Full featured digital audio workstation (DAW) in the browser, inspired by Pro Tools, Fruity Loops, Ableton, etc.
Multi-track playback with custom instruments, effects, note region arrangement, piano roll note editor, keyboard piano, playback recording, etc.
Work in progress, should be ready to launch by the end of the year.
My goal is to create a DAW that can be used to create music in the browser, and have figma-like realtime collaboration with friends!
Inspired by being unable to remotely collaborate on music production with friends during the pandemic.
