n-Track Studio
n-Track Studio is a digital audio workstation for recording, editing, and mixing music, with versions for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. It can record and play back a virtually unlimited number of audio and MIDI tracks. For MIDI work, the Piano Roll edits data and the Step Sequencer creates beats, sequences, and arpeggios. AI MixSplit separates full songs into individual tracks. Desktop software supports VST, VST3, CLAP, DirectX on Windows, AU on Mac, and ReWire effects. It also imports and exports DAWproject files for sharing work between DAWs, and recordings can be exchanged between desktop and mobile editions for further editing and mixing. The free edition allows up to 24 tracks, limits AI MixSplit to 15 seconds, and limits WAV/MP3 mixdown to 16-bit, among other limits. The site offers a manual, video tutorials, a forum, and customer support. Suite+ is listed at $109 a year and includes access across Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.
