This is incredible. I'd love to see something similar for sound synthesis (how do you craft that perfect piano/violin/dubsteppy sound?) and mixing/mastering.


It's not free, but Syntorial is exactly what you want.

I don't know a suitable tool for mixing/mastering except many years of trial and error. Lots of things exist to get you the basics and aware of what all the major tools do, but nothing I know of (yet) really teaches you how to put them together to make a great mix nearly as well as making 100 bad mixes first.

I can't remember the speaker, but I watched a lecture (probably a decade ago) where the speaker said you could give the same project file to a great engineer who is only allowed to use the volume faders, and an amateur who is allowed to use any software tools and any expensive rack hardware. And the great engineer will make a better mix 100% of the time. I very much believe that statement is true.
