Traverso or Open Source DAW

Traverso is a DAW released under a GPL license. Which means of course it is free. While there maybe a lot free instruments and effects but this not a lot of free DAW’s out there. Traverso I think would be good for people needing something quick easy. It is not like Reaper or Audacity. It in its own niche. I think it would be good for those the need something to record to multi-track podcast or add some audio to a web video. It does support a lot of audio file formats which is handy but only supports LV2 plugins which is not. I don’t think this is a serious tool yet for those really serious about recording and music production. But this kinds of project can certainly grow into something wonderful. Now though it would be a good tool for some one needing a quick and easy DAW.

From the site:

A complete suite

Traverso is a complete solution from recording to CD Mastering. By supplying many common tools in one package, you don’t have to learn how to use lots of applications with different user interfaces. This considerably lowers the learning curve, letting you get your audio processing work done faster!

Robust non-linear audio processing

A unique approach to non-linear audio processing was developed for Traverso to provide extremely solid and robust audio processing and editing. Adding and removal of effects plugins, moving Audio Clips and creating new Tracks during playback are all perfectly safe, giving you instant feedback on your work!
