Show HN: Sawtooth – Online audio workspace
As an amateur producer, I&#x27;m wondering: what&#x27;s the utility of something like this?<p>If I create a new set, I have the option to use the &#x27;Synth&#x27;.<p>Let&#x27;s be very honest here: if I want to make real music, I&#x27;m going to turn to a serious DAW + synth plugin. I personally use both Massive and Serum with Ableton. Anything you cook up in a webapp is going to fall seriously, <i>seriously</i> short of what Serum can do.<p>Not to mention that a web tool just doesn&#x27;t fit into the workflow. The synth is the heart of digital music production. If I&#x27;m making music in Ableton, I want my synth to be inside Ableton.<p>This might interest absolute amateurs, but amateurs won&#x27;t pay for this, and by the time they are advanced enough to <i>want</i> to pay, they would have discovered Ableton&#x2F;Logic&#x2F;FLStudio.<p>I don&#x27;t mean any offense, but I find that online music tools like this are generally very poorly thought. They are a solution searching for a problem instead of the other way around.<p>A lot of people need simple tweaks to their photos or graphics. This is why online photo editing tools work even though they fall far short of Photoshop in capabilities.<p>But audio&#x2F;music? This isn&#x27;t something your average Joe needs for his Instagram profile or his Facebook business page. If someone is serious about music&#x2F;audio editing, he will eventually want to use a professional tool.<p>Not to mention that Ableton Lite is quite decent for someone new to music production
