Soul Studio · Early access
The professional DAW from Open Soul Records. Record, edit, mix and master with 36 Soul plug-ins built in house, bring the plug-ins you already own, and keep it for good after twelve payments.
The studio
Console-style tracks, I/O and buses, an Edit window and a Mix window that work the way engineers already do, and a sound engine that plays back, bounces and exports exactly what you heard.
Takes, punch in and out, loop and pre-roll, all on one timeline. Every take is kept, so the best one is always there when you comp.
Ten edit tools, clip gain, fades and crossfades, time-stretch and sample-accurate placement, plus a channel rack and piano roll for beats and keys.
Unlimited inserts and sends, aux, VCA and folder tracks, snapshots and a reference track that matches your mix by loudness. Needle meters, LED ladders and scribble strips, painted in Soul colours.
Soul Master puts a whole mastering chain in one insert, with a true-peak guard and live loudness. Export with dither and loudness targets for every platform you deliver to.
Soul plug-ins
EQs, compressors, preamps, tape, reverb, delay, metering and mastering, written by Open Soul and measured in Soul Lab: frequency response, aliasing, latency and null tests before a plug-in ships. Included with Soul Studio. Nothing to buy on top.
Soul Host
Soul Host runs your CLAP, VST3 and Audio Units effects, each in a process of its own. If a plug-in crashes or hangs, it takes only itself down: the insert goes quiet and says so, and the rest of your session keeps playing.
Measured, not guessed
We never claim better sound with marketing words. When quality can be measured, Soul Lab measures it, on every change, on every system.
Playback, offline render and bounce share one description of the sound. What you export is what you heard, sample for sample.
Every Soul plug-in declares exactly the latency it adds, from the same function its test checks, so parallel paths stay in phase.
The transport is ticked by the audio engine itself, not by a window timer, so it keeps time even when the window is hidden.
Project folders with recovery, automatic backups, versions, a Media Manager and Collect Project. Your projects and media are never held hostage.

What's next
Built on the same engine, and shipped as each one passes its gates. Here is what we are building next.
Import a beat, record, comp, tune and mix vocals and export, without another DAW.
Professional mixing over two-track beats: the low end, masking and room for the vocal, analysed band by band.
A session that knows its roles, sections and routing, so the tools work with your music, not bus numbers.
Latency compensation across every path, with an inspector that shows you where every sample goes.
A first-party instrument library to go with the Soul plug-ins.
Non-destructive source separation inside the session, with its confidence shown, never hidden.
Platforms
One engine and the same sound on every system, built and tested on all three with every change.
