Hi everyone!
My proprietary DAW – OMNI – is fast approaching the beta phase. Before that happens, though, I need to thoroughly test the alpha version under battle conditions. And that's where I need your help!
I'm looking for enthusiasts and producers who would like to drop OMNI into their daily workflow, test the application on their own hardware, and report all encountered bugs, crashes, or feedback directly to me.
What you should know:

Systems: I'm looking for people working on both Windows and Linux.
Form: Complete volunteering – we're doing this out of passion!
How it works: Each tester will get access to a dedicated folder where I will be uploading the latest builds on an ongoing basis.
What do I offer in return?
In addition to my immense gratitude and a real impact on the program's development – when the application enters the beta phase, I will create a special thank-you tab on the website. If you wish, your name (or nickname) will appear there with an official note on how you helped build OMNI.
How to apply?
Write to me here in a private message or directly through the website: 🌐 omnidaw.com
Huge thanks in advance for any support. Let's create something cool together! 🎹🔥

Awesome! Thanks for reaching out and willing to help.
​Please head over to omnidaw.com and drop me a message through the website to get things started. Also, let me know which operating system (Windows or Linux) you'll be testing OMNI on so I can get the right build ready for you.
​Looking forward to working together!

I invite everyone interested to test the new Iris synthesizer, a combined MIDI FX panel, FX modulation and device, in one chain.

This looks very interesting!!!! How do you plan to monetize it?
Vendor‑Dependent Copy Protection: Customers lose. Pirates win.:mad:
(Also: I'm Accused of lying about Linux—it boots, runs my pro audio workflow, stays stable, updates--though yearly dismissed as “niche”. Yet I'm the deluded one.)

What copy protection will it use?

Thanks! It's a completely free project with absolutely no copy protection. I don't plan to force any monetization—I'll just rely on voluntary 'pay-what-you-want' donations if a community ever forms. Please note it's provided 'as is' without warranty.

I love that! I would advise that you add a minimum to the 'pay-what-you-want' donations. PWYW has a history of not doing too well with monetization.

Genuine question: What can it offer over Reaper on Linux? If this is substantial then I'd be happy to try it out, but I'd only be using it on Linux. I am not dual-booting at all. In fact using zero windows software is the goal.

Well.... Reaper now supports containers, but they only support serial or parallel connections. They don't have the ability to branch like Element can. This could be really important and useful if you are doing a setup like I suggested above, where you can load one setup instance while using the other instance. I'm not sure about Carla--it may be able to do that too, but I don't know. I would suggest downloading the newest free binary version available, and see what it does for you. If you like it, you can pay for the newest version. That way, you don't lose any money while you are testing things to see if they will do what you need.

Sorry that post was re the Omni DAW in the post above...I should have made that comment in my post.
