The DAW asks for a download, an account, a tutorial, an audio interface. Vest Suite asks for a tab.
01Why now
The on-ramp is broken
Desktop DAWs ship 5–20 GB installers, paid licences, and a learning cliff. Schools can't deploy them; students can't finish a first loop.
Browsers caught up
WebAudio, AudioWorklets, WebMIDI and PWAs now match desktop synths for latency and fidelity. The technical excuse is gone.
A new audience is here
A generation grew up making music in tabs and on phones. Educators need tools that meet them there — not another install guide.
