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.

Logic Pro allows you to revert to previous saves / auto-saves.

Reaper makes periodical autosaves.

Bandlab Studio, maybe? Never used it, but might be what you're looking for. There's a web version and a mobile app. https://www.bandlab.com/creation-features

This is roughly the idea but the platform is very clunky. My band also somehow lost access to some tracks due to permissions vagueries and in general the experience is very enshittified. I would not recommend it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Try Ocenaudio - I’ve used pretty much every audio editor free and paid for and this is my go to for a free editor. I also cannot understand why anyone would recommend Audacity.

Hehe ditto I get flak for this, but Audacity is my "proof" that GIMP's name is why people don't use it, not the UI. Like GIMP, Audacity's UI is awful, but people still use it. :)

I used audacity 20 years ago and the interface is still the same. That is also worth something.

Have a look at https://opendaw.org/

I recently saw a talk of the developer who basically bootstrapped this. Open source and all, and he talked about the idea of collaboration and showed some features and forks that sounded like what you want.

Yes if you’re collaborating with 10 people in the same project, otherwise non sense.

While not exactly the hub style you mentioned, maybe this is as close to Jamming you can get.
