These days, the Digital Audio Workstation (or DAW) is at the heart of most producers’ setups.

Whether you use Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools, Ableton or any number of alternatives, the DAW has revolutionized the way we produce music, as well as making it cheaper and easier. It’s cause for excitement then that “the digital audio workstation of the web” has debuted online in the shape of Wavepot.

At the moment if you head over to the Wavepot site it doesn’t look like much – a string of code and a few buttons, to be precise – but it’s the potential here that’s exciting. For now we can play a series of different slices of code (selectable from a menu on the right hand side) and hear the potential of Wavepot’s synthesis engine, beyond that it’s a work in progress. If you click on the record button (or any of the modules) you’ll be taken to a page where you can use PayPal, Bitcoin or Dogecoin to fund Wavepot’s next step – making it a true DAW.

This means that in future we can expect “user profiles, project saving & sharing, module library, audio record & download, code export, debug console and settings,” and the project has already smashed through its incredibly modest $2000 goal.

We reckon the possibility here and potential is incredible, even if you can’t exactly do a great deal right now – the idea of project sharing is particularly exciting. It does help of course if you have an aptitude for coding, so those of you who are already well versed in C-Sound and Max/MSP might get the biggest kick out of Wavepot, at least initially.
