SoundCraft review
Low-cost browser-based production with multitrack, MIDI, effects and collaboration.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
SoundCraft is a browser-based digital audio workstation for music producers and other creators who want multitrack recording, mixing and mastering without installing the main editor. Its workspace combines a timeline with up to 12 tracks, waveform editing, channel effects, MIDI sequencing, built-in instruments, piano-roll note editing and parameter automation. It also includes a two-deck DJ mixer, MP3 and WAV export, and sharing through the ClipCraft community. The free access makes it suitable for creators exploring browser-based production and for projects that need a focused set of editing and mixing tools.
Pricing is structured across four plans. Free costs $0 per month and includes photo, video and audio editors plus community track posting. Saver costs $1.99 per month, billed monthly, with the same listed highlights. Creator costs $7.99 per month and adds every tool without per-use tokens, studio tool interfaces, turbo video render and email support. Studio costs $19.99 per month, billed monthly, and includes everything in Creator plus early access to new features. Paid ClipCraft plans also add storage and token allowances, while the editor itself supports free editing and mixing.
SoundCraft runs in a web browser, with a Windows companion app for VST3 hosting. ClipCraft Bridge connects third-party VST3 instruments and effects, while VideoCraft and the ClipCraft community extend its platform fit. Channel routing, group buses, reverb, EQ, solo, mute, volume, pan, fading and crossfading give the multitrack workflow useful control across audio and MIDI material. Choose SoundCraft if browser access, low monthly pricing, collaboration and Windows-based VST3 support match your workflow. Choose another option if you need support beyond web and Windows or require VST3 hosting without the companion app.
