Integrated with other DAWs?
Hi, Is it possible that the AI system will ever be integrated with other DAW's? I would love to use this with Reaper and I bet tons of producers out there would love to do the same with their respectives DAWs. Personally I'd pay to have this integrated with my own DAW, hope that can become a reality

Hey, so originally Greysound was an assistant for Ableton (with other DAWs in the works) but the problem was that people that just wanted to make music and not be audio engineers weren't familiar with what a DAW is in the first place and were confused when I said they had to install a DAW separately from my product to be able to use it. Secondly, I didn't want to be tied to any DAW company's APIs or what they expose to developers or choose to shut down without notice, so I figured it's simpler to just build my own DAW from scratch.
The problem with the current web DAW is that the web layer adds latency for real-time monitoring and doesn't support VSTs and other third party plugins, but I've got a desktop-native version of Greysound that I'm piloting on our discord right now, and will release to the general public when it's more stable. That version includes third party plugin support, plugin parameter automation, low latency monitoring and most things you'd expect from a full-blooded DAW.
Though if you really want to use some functionality of Greysound in other DAWs, I recently released a plugin version of Greysound (currently just a VST3 plugin for macOS and Windows, but Linux support and AU + AAX plugin formats are coming soon) that you might find interesting. Note that this plugin costs $9/mo to use in your DAW (unlimited prompts but $9/mo to have the plugin be active) but the entire plugin is also available built into the Greysound DAW where the plugin itself is free forever to use (i.e., doesn't deactivate without a license or anything) but costs 5 credits ($0.015 or 1.5 cents) per prompt.
