008. However, at the January 2013 NAMM Show, Tracktion's original developer Julian Storer announced he had reacquired control of the software and would continue developing Tracktion with his new Tracktion Software Corporation.[8]
In 2017, Tracktion Software Corporation rebranded the DAW to be called Waveform.[3]
Waveform was designed to be transparent and intuitive. Track object controls and parameters are context-sensitive; effects, MIDI instruments, and other software objects can be added to tracks or applied directly to individual audio and MIDI clips using a drag-and-drop system of filters. Complex chains of filters can be created, stored, and recalled for later use as rack effects, analogous to a saved channel strip settings in a traditional DAW/sequencer.[9]
Waveform, as Tracktion, represented a move away from the modal dialog boxes, multiple menus, and cluttered windows common to legacy MIDI sequencers and digital audio workstations, in favor of a streamlined, single-screen approach that presented the user with minimal options at any time. In this way, Waveform is similar to Ableton Live, but while the latter has two separate work areas (Session and Arrange), Waveform has fully context-sensitive windows that automatically appear or hide depending on the current task or can be manually togged. Both are also noted for their more abstract visual styles, in contrast to the photorealistic style of other interfaces (like Reason) which imitate the appearance of real world recording equipment and effects units.
It also supports user customization of keyboard shortcuts, coding custom shortcuts,[10] and modifying the color scheme,[11] similar to Cockos’s REAPER.
The underlying C++ code developed to create Tracktion's graphic and audio capabilities was later released as an open-source library, JUCE.[12]

Cubase is a digital audio workstation (DAW) developed by Steinberg for music and MIDI recording, arranging and editing. The first version, which was originally only a MIDI sequencer and ran on the Atari ST computer, was released in 1989. Cubase often comes with electronic instruments.
A digital audio workstation (DAW ) is an electronic device or application software used for recording, editing and producing audio files. DAWs come in a wide variety of configurations, from a single software program on a laptop, to an integrated stand-alone unit, all the way to a highly complex configuration of numerous components controlled by a central computer. Regardless of configuration, modern DAWs have a central interface that allows the user to alter and mix multiple recordings and tracks into a final produced piece. DAWs are used for producing and recording music, songs, speech, radio, television, soundtracks, podcasts, sound effects and nearly every other kind of complex recorded audio.
Adobe Audition is a digital audio workstation developed by Adobe Inc. featuring both a multitrack, non-destructive mix/edit environment and a destructive-approach waveform editing view.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
