See in the pic below, Kristal 2004 is playing back the sections of the compressed source files directly from the folder, the source files are not changed in any way, it's all done in the DAW non destructively.
The Kristal application worked on 98/ME
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

PC "State of the art" machine (> 1 GHz recommended)
OS Windows XP or 2000
(Win98/ME requires latest Internet Explorer 6.0, WinNT is not supported!)
Display 1280 x 1024 recommended, 1024 x 768 minimum
Sound ASIO-compatible sound card recommended,
but should work with everything else, too

It still works on Windows 10 ! there is no way this would be so on Mac as each new weekly version OS needs a new app version.
It even works on a 4K monitor

So if Kristal worked on those System Requirements and Biab could not work this way because of old users with old computers, how old are their computers ? DX4 100MHz, Pentium 100Mhz, Pentium 200Mhz ?

If Biab was made to work like the 2004 Kristal DAW now in 2023, how easy would it be to edit/copy tracks, not to mention the speed in generation because it's playing the tracks back directly from the source files non destructively.
