What this does not do

Orbit Waves is a browser mix for a song you already have. A few things people expect from a big studio program are outside it on purpose. Naming them here keeps the rest of the wiki trustworthy.

Sound

• The server split can still leave a little bleed between parts on a dense mix.
• Pro master is loudness plus a limiter. It does not match a reference track with a separate matching engine.
• FLAC is written without the usual compression, so the file is larger than you might expect.
• Around you is a headphone preview. The saved file is stereo. It is not Dolby Atmos, and the app does not load VST, AU, or CLAP plugins.

The desk

• No piano roll, notation, or MIDI studio. The desk has audio. A controller can move faders. It does not record notes.
• Count this part in 3 stores the meter. It does not time-stretch the audio to fit.
• Remembered parts do not chain themselves when playback ends. Play the next part is a button.
• Recording is one input, one take.

Accounts and money

• Hosted sign-in is explained and not completed until it is configured.
• The mix polls for tool edits. It does not yet subscribe to a live database channel.
• Payments stay off. Spend is a meter.

If a button is in the mix, it does the thing the label says. If a feature is not in this wiki, it is not in the app.
