Speaking of which, how did that "audacity isn't FOSS" fuss end up? A quick search shows tenacity is still active ( https://codeberg.org/tenacityteam/tenacity ) but I have no idea how much the projects kept interacting after the initial debate

These are some really nice quality of life updates. I've never used time stretching, but combined with the beats and measure markers, it could be really nice.

this is made in wxWidgets by the way, a cross platform c++ GUI framework like Qt but 100% free

on the other hand inkscape is made with gtkmm(gtk), which also runs cross platform.

This is about halfway to a competent DAW (whereas before I feel we were at like 15%). You could really demo something pretty well with this I bet!

Yeah I don’t use this application much but I have occasionally created edits, condensed a song by shortening the intro or dropping a verse, and having beat alignment would be convenient

How does wxw and gtk roughly compare? I have liked the UI of Audacity moderately more than Inkscape, but I don't know where framework versus implementation is at play.

For some values of "works". Inkscape is close to unusable on MacOS because it goes through the X server and every interaction is really slow.

seems like its because they tried to add basic telemetry?

Audacity is a great suite of tools. Never thought to try to use it for arranging music but apparently now I can.
