I see little to no information on whether or not it really whips the llama's ass

Jokes aside, 180db also ships with a demo track — a nod to llama.

At 26MB setup package it most likely doesn't.

We tried to keep it as lean as possible. MacOS itself adds quite a bit, and then there are libraries for format decoding, audio streaming, VST support, etc. Could it be smaller? Probably – but not by an order of magnitude.

26Mb sounds perfectly reasonable. Electron apps are usually 100+, and we live in a world where apps download gigabytes of LLMs in the background to do very basic stuff.

Wait, it doesn't do that does it?
