Tracktion releases Waveform Free 13.5, the only truly unrestricted free DAW

Waveform Free 13.5
words by mixdown staff

A no-cost DAW with no track limits, no watermarks, and no hidden restrictions, Waveform Free continues to stand out in a crowded field of limited “lite” software.

 Now upgraded to version 13.5, it delivers smoother performance, faster load times, and the same under-the-hood optimisations as its professional counterpart, making it more powerful than ever for musicians, producers, and podcasters.

Read all the latest features, columns and more here.

A fully featured DAW without compromises

Launched in 2019, Waveform Free has become a go-to for creators seeking professional-grade tools without barriers. Unlike most free or entry-level DAWs, it imposes no restrictions on track counts, plugins, or exports, ensuring your projects remain entirely yours to create, save, and share. With built-in effects, synths, and instruments, it provides everything needed to take an idea from rough sketch to polished mix. Support for VST, VST3, and Audio Unit formats means you can expand your sound library endlessly with third-party plugins.

Faster, smoother, more responsive

Waveform Free 13.5 inherits the same optimizations as Waveform Pro, dramatically improving workflow efficiency and responsiveness. Load times are significantly reduced, even in plugin-heavy sessions, making it a practical and powerful option for serious projects. These improvements ensure that creative energy isn’t lost to technical bottlenecks, letting ideas flow seamlessly from inspiration to execution.

Scalable tools for evolving creators

For users looking to go beyond the core package, optional Feature Expansions unlock advanced capabilities, including DJ tools and professional video workflows. This modular approach allows creators to scale their DAW as their needs grow, keeping the workspace clutter-free and cost-effective.
