If you're re-arranging audio/video without doing anything to the audio itself (like amplification, dynamic range compression, noise reduction), it has the advantage of not having to decompress/recompress the audio/video which can introduce more artifacts.

Seems like a very neat project. Unfortunately, 90% of what I do in Audacity is dynamic range compression, so it's a moot point for me.

Sure thing! Being able to rearrange A/V without having to decode/reencode it is really neat, though. They deserve major props for what they've been able to accomplish so far.

I'd love to see audio editing that happens purely in the frequency domain. It would be almost like lossless editing, as (AFAIK) you'd be tweaking the already-lossy-compreased values, rather than decode -> edit -> encode.

I'd love to see an editor smart enough to edit a compresses audio stream directly…

...but I know that's a BIG ask, and would require extensive research and re-writing to support more than one codec.

A whitelisted network! Hmm! :D

WOW. That's two years before my first experiments on the fediverse.

What was it like back then? Was Mastodon even a thing, or was it just GNU Social?

I know most of the crew at @tuxjam were on the fedi for a very long time, going all the way back to the identi.ca days.
