What SANDYNE is
SANDYNE is a desktop music studio for writing, recording, and mixing on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a browser interface on the local network. Its free plan costs nothing, requires no account or subscription, and lists 13 instruments and 34 effects with no trial timer or locked features. Note, audio, and drum editors share one timeline, alongside multitrack editing and MIDI sequencing. The app includes recording, mixing, stem separation, and export. Stem separation can split a mixed track into vocal, drum, bass, and instrument WAV files, with processing performed locally. Plug-in support covers VST3, CLAP, LV2 on Linux, and AU on Mac. SANDYNE imports Reaper projects and MIDI files, exports DAWproject, and handles multitrack stem WAV files. Export formats include WAV, FLAC, MP3, MIDI, and separate tracks. Release 2.5 increased the maximum track count to 128.
