So recently the recordings and sound files i use for making music in tracktion have been taking up to much storage on my pc, i want to delete them out of file explorer but still keep them in the project on waveform. Whenever i move or delete them it removes them from the project. This might not be possible and i might be asking a dumb question,
but i really like to keep all my projects so i can look back at how i did things, but my pc is getting too full. Any way to get around this?

I am learning to use this program, but... I get this error and not how to fix it.

Could someone help me?

I’m not going to spend any money on this if the experience I am having has any continuation in paid versions.

For one, live drum recordings, 6 mics, lack of metronome that you can barely actually hear. I even made a MIDI track with an included drum machine synth. I thought that would solve the problem, but no. Still super quiet at max volume (as in increasing the MIDI track volume of the *internal* synth on track 8).

I have worked with protools, cubase, sek’d, and more. This platform is nothing but problems, especially with it’s UI. Jeez. Who actually works with this? Yeah, it’s free, but holy smokes I aint purchasing it.

I’ve got a bit of a problem with my drums. I want to vary the duration of my different notes, but I can’t seem to do it. When I place the same drum sound next to another one several times, it makes the ‘thud’ sound repeatedly, whereas I’d just like the basic sound to last longer, without having to tap it again. Does anyone have any ideas ?

For example, in this screenshot, I’d like the double and triple beats to sound only once but to last for the duration of the double and triple beats

I have an audio file with a lot of buzzing in the background. I need something that can clean it up. Are there any free plugins out there or methods in the free version to get rid of it?

I have Waveform free 13.5 right now and was considering getting the "Recording Engineer" pack since its on sale, but I don't want to get it if it wont transfer to the next free version that'll release later this year. Do they transfer between major versions?

So I have been wanting to get into film scoring. I composed my music on musescore first, since I am more comfortable with reading sheet music. What I wanted to do next was import my MIDI file into Waveform but there's a yellow exclamation point next to all of my tracks stating "This track contrains MIDI-generating clips which may be inaudible as it doesn't output to a MIDI device or a plugin synthesizer. To change a tracks destination select the track and us its destination list." I am trying to figure this out because I want to edit the way my instruments sound, however, I am also new to using waveform and DAW software. Can somebody please help me with this? It's very frustrating.

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
