Sundroid: Free Digital Audio Workstation

Open-source music notation software for Linux, offering a free, easy-to-use, and full-featured alternative to proprietary DAWs.

What is Sundroid?

Sundroid is an open-source digital audio workstation and music notation software designed for the Linux operating system. Development started in 2010 with the goal of providing Linux users a free, full-featured, and easy-to-use alternative to expensive proprietary DAW software.

Some key features of Sundroid include:

• Multi-track audio recording and editing
• MIDI sequencing, editing, and virtual instrument support
• Full-featured mixing console and effects processors
• Music notation and score editing capabilities
• Support for plugins in VST, LV2, and other formats
• Flexible routing for advanced users
• Export to common audio formats like MP3, WAV, and FLAC

By building on existing open-source technologies like JACK, Sundroid is able to achieve low-latency performance comparable to proprietary alternatives. The interface uses GTK+ and Cairo to provide a customizable and aesthetically pleasing user experience.

Sundroid runs natively on most Linux distributions without Wine or other compatibility layers. Its liberal open-source license allows anyone to freely use, modify, and distribute the software at no cost. An active community of contributors helps drive continued improvement and innovation in Sundroid.
