This video is translated into Spanish. I live in Argentina and I think Waveform is a kind of blessing for those of us who don't have a powerful PC, but do want to make music. I currently use Mixcraft 9 Pro, but WF12 is much lighter, faster, modern and free. Greetings and thanks a lot.
Thanks very much, that’s great to hear that you enjoyed it. Feel free to ask if there’s any other aspect of waveform or music production you’d like to learn about. If it’s something that other people might want too I’ll make a video, or if it’s something small I’ll respond with text.
Hi, fellow Irishman here. Thanks very much for this video. I downloaded Waveform Free recently but have no experience with DAWs and don't really know where to begin. So this is very helpful for me. I've been making music for years but always put off using these tools because of the learning curve.
You’re welcome. Thanks for your comment, I’m glad it helped. There are all sorts of ways of working with DAWs, and all kinds of cool and helpful tools, depending on your needs. There’s definitely a learning curve but with patience you’ll learn everything you need little by little. Eventually you’ll be a master of it. Have fun and enjoy the journey!
Waveform is sweet, I bought cubase 13 and it will kill your soul. I hated it and was mad about the loss of money for that junk but I have been using waveform and it's very intuitive easy and let's you get to work right away. I am going buy the pro pack as soon as I can.
Thanks for this video. I've had waveform for a while and I like it but I've been struggling to get things done with any kind of flow. I like that you introduced keyboard shortcuts, short loops and takes early on. I look forward to your video on the 4OSC
Thanks. Glad to hear you found it helpful. I have a couple of videos to make about Bitwig but I’ll be back for another Waveform one soon. Maybe a couple of shorts too.
@@tracktionwaveformtips I look forward to it. Something I wanted to add, which I just discovered for myself, is that it is possible to overlay multiple takes with MIDI devices too. But the setting is hard to find. In the Properties panel, with the MIDI instrument selected, there is a setting called "Action" just above the row of numbers. I don't know why the terminology is "Record Mode" for microphones and "Action" for MIDI devices. But hopefully this comment will help someone.
Thanks, yes it surprised me too with how much it could do when I started using it a couple of years ago. This video is just about the functions in Waveform Free. There’s a lot more in Pro!
Hello sir, I have a small trouble in waveform 12: I am afraid that I accidentally changed few presets inside of 4OSC plugin and then I saved the changes. Please help me to reset the presets to their initial style.
Ooh, I'm not sure, sorry. Maybe there's a reset defaults button somewhere? ~My advice would be to find a forum like the KVR one, or the facebook group etc. Also contact Tracktion with your query. The guys at Tracktion are very approachable and helpful, although since it's a small team you might be left waiting a while. The people on forums and groups tend to be very helpful too.
@@tracktionwaveformtips I didn't understand one forum, and I didn't look at the others. Hopefully a youtube user told me about the factory presets. I used the presets but nothing has changed I decided to accept I didn't change the presets. Thanks for returning.
Downloaded a vst but I don't see any of the instruments or sound effects can't figure out how to get them from computer to waveform I am using windows 11 waveform 12 and my vst is spitfire it shows two spitfire in vst scan window but I can't find any sounds in project area any help would be greatly appreciated
I’ve had issues with Spitfire too. I had it working fine before on my Mac but I can’t seem to figure out what’s going on with it on Windows. I’ve even tried entirely deleting it and resetting permissions (or something like that). Damned thing is still silent. Please let me know if you figure it out!
@@tracktionwaveformtips dragging spitfire vst plug-in icon from browser box far left to master channel rack helped!

Hi Bren. I'm a long term Cubase user and I still use it for mixing/mastering my tunes, but a couple of years ago I dowloaded a free version of waveform 8 and was amazed by how good this DAW is for quick experimentation. I'm now have Waveform 12 pro and It's great for knocking up quick ideas. Cubase is very conservative by comparison. Keep up the great work. PS: would it be possible to do a video on how to catalogue, Tag store and find audio and midi loops, one shots, sampler instrument files etc? I have a hard disk full of snare hits, bass loops, stabs, phrases and midi files but I'm having real problem locating them when I need to audition/use them. Bernie.
Hi Bernie, thanks for your message. That’s interesting to hear about Cubase being conservative by comparison! I haven’t used that DAW since about 2003 and I had wondered recently how they’ve developed. I know that Guy Michelmore uses it a lot. I think a DAW is one of those things that we tend to stay on whichever one we learn, for the sake of efficiency with muscle memory etc. I seem to be an anomaly though. I switched from 20 years on Logic Pro, Reason and Ableton Live on a MacBook to Waveform, Bitwig and occasionally Harrison Mixbus on Linux and I love them more than I ever loved the others. I can do all of the same stuff and more on my current setup, although the transition was time-consuming! Glad you’re enjoying my videos, thanks for letting me know. As for your request, these are good ideas that I’ll add to my list and I’ll hopefully make a video about them soon.
@zoeschooloflife there’s a few steps. You’ve got to highlight the track, then “arm” it by pushing the button on the left. You also have to make sure that your keyboard is recognised in the settings page. Then it should be just a matter of hitting record at the bottom of the screen and playing. That sounds more complicated than it is. I’ll do a short video about it soon because you might not be the only one struggling to figure it out. Hopefully I’ll have a moment tomorrow to record a quick short.
@@tracktionwaveformtips Hello, I have succeeded. Thank you so much . God bless you. But the sound of my piano, I don't like it. Is there any free plugin you can recommend for me to change the sound ? I want it to sound like a grand piano but the 4OSC instrument sounds in waveform free aren't suitable. The electronic piano sound here is weird. Please can you help ?
@zoeschooloflife oh great, I’m glad you found your way through it. As for the sounds, I’ll have to think about it and get back to you. I’m not near my computer at the moment. Meanwhile, maybe Google free piano plugins (or piano vsts). In any case, whichever instrument you use while recording can be changed to another instrument anytime!
I’ve never had much use for Windows VSTs on Linux so I’m not the right person to ask. I did try them briefly a while back but I found that the ones I wanted most are too much of a pain to install on Linux (Komplete and Waves stuff). I’m pretty sure I tried Carla in Waveform before and it worked. Might be best to try the 90 day trial yourself, or ask in forums.
I do need to try it again. I was able to run Air synths on Carla on Ubuntu budgie last time I tried but audio was a bit odd on waveform (no problems on reaper on Linux though). Maybe I'll try and install Ubuntu again just wary of any new lts release due to the bugs that comes on launch and it takes a while to clean up. Definitely don't wsnt to run 18.04 as the website recommends
Hello i was wondering if there was a way to record inputs from effects live like i have Love-Fi 2 and i want to be able to edit and play the “living things” atmospheric noises live and edit the sound throughout the track live without using a midi controller if that makes sense ill try and answer questions also if you want i can stream on discord so i can show you what im talking about
I’m not sure, but I suspect what you’re looking for is automation. That’s absolutely doable. There’s a little A on the right of each track for that stuff. Another cool thing is the modifiers, I’ve got some videos on those and racks that are interesting. Also the one on LFOs called something like Waveform’s secret weapon or something like that. I hope that one of these things helps. Give me some more detail if not.

Yeah I encountered a few of those bugs in 11. So far, 12 has been much better. I’m sure it won’t be completely bug free but they’ve already addressed a few of them very quickly since launch.

@@therealdavros you’re welcome. Which is your own favourite DAW as a matter of interest? I also use Bitwig a lot and love that one too, especially for crazy kinds of over the top experimentation, routing or live kinds of stuff and arranging ideas from a clip launcher to a timeline. I’ve got Harrison Mixbus as well. I love the workflow of it for mixing but I have yet to really dig deep into it because I usually miss some of the functions of my other DAWs like modulators wherever I want and extra MIDI stuff. Still, if I was just mixing a simple track I’d be glad to use Mixbus because it’s like working on a physical console with built in EQ, compression and saturation on every track. As an experienced musician, that layout just makes sense for speed. I’m not sponsored by them in any way, or by Bitwig for that matter.
Is it? Huh, I have no idea why. I don't recall ever coming across your channel or your name.

I can only assume it's either a preset from Tracktion or else I picked up a plugin somewhere along the line that had your name on it for some reason. Sorry if this message fails to alleviate your anxiety! I'll take a look there next time I'm signed in on Linux.
I think I'm too green for this vid, but I will be back soon
Keep an eye on here, I’m planning to do a lot of simple videos for beginners very soon.
@@tracktionwaveformtips I look forward to your hard work. Ty
Is your mom in the other room? So u gotta talk quiet?
Haha, no I’m just a delicate flower sometimes 😂
im a total beginer...id like to watch, but its to dark to see and the english is muffled and you just skip over things like everyone knows. cant watch, sry
Oh damn, sorry to hear that. I’ll bear it in mind in the next beginner video I do. I’ll see if I can slow down and speak more clearly. Hopefully you found what you were looking for in someone else’s videos.
@@tracktionwaveformtips thnx for replying!im not a native english speaker, so its a bit difficult for me to understand some sentences, my bad. btw, im sure that a white screen is better for podcast, bcs its easier to see for viewers..i think. just for videos, its more contrast, imo. thnx again, ill be watching your vids.
@@bokidimi5215 thanks, it’s definitely worth trying the lighter background, speaking clearly and making sure the subtitles are accurate.
