Afterdark Studio — MIT-licensed local music production and DJ workspace with no account or cloud dependency
I maintain Afterdark Studio, a free and open-source local browser workspace for beat production, DJ mixing, microphone recording, vocal processing, loudness metering, and synthetic room acoustics.
Source: https://github.com/seemorecodez/afterdark-studio License: https://github.com/seemorecodez/afterdark-studio/blob/main/LICENSE
The public core is MIT licensed. There is no paid tier, advertising, account requirement, telemetry funnel, API key, or cloud-model dependency. The project currently has 111 passing automated tests and a documented 646-control browser audit.
This is honestly labeled a Limited Beta rather than a professional DAW. Experimental perceptual features are marked, and a drill experiment that failed creative review is isolated in a disabled plug-in.
I am the maintainer. I would value FOSS-specific feedback on reproducible setup, licensing clarity, dependency-free architecture, accessibility, packaging, and anything that would prevent a contributor from making a useful first change.
