## What it is
Radium is a free graphical music editor and DAW with a novel tracker-inspired interface that combines graphical editing with text-based tracker editing. It supports audio and MIDI multitracking, plugin hosting (VST, VST3, AU, LADSPA, LV2), and embedded Faust and Pure Data environments.

## Use cases
- compose music with a tracker-style editor
- record and mix multitrack audio
- sequence MIDI with graphical note editing
- host VST and LADSPA plugins
- develop Faust DSP effects inside a DAW
- automate pitch, velocity, and tempo

## When to choose
- you like tracker workflows but want graphical editing
- you need a free DAW with strong MIDI sequencing
- you want embedded Faust or Pure Data for sound design

## When to avoid
- you prefer a conventional piano-roll-only DAW
- you need a polished commercial plugin ecosystem
- you want a simple turnkey install on all platforms

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: audio-processing, gui, graphics
- domain: media, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cpp
