If that's just "turn-based collaboration" use the same DAW and a shared Drive/Dropbox/Whatever.
this is exactly what i thought - but i guess the discoverability is missing. where you can say, "hey, i have this guitar riff, any drummers?". it's more of a community + access to the same daw.

Yeah, discoverability and convenience.

I spend a lot of time doing this too -- cutting up band rehearsal tapes into songs and exporting all. As weird as Audacity's UI is, I haven't found anything better than it at this.
Again, try Ocenaudio. I'm old enough to have used Cool Edit/Adobe Audition. Similar flow to those.
i spent about 15 minutes trying to figure out the above. in audacity the whole book was done in 5 minutes.
also, i really don't get what is supposed to be better about that interface. both apps have text menus with lots of functions, and you have to know what the functions do by their name. that makes ocenaudio no easier than audacity in my opinion. and it's not even FOSS.
Looks awesome! Had some trouble using it though. I double clicked a sample and got stuck there. Nothing in the view menu or any way I could see to get back to the initial overview screen.
Very cool! Congrats OP. How would you compare it to OpenDAW? https://opendaw.org
Audiomass is an audio editor, meaning that it works with already existing files that might need to be cut, edited, cleaned, or filtered, or in case where one has multiple stems put together to be mixed.
Think of it a bit like vector vs pixel editing. OpenDAW is vectors (music info), audiomass is pixels (music data)
So want something like this but where the tracks are in the cloud. I want to "check out" someone's drum loop and add a guitar riff. Check it into a branch. Someone else checks out the drum+guitar, adds a bass line. Checks in. "Jamming" with other people is one of the most fun things. To the degree that you can "get close" on the web… RiffHub, anyone?
Yes. I’ve wanted something like this for a while. I’ve always wondered why there isn’t version control for DAWs. So many times I’ve spent hours editing a track and accidentally saved it without specifying a unique file name. Only to open it later and wish I could go back to before the changes that fucked it up.
A complete reconstruction would have to save and freeze all of those elements.
You can save references to save space, but you still need a complete collection of everything as a starting point.
And DAWs themselves regularly change their saved file formats.
For a completely secure reconstruction you'd have to save a complete virtual machine with the current DAW version, current OS, current installed plug-ins - with licensing and DRM - and all of the project data.

when have you last tried audacity? it's been getting friendlier
Agreed but it’s still not a proper DAW and suffers from those limitations. It gets very rickety when you go beyond a basic stereo mix.

I'm surprised no one has noticed this yet.
Author here. License is pretty much do whatever you want with it (free as in free information and free beer), I suppose the closest one to that would be MIT, but I don't like its serious legalese tone. I prefer the whimsical "free as in..." phrase
