DawDreamer ~ Audio Processing Python Framework


DawDreamer is an audio-processing Python framework supporting core DAW features and beyond:

  • Composing graphs of multi-channel audio processors
  • Audio playback
  • VST instruments and effects (with UI editing and state loading/saving)
  • FAUST effects and polyphonic instruments
  • Time-stretching and looping, optionally according to Ableton Live warp markers
  • Pitch-warping
  • Parameter automation at audio-rate and at pulses-per-quarter-note
  • Parameter automation saving in absolute audio-rate time
  • MIDI playback in absolute time and PPQN time
  • MIDI file export in absolute time
  • Rendering and saving multiple processors simultaneously
  • Support for the Faust Box and Signal APIs
  • Transpiling Faust code to JAX/Flax and other target languages (C++, Rust, Wasm, etc.)
  • Machine learning experiments with QDax
  • Multiprocessing support
  • Full support on macOS, Windows, Linux, Google Colab, and Ubuntu Dockerfile

DawDreamer’s foundation is JUCE, with a user-friendly Python interface thanks to pybind11. DawDreamer evolved from an earlier VSTi audio “renderer”, RenderMan.
