I was commenting only on the visuals.

I have no enthusiasm or interest in "DAW-as-service".

Ok, decoupling the UI for a free DAW via OSC makes more sense. I tried
clicking together a simple GUI with open-stage-control for some code I
wrote in extempore. It seemed too sluggish for my taste. Not sure if
it is a browser issue (I tried Chrome and Firefox) or an issue with
open-stage-control, or an issue with browser-/javascript-based things
in general. It would be nice to be able to create browser-based GUIs on
the fly if the resulting UI would feel less sluggish.

I've been using the GUI interface to a Soundcraft Ui16 mixer - the response
seems quite adequate, so it should be feasible for a DAW. The browser is
Firefox on an old laptop running Linux Mint 17. Ethernet wired connection
to the mixer. I occasionally use an Android tablet over WiFi to it using
Chrome, again response seems quite adequate for a GUI. I haven't looked
into the code yet...

I have Soundcraft UI16 too, and see a websocket+JS updating the browser DOM (see also Soundcraft's demo page http://www.soundcraft.com/ui-demo/mixer.html) .

Note however that there is no sound travelling, just GUI updates, so you don't actually hear what's going on, just see it (and control it).

Cheers,
Kees
