The audio engine avoids allocations or locks in the audio callback, and the interface uses Tauri 2 with SolidJS, rendering moving elements on canvas. It follows an FL-Studio-style workflow with a channel rack, piano roll, playlist and mixer, plus 14 built-in plugins and vocal pitch editing. A new `wave` command lets an AI agent edit the open project live, writing patterns, adding effects and rendering mixes, with every change tracked in undo history. The demo beat on the site was made entirely by an agent. Version 0.9 supports Windows and Linux only, with VST3 effects, under MIT/Apache-2.0 licensing. ## Content I went to music school, worked as a music producer, then made YouTube videos, and used FL Studio for all three. WAVE is the open-source DAW I built to replace it. - Rust audio engine: no allocations or locks in the audio callback - Tauri 2 + SolidJS interface, everything moving is drawn on canvas - FL-Studio-style workflow: channel rack, piano roll, playlist, mixer - 14 built-in plugins, recording with comping, vocal pitch editing The new part: a `wave` command edits the open project while you watch. An AI agent can write a pattern, add an effect, render the mix and measure it, and every change lands in your undo history. The demo beat on the site was made entirely by an agent. Version 0.9: no macOS, VST3 effects only. Free, MIT/Apache-2.0, Windows and Linux.
