Hello, this is my first time working with JUCE, and I wanted to ask what you guys think the time frame would look like for developing a simple DAW. The goal is to have a piano roll, a track view instrument view, and also a mix view. To also have the ability to edit tracks. For me this sounds like a lot of work, whereas I was thinking of just using Tracktion as I also wanted to add some extra features around the DAW.
If you use Tracktion Engine, you’ll pretty much only have to write the UI yourself as it does all the other features you mention.
With JUCE, the nuts and bolts are there but you’ll have to build everything apart from the low level components (take a look at the TE source code as that’s essentially what you’ll end up writing).
This is difficult to guess but many features can be defined as purely UI and operations on the the TE model.
Ok thanks for the help. I’ll go ahead and use the tracktion engine as it looks to be what I need
