This is impressive but, why would I use this over other DAWs? Why name it openDAW if it is not open source?
edit: I like the idea of the "Discoverable Toys" and can see how this could develop into something new. But why not just concentrate on that and bring it to other DAWs in form of a plugin, instead of writing a whole new DAW in the browser?
- mijoharas 2y agoGood question, I read the about page[0] which says: > Will the DAW be open source from the start or only become open source later? > To make the most of being open-source, we believe that there should be an appropriate infrastructure for documentation and quality assessment of code contributions. Our current focus is to lay the foundation for an MVP and release a public standalone version 1 by the end of the year. So it seems that they intend to open source it later. Still a bit of a strange move, but fair enough I guess. [0] https://opendaw.org/ https://opendaw.org/
- jampekka 2y agoI would welcome a new open source DAW. Ardour is the go-to option now, and is very capable, but it's starting to show its age and the UI is quite clunky (or an acquired taste at least). Also the open source audio editor situation is quite dismal. Audacity is really the only game in town. It's showing its age too and its trajectory doesn't look great. A more editing-focused DAW, which OpenDAW seems to be, would be very welcome.
- Mashimo 2y ago> instead of writing a whole new DAW in the browser? Ease of use. Login without installing anything, work on a project on the tabled on the train, later on continue the project without syncing it somehow, all while working in collaboration with a friend.
