I have used Cubase for 25 years. A video conferencing app is just not the same category even remotely.
This is like trying to build Maya or Blender in a browser without an art background but having to deal with ms latency.
I just don't see the point. I don't even like Logic because the Cubase workflow is transparent to me at this point.
Even the idea of grabbing pirated DAW software to get an intuition is kind of absurd if you have never made music at all. It is exactly the problem I have had with trying to learn Maya. I can't even draw something on paper. The idea a dev with no background in the domain is going to add something to software that has been evolving from very specific domain knowledge in a highly complex and unbound domain for multiple decades is utterly absurd.
- jupp0r 3y agoI have not heard a single argument why DAW software can not have a web GUI. Do you have any? I'm genuinely curious.
- EyeSayUntoThee 3y agoThere have been various toy DAWs the have web GUIs. I've never seen a production-capable DAW with a web GUI. I suspect that existing web-as-native-GUI frameworks make presumptions about threading that won't work where a realtime audio callback thread piping data to other audio processing threads and back is the real show, and where the GUI may need things like updated zoom levels dirtying many waveform drawings at once requiring recalculation of peak values in viewable windows to draw the little lines that make the waveform, among other things that may make simple partitioning of systems more challenging...
