Waveform 14 Public Beta
2026-04-22T19:14:32+00:00
beta-app-screenshot.webp Tracktion is pleased to announce Waveform 14 will be entering a public beta phase before a full launch soon. If you wish to help us put the final polish on 14 and get an early look at what features it includes,
Beta warning
Please note that this version of Waveform 14 is classified as beta software. As such, features may change or be removed and there may be bugs. Please don't use it on any existing projects or work you will come to rely on.
Reporting bugs
If you wish to report bugs, we have a GitHub repository where you can do so: https://github.com/Tracktion/waveform_public_beta . Please sign up to GitHub if you don't already have an account and then email waveform14beta@tracktion.com with your username to be added. You will find notes on the main page of the repository for reporting issues.
Significant changes since 13
One very important change in 14 is a new Project type. In order to simplify Waveform projects and make them more easily achievable and movable between folders/computers, there is no longer a ".tracktion" project file associated with a project, any folder containing ".tracktionedit" files can be considered a Project by Waveform. The Edit files themselves will contain relative paths to source audio files.
When you open an Edit from a previous version, Waveform will ask you if you want to convert that project to the new format. Please only do this on test projects for now.
You will see new format (folder based) projects with a white icon in the Projects list, old format projects will be shown with a yellow/orange icon.
This change also greatly simplifies the Archive process in that it just copies any files external to the project folder into the project folder (a process called "consolidation") and then creates a zip folder containing the files for that project. This does away with the old ".trkarch" files. You can then import these zip archives back into Waveform 14 or unzip them manually and open the Edit files it contains in Waveform 14.
Like all major Waveform releases, Edits saved in Waveform 14 are not openable by previous versions of Waveform.
Features
This is a brief overview of the features Waveform 14 contains. It's not an exhaustive list and there will be improved documentation and learning materials being created whilst the beta period is ongoing which will be ready for the full launch.
AI
A new AI assistant in the browser side panel focused on deep integration to assist you with your music making, not do it for you
No additional subscriptions, BYOK pay as you go with the model of your choice (OpenAI and Anthropic support initially)
LLM driven help assistant

"Tell me about step clips"
Can help with music production knowledge
"My vocals sound muddy - how should I EQ them?"
Can help with music composition knowledge
"Can you help me improve this arrangement?"
"What should I add to this session to make it more interesting?"
Can generate MIDI sequences
"Generate me 4 bar melody, bass and chord sequences for this track"
Can read existing MIDI clips and generate accompaniments, for the same and different instruments
"Create a bass line and drum sequence to go with this melody"
Can generate Javascript shortcuts using the existing API which can be run directly from the assistant panel or saved for future use
"Create me a script to rename all the clips on each track to the track name"
Has memory to retain information about you and your tastes
"Make a memory that I like jungle D&B"
Can create custom slash commands to quickly run features with arguments

I complained about this stupidity back at the launch of version 12. If the monitor is vertical, you won't be able to place any other window on it with sufficient visibility, except for the cutting board or the MIDI editor window, and now also the action window (which apparently was transformed from quick actions?). The manipulation that you propose works so poorly that, in principle, it should have been strangled right in the cradle, because if we separate the track window from the main one, and place the main one in vertical space, we will get side panels no more than half the space of the main window. Increase the number of side panels and stop seeing their contents altogether. Congratulations.
