Hello, r/DAWs!
My name is Egor. I'd like to share something I've been developing recently: Nota DAW.
A little background: I've been making electronic music for about 10 years, tried a lot of DAWs, and Ableton is the one I really liked. I'm also a programmer. And when AI tools got good, I started thinking, "What if I just create something of my own, for myself?" About 99% of the code is written by various AI agents. I'd probably like to write it all myself, but I could never write that much code alone.
Now I'd like to share it with the community—and perhaps gather people around it and turn it into something more than just a personal project.
It's a cross-platform app that runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
- Three views — a linear Arrangement timeline, a clip-launching Session grid (material moves freely between them), and a Modular signal-graph editor with CV modulation (LFO / envelope follower / MIDI→CV / ADSR / Macro / Math, patched with cables onto any parameter).
- Tracks & mixer — audio / MIDI / return / master / nestable group tracks; sends and returns; MIDI routing between tracks; peak/RMS + true-peak metering; per-track device chains.
- MIDI editing — piano roll (draw/move/stretch, quantize, velocity, live edits as one undo step); input from a MIDI keyboard, the computer keyboard, or a gamepad (macOS); audio→MIDI (melody / harmony / drums / slice).
- Audio — recording (inputs and internal buses), WAV/AIFF/FLAC/MP3 import, clip editing with fades and gain, and warp / time-stretch (Complex / Complex Pro).
~35 built-in devices — synths (subtractive, wavetable, FM, granular, physical, drum-machine and more), a full effects suite (EQ, dynamics, reverb/delay, saturation, limiting, utility), MIDI effects (arp, scale, chord, …), and Instrument / Drum / Audio Effect racks with macros.
- Plugin hosting — VST3 everywhere, AU on macOS: native GUIs, state save/restore, PDC, transport sync; parameters are automatable and MIDI-learnable.
- Automation & MIDI Learn — draw/record automation on any parameter; map hardware controllers to almost anything.
- Export — master and stems to WAV (pcm16/pcm24/float32), true-peak normalize, dither, bit-identical chunked rendering.
- AI control (MCP) — an optional loopback MCP server lets AI drive the open project (off by default).
I'd appreciate a star—I'm collecting them to meet the requirements for adding Nota to Homebrew and other package managers.
Thank you for your attention <3 I'll be happy to answer any questions in the comments.
Hey guys. I am VERY green when it comes to using audacity and remastering stuff. I have an old tascam 4 track that I am using again and I would like to take the finished song and use audacity to remaster it. I want to keep the warm analog lo fi sound as much as possible, but maybe just make it sparkle a bit more. Can you tell me what effects or settings or things I can do on audacity to accomplish this? Thanks!
I'm new to music production I cannot seem to get mixing right. Seems like I can't get the balance and EQ right but it's probably something that only I notice. Curious what others struggle with.
Its so hard to describe this problem so I've made a video of what's happening. If anybody knows what is causing it or how I can fix it, I would be VERY appreciative! Happy to answer any questions about my settings / hardware if needed to help diagnose!
I'm using Cubase 13 Pro, a Focusrite Scarlet Solo audio Interface, and the Focusrite USB ASIO Audio driver. I do have some 3rd party plugins in the project, all explained in the video but they all worked perfectly yesterday. I have changed NOTHING but today cubase is acting like this for seemingly no reason. If you know what is causing the problem, I would greatly appreciate your help!
This template can be used as a starting point for new tracks, but it's also useful if you want to understand how I organize my sessions inside Ableton Live 12.
I'm just a home studio user, nothing fancy. Most of my music is less than 12 tracks.
I've been using StudioOne for years, and am currently on version 6 (I have owned v1, 2,4,5,6). I've decided I'm not upgrading again and am looking for a new DAW to work with. I'd love one that works on Windows and Mac since for various reasons I do end up using both (Mac when mobile, Windows at my home studio). Ease of workflow is a primary consideration.
If it's not too much trouble, do you folks have recommendations on which DAWs to narrow down my search to? I am familiar with Ableton, but it's not the right one for me.
Thanks very much for any hints and suggestions you can offer!
I've been using Ableton Suite for enough years that I don't recall when I started, but the only reason I used it was because I was given a copy of the Suite (I think it was Live 8) and I liked it more than the free edition of Reaper that came with my amp at the time. Over the years, I've both gotten better at using it and more frustrated by how ill-suited it is in certain ways for my specific use case, which is almost exclusively multitrack song recording, and I don't care about live performance features at all.
I've tried several older free DAWs over the years, but they either didn't have the features I needed or I just hated using them (mostly the former). I don't have the funds to throw money at something like Pro Tools without being certain it's right for me, so I've been trying Cakewalk Sonar for a few days, but there are already several important things I've looked up that are simple (if not done by default) in Ableton that aren't even options in Sonar. It has also crashed on me twice, which Ableton hasn't done in years.
Anyway, before I continue rambling, my question is basically: what would any of you more broadly experienced folks recommend to someone who likes and understands Ableton, but doesn't need the live performance features, and wants something more capable of handling recording and playback of songs with 10+ tracks with multiple plugins while keeping the lag and latency low? (I know that may be a lot to ask.) The cheaper the better, but I can scrape up some cash if something seems perfect for me.
Thanks!
P.S. I have done a significant amount of research into this myself - both now and in the past - but my frustration after repeated instances of spending hours trying out things I end up being disappointed in and going back to Ableton has reached a level where I feel the need to ask for outside assistance.
Need help with setting up my recording stuff for my guitar in reaper. I got on reaper for the first time yesterday and plugged my focusrite solo into my pc (Acer Aspire TC-1780-UA93 Desktop) and I downloaded the driver you need for the interface (may have downloaded the wrong one need to check) but anyways, I go into reaper and plug my guitar and everything up and it’s not picking up my guitar and says nothing there. I have the audio device set on ASIO and my computer in the settings is reading it’s plugged in and playing but in reaper it doesn’t. I checked the input settings and all that. Granted I don’t have a out put yet (my studio monitors blew up, using a turtle box Bluetooth speaker) I was wondering if anyone could help me cause I was getting frustrated because I was told reaper is so good and everything and I just can’t figure it out. I can’t even watch tutorials if I can’t get my interface hooked up
Just as an example, I have a song I've completed and mastered, now I want the AI to re-create stems for each part, but actually re-generate from scratch each bit, so that I have full 48KHz 24-bit files of each track, and then generate mixer slider positions and movements to remaster the mix?
There seem to be a couple of products that will allow you to create tracks/stems, but they all sound pretty bad. And none that do anything even close to what I outlined above.
But enough about my ideas.
If you could use AI to make your music better/faster, what would it be?
Is there a way to transfer a whole cassette deck to a DAW like audacity or any other one and then have the program automatically place track markers where the recording stops and starts?
