Hopefully not abandonware

Sorry mate, this here is disposable software.

(comment deleted)
Huh, thought ArtCraft slopsuite had something like it. But then again we're moving from the world where we coop to build complex software to one embracing NIH with fleets of agents remaking everything.
I haven't used it but it looks more like a UAD Luna clone. Which of course is also another DAW so basically same thing.

Glad they're already aware of the name use, though I'm not sure "LYNX SHARE" is going to be distinct enough to differentiate. That said, the project looks cool and I hope it sticks around a while. I'm not super experienced at software DAWs, but I'd be excited to play with this one and learn some.

this is interesting. can you share a bit more about your process? I see your visible GitHub activity starts early October 2026

Uhh, would it work if I add "and make it completely new" to the prompt?
Maybe? LLMs sometimes provide suggestions that are novel or highlight overlooked ideas. Sometimes I'll oneshot a narrow problem and invite coding agents to get creative about how they chart some complex data and am pleasantly surprised by the results.

I'm absolutely not snobby about where the ideas originate or how they are realized, if the end product functions well. I don't don't want to waste time assessing newly-reinvented wheels. This problem predates the advent of vibecoding for the masses.

  > I have no idea what makes it different from any other freeware/open source DAW.
This claims to be able to open .flp files. That's a big deal for me. If it works.
I can understand that you want to build an open source DAW (that also runs on Linux). I can also understand that you are inspired by features of an existing DAW. But you are ripping of FL Studio completely (same names, same colors, same UI, even the logo...)

Did Image-Line do something that upsets you? They are actually a great company that have been improving FL Studio for almost 3 decades.

You buy it once and receive free upgrades for the rest of your life (I bought mine +20 years ago) There is no payway, no subscription. You can subscribe to FL Cloud, but that's completely optional.
