Impressive technical work and fast loading

Feels like the native app

Ability to record system output audio

Is there a way to record the output audio? Audacity on windows has the WASAPI option, which my wife has to use a lot.

Questions
How the canvas is rendered and whether shared array buffers were managed manually
From 2 comments
Very impressive work! I tried to play some loops and add some effects. They all went well. Did you manually handle the audio or is it wrapped in the portaudio-wasm? One thing I…

Whether there is a terminal-based keyboard-first multimedia editor
From 1 comment
Are there terminal based keyboard first audio/video editors? Sort of like vim but for multimedia.

I like this very much, especially because I love Audacity, but lately Audacity seems to be somewhat buggy as a native app on (Arch) Linux. With some versions I had rendering…
