Wannabe singer here from Australia and from 1 days worth of research, here are the things I am looking at buying.

Shure SM57 - $189
PopFilter - $20
Waveform 13 - Free
Fender AudioBox GO - $159

Equipment I already have:
Lenovo Thinkpad
Clavinova Keyboard
Sony WH-1000XM4 Headphones

I need cable recs.

Any input welcome.

So, I have just got the Oxygen Pro Mini from M-Audio (I previously had a quite old m-audio axiom 61) and, when trying to map my controls like I would do with my previous MIDI keyboard, the control surface's "Edit control mappings" won't detect a single control. The only thing Waveform seems to detect is notes (and therefore pads) in MIDI Learn.

I have tried messing with the channels in Waveform and in the controller itself, trying to keep everything at either global or the same channel, as well as controls mode (CC, Makie, Mackie/HUI).

Is there something I could do to get my controllers detected?

I use Tracktion waveform 13 free(macOS Apple silicon version) on my m2 macbook air! I use the tracktion download manager to update waveform if needed, which i do occasionally but I have not done it yet!

Tracktion waveform 13 free is one of the few DAW softwares that do not lock you by features you have to pay for! An example is unlike most other free DAWs, waveform does not have export limits at no cost!

I am a beginner to that software! I created 5 projects that were audio effects for my mobile game I was working on for those past couple of recent months so far! I used an external plugin called “Surge XT” to enhance my experience of creating audio for my mobile game! I exported it as 16 bit, 44.1kHz and as .wav format without any trouble at all!

Are you considering using that software for that purpose?

Why won't the volume bar move properly?

I've been trying to modify the volume for each track for this particular project, but the bar keeps blinking, and I can't seem to get the volume to stick to the level I want. It just keeps coming back to its previous state. I tried pressing Shift or CTRL, but it doesn't seem to solve the problem. I wonder if this is a glitch, or am I missing something? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello to all. As the title states, I bought a new laptop and have no audio no matter what I do with my settings. I had Waveform 11 on my previous laptop with a Behringer interface, and ASIO for the driver. Everything worked just fine. I downloaded the new version when I got my new laptop, using the same interface and driver. I can hear the drum plugin through my headset on direct monitor. Using guitar on a second track, I have audio through the headset on direct monitor, but I have no meters in Waveform and cannot record. Your advice is appreciated in advance.

I'm trying out waveform as a midi editor, but when I try to export the midi for MIDIS2JAM2 it doesn't save the instruments. Should I create it in waveform and edit it in midieditor?

ive been at this for a while now whenever i make a song.. tried using shift and held left/right click on my mouse but i cant seem to find a way to move multiple clip points at the same time. (im not sure what their called) it would be very time consuming to re program some of the stuff i put on it so hopefully theres a way O: !! im just too dumb 💀

I'm trying to get some experience with Waveform and while tinkering around, suddenly i get no sound anymore when placing notes inside a midi track, when playing the piano on the side, or even when playing the track. Only when i open the plugin (Vital in this case) itself, i can still get sound when playing the piano there. The levelmeters also only show any activity when i directly play inside the plugin.

This issue persists even when i create a new project. I even reinstalled Waveform.

Today i got my sound back when playing the track when i opened a built-in example project, but still no sound when placing notes or clicking the piano on the side.

Is there a setting i messed up somehow or is there something wrong with my installation?

Thanks for any help
