Is adding 'audio' (e.g. WAV) tracks planned/up for consideration?

Hi.

Is it planned, or might it be implemented, to either (1) import an audio recording (say in WAV format) as a track in Helio, or even (2) record such audio from within Helio itself, apply effects etc. And export the mix of all tracks.

Option (2) would tun it into a full DAW rather than a MIDI sequencer; this may be outside the intended scope.

Perhaps (1) is more feasible? This would broaden Helio's usefulness to people who compose 'on top of' recorded audio.

Many thanks.

Perhaps someday. It has been a low-priority feature for me (see also comments in #129); the goal for this project is to focus more on "doing one thing and doing it well", specifically sequencer-related features (e.g. better support for in-place MIDI file editing or adding scripting).

Your suggestion totally makes sense, and you're not the only one who has suggested it, so maybe the next major version will include basic support for audio tracks if I have the time (although time is a premium these days, so no promises).

Thanks for your reply, Peter. Pardon my overlooking the related issue thread.

You must of course set your priorities as you see fit.

So only as a slight nudge: I concur with some comments in that other thread that even very basic support would be great: then one could experiment with MIDI composition around a bare audio track with Helio 'on the go' (on phone/tablet); and later take it to a DAW on a more powerful computer to do mixing etc.

Of course I've no idea how much work even 'basic support' might be.

In any case many thanks. It's a beautiful program; as its name suggests, it shines :-)
