There's some serious power packed in this tiny DAW. A wide range of general purpose samples like drums, bass, guitar and piano cover common needs while a nice selection of synths cover the electronic spectrum. Then there's a highly configurable modular synth for more custom sounds, effects and composition needs like arpeggios. It's a fully-fledged DAW that bundles a complete studio in a fast app that works great on mobile as well as desktop. It also works flawlessly through WINE on Linux so as cross-platform as it gets.

It's a shame that Caustics development have been discontinued. It's such an amazing piece of software. You get a really good DAW that you can run on your phone unless you run it on a PC. For the price of the Android-version it's amazing. And even better for the PC version of course.

I had recently downloaded some antivirus software and upon downloading the file my antivirus software told me that Caustic was a trojan file
