Welcome, it’s nice to see you here! This article is the main hub for getting started with AudioNodes for the first time. It explains what it is, what you can do with it, and how.
About AudioNodes in General
AudioNodes is a modular, but fully featured digital audio workstation, with a remarkably clean and simple UI. This means you can use it for a wide variety of audio-related work, including: audio file editing (or mixing), modular synthesis (including polyphonic modular synthesis), and even for composing your score from scratch.
AudioNodes is free software (even for commercial use), but a paid version is also available to fund its ongoing development, unlocking some more advanced settings and options, as well as a variety of cool convenience features.
