it says it uses Qt6 with rust, is it Qt6/c++ calling rust, or rust calling c++? This ui looks awesome, but where can I find code samples of mixing Qt6 and rust?

You mean qt6 and rust in your last sentence i think. Not on a computer right now but qml rust is reasonably mature. Will post later

yes, thanks!

This looks great if you need multi-track, but if you don't, another app I highly recommend is Rougue Amoeba's Fission. It's quick and simple, and it edits audio losslessly wherever possible. I actually really wish I had something similar for video...

Try this: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut

I am using the binary on macOS. The UI is a bit idiosyncratic but it works quite well and is ideal to cut a video down to the essential parts without loss of quality.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Reaper is awesome. But perhaps also not easy to get started with. A comparison to audacity seems more on point.

Yeah I agree this is a lot more like Audacity. But if it has chapter support and clips can be aligned like in something like a regular DAW, it has an advantage.

Can't audacity align clips? Audacity really should support chapters, there are already labels so, and I've seen some script to make metadata that can be applied to the export with ffmpeg.

avidemux can do some limited editing losslessly. Most notably is that for a lot of formats, cut points will be snapped to the nearest keyframe

Really appreciate the minimalism and simplicity (it's so rare in this industry!) and though obviously this app misses a lot of important sound editing features, I think it's a great start and the basis for something really cool. If I knew Rust I'd have offered myself as a contributor! Features that I think are critical for striking the minimalism/utility balance for podcast editing: - Enveloping per clip, i.e. fade i…

I did a podcast [1] and edited it myself, at first with Garage Band and then with Audacity. I used Audacity's package of audio processing. After learning the hot keys, I got reasonably proficient with it.

I'm not doing it anymore, but I'd be curious what suggestions you'd have.

(I have no idea what "ducking / side chain" means.)

I can't test this because I don't have the latest or greatest Mac, but what separates this from something like Reaper? From what I can tell this doesn't look anywhere near ready for production use. Reaper can do all of this on all platforms right now, even a RaspPi, for a $60 one time purchase. Teapodo has a pretty high bar to clear. I didn't see mention of VST support, does it include any VST's or VST support? I not…

On a Mac, GarageBand does almost everything you might need. I used to use Reaper, I was using it on a Mac back around V3, but the problem with Reaper is that it is general purpose and as someone else mentioned, that comes with a much steeper learning curve. A podcast app is more like a video editor... you pull in audio from various sources, sync it up, add in some jingles and background/intro/outro music, paste in ad…

I used GB for a while, but I found Audacity much better. It's overkill for podcast editing, but it IS free.

multi-track is actually great, since if one speaker makes some noise while the other is talking, you can just silence it.
