Hey Linux audio community,

This is a difficult announcement to make, and I know this is probably the wrong time to release something like this.

With the current landscape and more tools getting sloppier everywhere, things are only going to get worse, so I decided to launch it today in a bit of a rush.

For the context, I am a computer engineer and a pianist, and I love making pixel-art in my free time. I’ve been working on this project for quite a long time, since I wanted to easily make music for my pixel-art game.

I know how deeply this community values open source, and I'm a huge fan of it too, since all my past projects were open source.

However, since this is currently my only form of income, I’ve decided (for now) to put the binaries here on https://rendevs.itch.io/robin-daw , as closed-source.

Please only buy it if you genuinely want to support me, since you might get it open source later on. Note also that the project has been tested, but there might still be bugs since this is a first release.

To be completely upfront about what it is: it's a minimal DAW focused on low latency.

It does not support VST plugins right now.

If you give it a spin, I'd genuinely appreciate your thoughts and feedback.

Linux only (x86-64) for now. Tested with the Hydrasynth Desktop firmware 2.2.0, which is not included: you need the firmware file from ASM's firmware pack.

Some of you may have seen my earlier post about Sonara. I've now started providing release builds, starting with beta v0.1 today 😄

I've done a lot of cleanup and quality-of-life improvements, like:

• Improved UI, and made it customizable (though light theme is TODO)
• VST3 support
• .dawproject interop (Bitwig and I think some other DAWs too can export it)
• and much more I can't remember off the top of my head :)

It's available for x86/AMD64, it's runnable, but includes a installer script which adds a desktop launcher, .sonara file association and a sonara command.

Whether you install from itch app itself or via the archive, it can update itself as well.

I'll likely push updates quite often, so when updates to come, they can potentially make older projects need some migration if data/project formats change.

JellyBox v2.10 was released. For those who missed what is it - JellyBox is a native crossplatform music player for Navidrome/Jellyfin/Emby, works on desktops(including most linux distros, arm and x86), mobile and cars(carplay, android auto, android automotive OS)

This release added:

New Features

• Added mobile home-screen widgets.
• Added Chromecast as a playback target. iOS might be flaky, sometimes it needs few times to cast and stop until it works. Not sure whats the problem yet.
• Added relay. Using relay you can connect to your jellyfin server remotely without need to use tailscale, VPN or port forwarding. Connect in settings. Needs you to install Jellyfin plugin.
• View lyrics in full-screen Studio mode, with word-by-word highlighting when available.
• Added ratings for Navidrome songs, with a rating toggle in the bottom bar.
• Added a left side ruler for quickly navigating alphabetically sorted lists.
• Added support for custom ListenBrainz server addresses.
• Added a setting to clear cached images.
• Added a remote server address. This should be used for tailscale, VPNs or anything where your remote address differers from local.

Improvements

• Album pages have a refreshed design with animated cover art when available.
• Artists on album pages are now clickable.
• Albums on artist pages are sorted from newest to oldest and show their release year.
• Liked songs can be downloaded and, on Navidrome, sorted by when they were liked.
• Downloaded playlists and liked songs are now available in CarPlay and Android Auto. Queues can also be restored when the server is offline.
• Playback stays on the selected device when controlling another device, and reconnects more reliably after starting from a car or Bluetooth control.
• Switching back from AirPlay is clearer: the current device remains hidden until playback is switched back.
• Desktop window controls are now available throughout the app, including the login screen.
• Studio mode windows can now be dragged on Windows and Linux.
• Horizontal rows no longer scroll unexpectedly when using a mouse wheel.
• Home-page rows support pull-to-refresh(from left to right).
• Control colors better match the current cover art, with an option to disable this behavior.
• Playlist cover art is now centered.

Bug Fixes

• Improved stability on Android, in-car use, and session restoration across devices.
• Fixed artist results from Navidrome being shown outside the selected library.
• Fixed playback queue items not being replaced correctly when starting the app or switching devices.
• Fixed the Linux app name appearing incorrectly in some places.

Howdy,

I got a wave:3 el gato mic recently and I'm trying to use it for my discord calls-- but it plays back the input through my headphones at all times.

i think it is called live monitoring but i really want to turn this feature off-- i have open-wave but it doesn't seem i am able to do it from there.

god help me, thanks
