What SoundBridge is
SoundBridge is a digital audio workstation for music production and film scoring, available for macOS and Windows. Its tools include audio and MIDI editors, a mixer, sequencer, multi-track automation, MIDI mapping, and a 64-slot sampler. The audio engine uses 192 kHz floating-point processing and supports native ASIO and Core Audio. SoundBridge states that it supports VST plugins and includes zplane Élastique Pro time-stretching and aufTAKT beat detection.
For scoring to picture, it lists AVC, HEVC, and VVC video support, frame-accurate scrubbing, and per-track linear time mode. Its Virtual Collaboration feature is in public beta, with remote sessions offering sample-accurate sync, low-latency tracking, video, talkback, and bidirectional remote control. The free plan costs nothing and limits projects to 10 tracks; premium features and the Sound Bank are excluded, while audio asset exports are included for life. The Everything Bundle has no listed price and includes SoundBridge, RitMix, reChord, and a Sound Bank of 1,000+ samples. A separate SoundBridge lifetime license is $199.99, paid once.
