I’d recommend providing a lot more screenshots and information about how the core DAW functionality works in comparison to other DAWs. As is I can’t see enough about what this would feel like to spend my time downloading and trying it

By QuantumNomad_ 2026-01-213:07 Some video recordings would be extra nice also, that shows the software in use on an example audio project. Including showcasing of how you work with the revision history and branches, and how it enables collaboration.
By stephenhandley 2026-01-213:13 I cannot imagine anyone who works with audio regularly would realistically consider replacing Ableton/Logic/ProTools/Reaper/etc with whatever recording experience this provides (no screenshots doesn't help your pitch).
The versioning idea is interesting and something many musicians have to contend with as they work on songs. Personally, I wouldn't want the complexity of take-level versioning, but pinning audio and mix automation to a given mixdown could be useful for tracking the history of a song. It might be more effective to approach this as version tracking / collaboration layer around existing DAW formats rather than a full replacement.
I am curious why it’s called DAW. There are no screenshots so hard to say anything
Does it support VST, AU? Any support for midi? Which OS’s supported?
Is this just a multi tracker recorder that has a git style storage?
By hpen 2026-01-2122:33 So it has the default AU plugins that are bundled with macOS.
I'm adding additional support for loading plugins. Eventually, I would like to add VST support but that's down the road a bit.
It has basic midi support, can use a controller, or edit with keyboard.

in the context of computer-based recording it's pretty common jargon
By QuantumNomad_ 2026-01-213:031 reply I think what parent commenter is asking is, does it do the things one would expect a DAW to do?
I’m not expecting a whole Ableton replacement, but things like hosting plugins and working with MIDI is IMO fair to expect from any piece of software that wants to call itself a DAW.
By scelerat 2026-01-221:34 Oh yeah makes sense
