In the maintainer's words
“An open-source, clean-room reimplementation of Avid Pro Tools in pure Rust”— repository description, github.com/storytold/soundcraft
What SoundCraft is built to do

- MIDI sequencing and piano roll
- Timeline rulers, markers and track folders
- VST / CLAP plugin hosting
- Real-time mixing console with routing
- Bounce and stem export
These are the workflow areas the project targets. Implementation status changes release to release — confirm against the repository before relying on a specific behaviour.

- Engine tests compile on Windows, closing a platform-only build break.
- Stored session paths are followed only on this computer or the session's own share.
- Shared CI gained a Nix check workflow.

SoundCraft FAQ
Can I open my Pro Tools sessions?
Plan on reassembly from stems or exported tracks rather than a direct session import, and confirm with upstream before committing to a project.
Are VST plugins supported?
Upstream lists VST/CLAP hosting; individual plugin behaviour varies, so test your staples.
Is it usable for film spotting?
For sync-critical post work, verify timecode and video-track behaviour on a real reel first.
