Hi all.
I was thinking about starting something for iOS, since I have an iPhone. But I don't see any reason Android couldn't be included too.
Is there an accessible DAW for Android? I know somebody's developing an accessible equivalent of Gold Wave but that's not really a DAW. So I don't think it would be enough for me to include Android, since I'm thinking of focusing more on music creation.
iOS has Garage Band, among other options. Does Android have anything equivalent? I don't want to exclude anybody, assuming I end up doing it, but if there's not really anything happening on Android, it would help with focusing.

Check out WaveSmith
So, not sure if my app is exactly what you'd need, but from an accessibility standpoint it's the best thing going on Android for audio editting, in my not so humble opinion. Not sure what features would be missing for what you have in mind. Check out the app and docs, and if there are features that can be added, I'm not opposed.

Re: Check out WaveSmith
That's a single track editor, yeah? Like Gold Wave? I'm talking a DAW, like Reaper. To be clear, I don't own any Android devices, except an Amazon FIrestick, which IMO hardly qualifies.
I'm thinking of trying to set up a list or something about making music on, well it was initially going to be iOS, because that's what I'm on. But I don't want to exclude Android, if there's stuff for it. I mean I wouldn't be any help personally, but if people wanted to participate, that would be great.
It didn't seem to pick up much interest the last time I posted about it, but I might do it anyway, just because I think it's something that needs to happen. But it's also kind of a lot and I need to work out what makes sense for it.
iOS has Garage Band, a looper, several synths and so on, that are all accessible. I have no idea, beyond your editor, what Android has. I'm not going to buy a device to try and find out, I don't need another phone and I don't have the money anyway. Hence trying to create a community, so we can learn together and I'm not trying to figure everything out myself.
Anyway, though I'm sure you could do music in Wave Smith, it's really not the sort of thing I'm talking about, if I understand what it is correctly. That's nothing against it, single track audio editors are great. Just not quite the thing for doing music, usually. So unless I expanded it to, I dunno, media creation more generally, or audio in general I guess, I'm not sure it would make sense to include Android just for that. But I'm open to suggestions. Hell at least that should demonsrate interest!
