What SAWStudio is

SAWStudio is a Windows digital audio workstation combining a virtual mixing console with multitrack recording and editing. It covers recording, mixing, and mastering, and supports video synchronization and third-party plug-ins. The virtual console is designed for 120 stereo inputs, 24 stereo outputs, six stereo auxiliary sends, and surround panning assignable to up to 10 outputs. Automation can run live or offline with down-to-sample timing accuracy. A built-in video track synchronizes playback, while a control track sends MIDI and RS232 commands for theater automation. Ethernet operation supports a host with up to eight remote or slave connections. Audio drivers include Windows MME, 24-bit WDM extended MME, ASIO, and D-Wave. SAWStudio Full costs $300 a month, SAWStudio64 costs $500 a month, and SAWStudio64 V2 costs $600 a month. VST3 compatibility is listed for SAWStudio64 V2.0 and later.
