So when is Next?

2015 is the year where Audiotool makes a huge step towards the future

No flash-plugin

Pure html5, based on defrac

Increased performance

Lower latency



Less memory usage

New tools

New features



New plugins

Live collaboration

So when will it happen and will it all come at once?

Not only that we are actually rebuilding Audiotool from scratch, we are also challenging every single existing feature and tool, trying to find better solutions in terms of performance, usage and stability. We are making good progress and we hope to give you something mature to play with till summer 2015. We like to see this update as a progress. We want you to be involved into decisions when-ever possible.

So starting in summer we have a series of updates coming up before we eventually will shut down the current flash application and move it to a museum.

Behind the scenes

We have 80% of the core functionalities up and running. Right now we are implementing a lot of new features in different domains of Audiotool. It is not yet decided which features will be exposed in the first updates and which will be released later this year. In any case we want to share the features that most likely will make it into Next this year. So here we go!
