Orinj version 9.0.0
Orinj is a digital audio workstation (DAW): a multitrack music recording and mixing software with wave and MIDI editing. It helps you record, modify, and mix digital audio data.
What is it?
Orinj is software for personal computers. With it you can:
- Record audio tracks of instruments and vocals individually or several at a time. Mix audio tracks into a single music piece.
- Modify the mix with controls for volume, pan, effects, and other.
- Add DSP effects, such as delay, echo, chorus, reverb, compression, noise gate, equalization, pitch shifting, stretching, and notch filters. Each audio effect comes with presets, which you can use or change.
- Apply effects while playing or process them destructively in your mixed song.
- Cut, duplicate, loop, and move audio recordings with precise snap positioning.
- Add automation to effect and other mix controls.
- Build loops from samples or DLS or SF2 instruments, upload additional samples and instruments, use the pre-created blues, pop, rock, and heavy metal drum loops. Use these loops directly in your session.
- Edit MIDI files and use many available MIDI musical instruments. Use MIDI files in your session.
Suppose that you are a guitar player who wants to record a complete blues song. You may want to include drums, bass, guitar, piano, and vocals. You may want to overdub the vocals, add delay to your guitar solo, compress the drums and bass, adjust the volume, pan the mix, and add some amount of reverb to the overall mix or to separate tracks. Orinj has all this functionality and is designed so that you can use it intuitively.
There are no standards on how to mix songs. Orinj aims to provide as much control as possible, so that you can do as you please.
See Orinj Functionality for a more complete list of all the things that Orinj can do.

Orinj views
Orinj controls four parts of music recording and mixing: the recording session, individual audio files, drum and other loops (beats), and MIDI files. Orinj contains four main views.
The session view controls the recording session, allowing you to record and incorporate audio files, apply effects, and change the sound mix. The wave view is designed to master song mixes with effects and other controls. The loop view allows you to create sample loops. The MIDI view allows you to use your computer as a MIDI sequencer.

For developers
Orinj DSP effects use a strict structure and are independent of the main application. This means that new effects can be developed and used in Orinj without changes to the actual Orinj software. Further information is provided in the topic Orinj Effect framework.
Orinj generators also use a strict structure and are independent of the main application. A generator allows the user to create specific types of waves – square waves, sine waves, and others. New generators can be developed and used in Orinj without changes to Orinj itself. See Orinj Generator framework.
