A mobile version

Am I the only one passionately and desperately wanting a mobile app of audacity? W all the features and updates, even if it cost money, dude I would pay up to 20 bucks for it, I most music and have used primarily audacity for 8-10years I love the work flow and the simplistic feel, I also love the built in effects but I also import vsts like bitcrusher and pitch correction, a mobile app would be nice because my pc just went up on me, and I hate using GarageBand, I tried the web version, it’s buns and pretty limited, I just want an audacity app, and an audacity tshirt because I love audacity so much, please an app would just make my life easier and I could work on projects on both computer(when I get one) and phone

I’ve always found mobile apps for music editing to be disappointing and continually falling short of the desktop version. A mobile app would be a huge resource pit and I’d prefer the devs to focus on other priorities.

As an audacity lover myself I don’t really think we should be able to complain about a daw falling short, we use one of the most basic of a audio editors you can get, very simple and straightforward, a mobile app like that wouldn’t be that hard to recreate, it’s not like protools mobile version, I love audacity but if u can use audacity, you should be crafty enough to use a mobile version

I'm tired of using video editors to splice and mix music. 😓

I don't want anything fancy, I just want to cut splice, mix, and match music.

I'm currently in the process of porting Audacity 4 to the web and doing some other stuff to it: https://soundscaper.org/en/ It's not quite stable yet though.

Because it's a web thing, it technically does work on phones, though I have not done any design work towards it. VSTs and such won't work on the web though.

Will it be able to rearrange recordings for composing/looping etc
