avon 2025-09-02 19:17:52 Hi all, I remember running into a wonderful blog post a while back where the author described recreating a DAW from a sort of hazel(github.com/hazelgrove/hazel)-like moldable programming environment. I unfortunately cannot find the post in my bookmarks, and my searching the last few weeks has turned up empty. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
Ivan Reese 2025-09-02 19:18:40 Was the interface textual? Or was it more like a timeline view similar to a typical DAW but more programmable?
avon 2025-09-02 19:24:12 From what I remember, the interface was textual and there might have been GUI elements embedded in the text editor.
avon 2025-09-02 19:25:17 I can’t quite remember if it was embedded gui or a bidirectional text <-> gui approach like sketch-n-sketch
avon 2025-09-03 00:04:18 Ah strudel does fit exactly the description I gave, but unfortunately the blog post was something different I think? I think it specifically used the phrase “programmable daw” and was more focused on a text environment that could replicate “traditional” daw functionalities, rather than something like strudel which is more pattern based.
Maybe I’m completely misremembering all of this, thank you for the help so far! I will follow up if I eventually find it.
avon 2025-09-05 19:07:15 I wasn’t able to find ** the post, but the Charlie Roberts paper is almost a better resource for the type of research I’m doing at the moment, and the awesome-livecoding page was also new to me and such an immense resource.
Thanks everyone!
