Rezound with a small update for Qt5 support looks quite decent.

Maybe a good alternative to Audacity?

@falktx I think it needs some good tools/plugins to really work doesn't it?. Good metering would be nice. Broadcast tools would also help for loudness stuff. But yyeah, it looks clean and crisp

@openmastering well "just" bridge in carla with that and we have access to pretty much all plugins we want.
Carla has a native API that allows to be reused inside other tools, Zrythm is already making use of this.

So many possibilities, so little time...

@falktx Is the audio engine up to par with more recent softwares or is it irrelevant?

@openmastering no idea, that would require digging a lot deeper.
It is an old project that has been barely been kept up to date, so I would guess not much... but it is pure speculation of course.

@falktx I'd love to support a second FOSS audio editor. If you ever want to tackle this, I'd support however i can

@openmastering that is very appreciated, but a few people alone are not enough.
I would love to work on these things full time, but without a massive audience for support, it won't happen.

So for now I can help on maintenance, providing a way to do automated builds.
Someone else on IRC is trying to get a few more things working on the Qt5 build.

Are you familiar with AppImage or similar frameworks? Or do you know anyone who is? (and is willing to help, of course)

@falktx It's "just" packaging right?
I'd be willing to learn it and maintain it.

@openmastering right, it is mostly packaging. though stuff like AppImage can involve using scripts for certain tasks.
Also, AppImage is just one of many possible formats. I do not know which one is the best, and it is better to not start this discussion here anyway, everyone has their own opinion and preferences.
