A live-first DAW: a broadcast mixing console that records every source and the program mix as a side effect, with Pro Tools-class depth and Logic/Ableton-class approachability.
Status: exploratory spike. Phase 1 (engine proof) passed; phase 2 (engine daemon + mixer UI) in progress.

A C++20 real-time mix engine that applies live graph edits — inserting a processor, re-routing, adding or removing channels — without a click on the edited path and without touching a single sample on any other path. A benchmark runs the Tier 0 reference load (gate, HPF, 4-band EQ, compressor per channel; EQ, compressor, limiter per bus) on a simulated real-time clock or a CoreAudio device.
