AnalogDAW: Multitrack Studio
Record, Mix & Master Audio
$14.99
Your studio, everywhere. Record audio and AU instruments, comp the best takes, mix through analog-style EQ and dynamics, then export mastered stems. Now on iOS and macOS.
AnalogDAW is a multitrack recording studio built around the feel of a classic analog console. Record audio and virtual instruments, comp your best takes, and mix through warm, analog-modeled EQ, dynamics, and saturation — then export mastered stems ready for any platform.
PERFORMANCE-FIRST BY DESIGN
AnalogDAW captures real performances — it doesn't manufacture them. It's the recording workflow behind the classic, timeless records: track a great take, choose your best moments, and mix. By design, it leaves out the features that sand the humanity out of a record. No automatic pitch correction. No timing quantization, time-stretching, or grid that drags your audio into place. And it is not a MIDI sequencer — no piano roll, no step sequencer, no note editing. Virtual instruments are performed live and recorded as audio, exactly like miking an amp, so an instrument take is a real performance, not something to clean up later. The result keeps the human feel — the reason a record sounds alive.
A REAL MIXING CONSOLE
Every track flows through a full analog-style channel strip: preamp with COLOR harmonics, filter, gate, FET/OPTO/TUBE/VCA/BUS compressor models, console EQ, saturation, pan, and fader. Classic console-style EQ voicings, tape-style master saturation, bus compression, and a true-peak limiter give your mix the glue and character of outboard gear — no extra plugins required.
RECORD ANYTHING
Capture up to 32 tracks of audio from your interface at your project's sample rate, or record virtual instruments live by playing a hosted Audio Unit instrument from a MIDI controller or the on-screen keyboard. Loop recording and take comping keep every pass so you can assemble the best moments.
EDIT WITH CONFIDENCE
A clip-based timeline with takes, comping, fades and crossfades, region gain, slip editing, and beat/bar snapping. Multi-selection, channel ganging, and full undo/redo keep big sessions fast and forgiving. Crash recovery, automatic save backups, and missing-asset relinking protect your work.
MIX AND ROUTE LIKE A PRO
8 mix buses, 6 aux sends, 4 cue buses, VCA-style ganging, and a dedicated master chain. Host your favorite Audio Unit (AUv3) effects as inserts. Automatic plugin delay compensation keeps everything phase-aligned. Automation lanes ride levels and parameters over time.
MIX WITH YOUR HANDS
Connect a hardware control surface and run the whole console from real motorized faders and knobs. AnalogDAW supports Mackie Control (MCU) surfaces and simple MIDI controllers mapped with MIDI Learn.
EXPORT THAT MEASURES UP
Bounce a full mix or per-track stems at 44.1, 48, 88.2, or 96 kHz and 16-, 24-, or 32-bit. Every export writes a report with integrated LUFS loudness, true-peak, stereo correlation, sample rate, and bit depth — so you know your master meets spec before you send it.
BUILT FOR macOS and iOS
Self-contained session packages move cleanly across your devices — open, edit, and save through Files.
PRIVACY FIRST
AnalogDAW collects no data and contains no tracking, ads, or accounts. Your audio and sessions stay on your devices and the storage you choose.

AnalogDAW 1.5 gives every output of a multi-output instrument its own track.
• Instrument outputs — give Kick, Snare, Overheads, or any other output its own track, all playing one shared instrument: choose Input → Existing Instruments on any track. Each track has its own processing, fader, pan, sends, mute, and solo.
• Record several instrument outputs in one pass — arm the output tracks and perform; each one becomes its own aligned audio clip.
• Improved plugin window handling. Mac plug-in editors always fit the plug-in, and follow live as you resize it from its own resize handle or size menu. Oversized editors fit on screen and scroll from the top-left.
