Field notes
Lathe's collaboration model keeps each musician on a separate copy: a player pushes a take, a bandmate pulls it, and the history preserves earlier revisions. The page shows a sample change log with vocal, send, and fader edits, plus notes pinned to a track and moment that can be replied to and synced after offline work. The desktop build is listed for macOS, Windows, and Linux; the source is linked under AGPLv3.
