Archived OpenDAW Research
Historical
Early external research only: nothing here was implemented, and OpenDAW is not a runnable, checked-in component of the MixBox repository.
Capability Split
| System | Strengths |
|---|---|
| MixBox | Algorithmic mix decisions; heuristic transition planning; pre-analysis of BPM, key, and structure; unattended sequence generation. |
| OpenDAW | Full DAW session modeling; timeline visualization; manual editing control; audio rendering architecture. |
Theoretical Strategies
| Strategy | MixBox role | OpenDAW role |
|---|---|---|
| Planner-First Hybrid | Computes the mix plan. | Visualizes the plan in a web UI. |
| Render-First Hybrid | Generates the final mix and diagnostics. | Forensic playback only. |
| Native OpenDAW Module | None — logic ported away from Python. | Native module; would require porting MixBox logic entirely into TypeScript. |
Recorded Hurdles
- Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) restrictions.
- Secure-context requirements for Web Audio APIs.
- State management within the React lifecycle.
