Remix, mash up, and build tracks from the audio you love. Silverdaw is an open-source DAW for remixing, mashups, and sample-driven music making. Import audio, then arrange, trim, re-pitch, and tempo-match it into a finished mix.

What is Silverdaw?

Silverdaw is a Windows desktop application for building tracks out of existing audio. Import your songs, loops, vocals, and samples, drag them onto a timeline, and arrange, trim, re-pitch, and tempo-match them into a finished mix. It is designed for bedroom DJs, producers, and mixers — anyone who wants to create mixes and mashups easily by combining and reshaping existing audio. It is geared towards DJs and producers as a studio creation tool, not a live-performance instrument. You can also record your own audio — a vocal, an instrument, or a line input — over the arrangement as it plays, and use the take like any other clip. Supported MIDI DJ decks can also record editable vinyl-style scratches directly from audio into a mix, combining deck control with a non-destructive studio workflow.

Everything you need to reshape audio

Silverdaw keeps arranging audio simple — most tasks are a drag, a double-click, or a single menu item away.

Remix & mashup first
Layer and blend existing audio with automatic tempo and key detection, tempo matching, and pitch shifting.

Non-destructive editing
Tempo, pitch, and trim are clip settings, so your original files are never altered and edits can be revised.

Stem separation
Split any track into vocals, drums, bass, and other parts, then remix and recombine them freely.

Loop slicing
Chop a clip into slices on a beat grid or with hand-placed markers, then rearrange them into something new.

Mixer & effects
Per-track EQ, a DJ-style filter, compressor, and reverb and delay sends, with a master output and live metering.

Track automation
Draw breakpoint curves to automate filter, pan, sends, gain, and more across the timeline.

MIDI deck controls
Use a supported MIDI deck controller to control the arrangement timeline and selected-track effects, or record and refine editable scratch patterns.

DJ turntable effects
Add a vinyl-style brake or backspin to the end of a clip, or reverse it entirely — classic turntable moves, all non-destructive.

Mixdown export
Render your whole project to WAV, FLAC, AIFF, or MP3 with optional loudness normalisation.

Split any track into stems

Separate vocals, drums, bass, and other parts, then drop each onto its own track to remix and recombine. High-quality models do the work, with a Fast / Balanced / Best speed control and optional one-click cleanup.

Shape the mix with effects and automation

Give each track a Tone EQ, a DJ-style filter, a compressor, and reverb and delay sends, then draw breakpoint curves to automate them over time. Everything plays live and renders identically on export.

Slice loops and rebuild them

Chop a clip into slices on a bar or beat grid — from a whole bar down to 1/32 — or with hand-placed markers, then lay the slices back on the timeline or save each as its own sample.

Scratch it like vinyl, then drop it in the mix

Connect a supported MIDI DJ deck controller and scratch for real — or use the on-screen deck if you don’t have hardware. Reshape the take in the Scratch Editor’s notation view, then save it as a sample and add it straight to your project.
