    nice to see a proper open-source multitrack editor that isn't tied to one OS. how does latency hold up with lots of tracks?

      i have not benchmarked the playback yet. the performance should be industry standard an not a concern.

        the audio callback is lock free and the dsp is vectorised. i think you can expect very good performance. there is a dsp load meter implemented that displays spikes in the load. anyways... adding benchmarks is in my backlog.

        the dsp meter sounds useful - i'd still be curious to see track-count and buffer-size benchmarks when you get to them.

      is audacity not multitrack?

        let's hope audacity and audionaut will happily co-exist and learn form each other.

        Yeah but it’s not very good, crashes often and has been acquired by a company pushing some online subscription

        you're right, audacity is multitrack too - i wasn't trying to imply this was the first one.
