Does this load the whole file into memory while it's being worked on? What if you tried to load a file that is too big? I wonder with these more complex productivity web-apps becoming more common, how something like a video editor might work that needs to work on data too large to put in memory.

Yes, it is all in memory. I am taking advantage for IndexDB for local drafts. And localstorage for plugin presets. But it does not match the flexibility of being able to create lots of big uncompressed files and cache in the disk while workign on a project.

So everything needs to use lower fidelity settings, or do things like compress WAV files in a lossless way with LZMA since other avenues are too heavy. I am not seeing this becoming something like Audacity or Audition replacement, but a quick tool for modifying audio files on the fly.
