When you run the software for the first time after installing it, you’ll see a notification that it’s running in demo mode, but don’t worry – click ‘Unlock…’ then enter the address and password you set earlier, and all the features will become available.
Note that Before you can download the software, you’ll be prompted to enter an email address and password to create an account. Waveform Free also features an unlimited number of audio and MIDI tracks, all depending on your hardware capabilities of course, and is able to host multiple plugin formats including VST and Audio Units. The latest version to have its price tag shaved off its Waveform Free.Įvery section is scalable, so you can adjust to suit your workflow and the bottom panel changes to to display whichever parameters you've selected elsewhere on the screen. You might not get all the latest features, but you'll receive an update each time the company updates its flagship DAW, which it does almost yearly.
The convention seems to be to make the version two iterations before the current one available to download without charge.
The folks at Tracktion seem to have hit on a rather canny business model by releasing older versions of their DAW for free, with nothing taken out.
