After trying again it appears to be working, the issue was that after the song ended I instinctively pressed the "Record WAV File" again to stop the recording not realizing it stops automatically after the song ended, thus starting another recording, after stopping the recording I did accidently, I click cancel in the "Save File" window to not over-write the file I thought I just exported previously, and notice after listening to the file I exported that the recording before didn't save, I put the same name as the 5 second test I did, that's why I thought it saved as a 5 second version, I would consider this a bug since I did click "Save" in the "Save File" window when exporting the first time, but the method to export the whole song is still a *really* monotonous task to listen to the whole song every time I want to export it, is there like an "export the whole song" option somewhere ?

Good news!
Yes, I agree with you, it can be a monotonous task to listen to the whole song every time you want to export it, but normally you only do this once, when you have finished your song. And while exporting, you can use Live Mode (press TAB) which allows you to apply live effects while recording a WAV 😉
We definitely need instant export like other audio editors, I’m gonna work iteratively by tweaking a few things between each export so I need to export a lot without extra delay. I’m not using live/DJ features so I don’t have particular benefits in listening to the whole track. I suspect the application currently actually records what is played and that’s why it needs to play it, but there is probably a way to export the track “headlessly” i.e. processing everything in the background, without having to render audio to the user?
Does this require a separate Feedback thread?
