I think it’s time for a truly open Digital Audio Workstation one that’s actually usable, well-designed, functional, and free from logins, cloud dependencies, or mandatory subscriptions. Something you can simply download or access from any platform that supports a browser.

That’s why I really like the idea of building a DAW in the browser, it has huge potential for all kinds of users, especially in education, whether for kids, older people, or just anyone who wants to make music on the go, no matter what device they’re using.

I see a lot of promise in this project and fully support André, who has already contributed to developing great audio tools.



It already exists. It's called Ardour. Paul, the main developer is quite active on HN.


I suspect the GP doesn't think much of Ardour's design :)


Try Bitwig under Linux. I am very happy with it.


Polarity might be the most well known Bitwig user. Check out his identically named youtube channel where he often shows interesting Bitwig techiques.


OH! :-D


I second Bitwig. It even works a little bit better on Linux in some ways than on Windows!
