alt Hacker NewsDoes anyone see multitrack recording happening well in-browser?
Has anyone tried BandLab? Aside from the social slop and recent aggressive advertising, their recording app is super impressive, glitch free, low latency, easy to use and sounds great.
Or will this always be the domain of installable software?

Someone ported Audacity to the web. https://wavacity.com/

I've never recorded with BandLab, but used it a lot for playback, and for a beginner, it's really good and very easy to use.
With regards to recording - I'm curious how this would work on a scale like 16 ins at a time. Dumping bits from the interface to disk as uncompressed .wav is trivial, on the browser I'm not sure how storage works. Would it have to upload to the cloud immediately?
Serious question: Why would it be preferable to have something like this in the browser? The thought of having to keep track of a browser tab that you might accidentally close and lose all your work doesn't sound great.
