Show HN: macOS native DAW with Git branching model

https://www.scratchtrackaudio.com
14•hpen•2h ago
I am working on building (and have made my first prerelease) for a Digital Audio Workstation with git like branching version control.

It's free for local use and paid for cloud syncing or collaboration.

I'm a voice actor, and I live in Reaper -- it's my "IDE" as it were. I like the idea of the git branching metaphor. Would you say that your DAW is primarily for musicians, or for more general purpose recording (i.e. a voice actors workflow)

I have built it because I'm a musician. That being said I am interested in serving my customers / community and am open to what features would be needed / what user experience would be desired.

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

nice feedback. I'll get on that! Thanks

Cool idea but 16bit audio? I would not recommend anybody record at 16bit.

Ah good catch! I'm adding 24 bit as we speak!

> with git like branching version control.

Honestly, as long as it's based on open, text-based formats, I could handle the Git part myself.

Was working on this same idea (*working = ideating over). Was really dissapointed to see after downloading the app does nothing without an account. This seems totally non-required for local "free" projects with this tool.

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?

Digital Audio Workstation

in the context of computer-based recording it's pretty common jargon
