This is a desktop-class app — it works best on a larger screen.

Quick Answer

This free online DAW gives you the core Pro Tools workflow in a browser tab: multitrack audio and MIDI recording and editing, non-destructive clip editing, automation lanes, a mixer with inserts, sends, and busses, and real-time effects. It records from your microphone (with permission) and mixes with a Rust DSP engine compiled to WebAssembly — audio never leaves your device unless you export it.

How It Works

1

Open and Launch — Open the audio editor page in a desktop Chrome or Firefox and click Launch. The first launch downloads about 6 MB; after that it is cached.

2

Start or Open a Session — Create a new session or open one from your device; import audio files by dragging them onto the timeline.

3

Record and Edit — Arm a track and record from your microphone, then cut, crossfade, and arrange clips non-destructively.

4

Mix and Export — Set levels and effects in the mixer, ride automation, then bounce the mix to WAV or MP3 on your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free, and do I need an account?

Yes — completely free, no account, no watermarks. The underlying software is open source under Apache-2.0, embedded exactly as published.

Is my audio uploaded anywhere?

No. The DAW runs as WebAssembly inside your browser tab; recording, editing, mixing, and exporting all happen on your device.

Can it record from my microphone?

Yes — click allow on the browser microphone prompt. Recording works like any desktop DAW: arm a track and roll. The browser only grants access while the tab is active.

How does it compare to the openDAW workstation?

Both are full DAWs. This one is a Pro Tools-style editor/mixer with a Rust DSP core; openDAW is a modern clip-launching workflow. Try both and keep whichever fits the way you work.

Does it work on mobile?

Audio editing and mixing want a desktop browser: screen size, precise timing, and plugin-style interaction. Phones also background-throttle audio threads, causing dropouts.
