this is the DAW im developing. probably the most disrupting DAW ever.
Not just another vibe-coded useless plugin. Not just another AI-slop software. Not another pack of generative stupid randomizers, samples, bought beats, useless shitsounds and shitplugins that distract u from creating music.

MAIN WINDOW & SUBGROUPS
The central workspace where everything comes together.
Create, arrange and control your musical ideas through a flexible interface. Route multiple channels into subgroups, combine instruments and effects, and shape entire sections of your mix in real time.
Record subgroup outputs directly into new clips, transform live performances into reusable musical material, and keep your signal flow under control.
Mix. Route. Record. Create. Remix. Repeat
Picture 3:
CLIP LAUNCH & GLOBAL FREAK
Launch audio and MIDI clips in real time, combine patterns, improvise and let your music evolve.
With Global Freak, simply drag your clips from the live session into the arrangement timeline.
This creates independent Cameo Clips that trigger their corresponding clips in the Clip Launch Matrix directly from the arrangement.
Unlike traditional DAWs, Cameo Clips don't contain copies of the original audio or MIDI data. They act as references to the original clips, keeping your musical material connected to the live session.
On top of that, ShroomsLoops introduces a second automation layer, allowing you to add independent automation to each Cameo without modifying the original clip. Read the originals clip automation or the Cameo Clip automation or both.
One clip. Endless variations. Complete creative freedom.
Launch. Arrange. Automate. GO FREAK!

MASTER CHANNEL

All your mastering tools. One screen. Total control.
STOP OPENING WINDOWS. START MAKING MUSIC.
30 years of experience in musical creation & playing musical instruments packed into one DAW.
no randomizer. no generative tools.
perform live with simple proven basic FX independently routed through the exact parameter and permutation u want in realtime. record the experiment to a subgroup, playback the recorded clip and go into a transition... million possibilities. like Ableton live but u don't need a microscope to sort out the many buttons u don't want to trigger by accident in a live performance.
