MAGDA

MAGDA (Multi Agent Digital Audio) is a free, open-source digital audio workstation built for AI-assisted music production. It combines a clip-based session view, a timeline arrangement, and a full mixer in a single integrated environment.

Built on Tracktion Engine, MAGDA is designed to be programmable, inspectable, and extensible.

Key Features

• Session, Arrangement & Mixer — Clip-based session view for jamming and sketching ideas, a timeline arrangement for full productions, and a mixer for balancing your tracks.
• Hybrid Tracks — Every track handles both audio and MIDI. Record audio clips and MIDI patterns on the same track without switching modes.
• Sample Rate Modulation & Macros — Modulate any parameter at sample rate with classic LFOs and bezier curve shapers. Map multiple parameters to a single macro knob.
• FX Racks — Build complex signal chains with multi-chain FX racks. Route audio through parallel and serial processing paths.
• AI Console — Integrated AI agents that understand your session and help you compose, arrange, and mix. Bring your own API key (OpenAI compatible).
• Bounce, Freeze & Flatten — Bounce in place, bounce to new track, or freeze and flatten to free up CPU while keeping your workflow flexible.
• Plugin Hosting — Full VST3 and AudioUnit plugin support on macOS. VST3 on Windows and Linux.

Philosophy

MAGDA is built on the belief that creative software should adapt to the user — not the other way around. It is designed as a platform: modular by default, programmable at every level, and extensible by the community.

Intelligence is treated as automation, not replacement. The system is here to help you work, not to work instead of you.

Open Source

MAGDA is free and open source under the GPLv3 license. Source code, issue tracker, and documentation are available on GitHub.
