The Rasp Pi has enough performance to serve as a small digital audio workstation. Waveform 9 provides the necessary software.
Tracktion.com has been selling suites for music production – Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs) – for many years.

To download and activate Waveform 9, visit the Marketplace section of Tracktion's website [1], for which you need an account. You'll need to purchase a license for $109 – around EUR93.50.
