# Maolan
[](https://crates.io/crates/maolan)

Maolan is a Rust DAW focused on recording, editing, routing, automation, export, and plugin hosting.
[maolan.rs](https://maolan.rs)

## Platform Notes
- Unix builds support CLAP, VST3, and LV2.
- Windows builds support CLAP and VST3.
- Plugin compatibility is host-dependent and should be treated as evolving rather than guaranteed.
## Build
### Prerequisites
- Rust toolchain (edition 2024)
For Unix audio integrations, install platform libraries as needed (for example `jack`, `alsa`, `rust`, and `cargo` where applicable).
### Compile and run
`maolan/` is a Cargo workspace. Build from that directory:
```bash
cd maolan
cargo build --workspace --release
cargo run --release
```
### Debug logging
```bash
cd maolan
cargo run --release -- --log-level debug
```
