SoundCraft is an open-source, clean-room reimplementation of the Avid Pro Tools workflow, rebuilt in pure Rust. An Edit window for arranging and editing, a Mix window for balancing, edit modes, tools, playlists, memory locations and AudioSuite processing: if you have spent years in that workflow, your hands should already know where things are.
Editing: Shuffle, Slip, Spot and Grid modes; Smart, Selector, Grabber, Trim, Pencil, Zoom and Scrubber tools; clip edits, fades and crossfades in five shapes, playlists with comping lanes, clip gain lines, edit groups and single-key Commands Focus shortcuts.
Mixing: ten inserts and ten sends per track, busses and aux inputs, master faders, VCAs, routing folders, solo modes, phase invert and trim, clip effects and automatic plugin delay compensation.
Automation: breakpoint automation for volume, pan, mute, sends and every plugin parameter, recorded live in Write, Touch and Latch, with thin, glide, coalesce and convert to clip gain.
Plugins: original EQ, compressor/limiter, reverbs, modulation, saturation, pitch and synth plugins; CLAP, VST3 and Audio Units load with their own editors; any processor runs offline as AudioSuite.
MIDI: instrument tracks with built-in synths, a piano-roll editor with a velocity lane, step input, quantize, Standard MIDI File import and export, Audio-to-MIDI, and a Score Editor with MusicXML export.
Video and surround: a picture track decoding H.264, ProRes and Motion JPEG in pure Rust, and main and bus formats from stereo to 9.1.6 and Ambisonics with a Renderer window.
Files and bounce: WAV/BWF/RF64, AIFF/AIFC and FLAC in and out; MP3, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, ALAC, CAF and movie audio in; mix or stems to WAV, AIFF or FLAC with peak, true peak and LUFS reporting.
