Hi!

I’m a beginner learning the JUCE framework, and my goal is to develop simple audio applications—such as an audio file slicing and labeling program. So far, I’ve completed the “Getting Started” and “Interface Design” sections of the official JUCE tutorials, and I’m currently exploring other tutorials and demos provided by JUCE.

My envisioned application is somewhat like a basic DAW, and while researching related topics, I came across the impressive Tracktion framework. I’m wondering whether you would recommend that a beginner like me dive directly into using Tracktion, or should I finish learning the JUCE tutorials and gather more foundational knowledge before exploring Tracktion?

Any advice or insights based on your experiences would be greatly appreciated.
