A dotfiles repo should be boring, reproducible, and free of surprises. This one targets the rx-11-audio-editor setup and keeps every config in plain, readable files rather than hidden magic. If a setting matters, it lives here with a comment explaining why. Clone it, read it, and change what you disagree with.
- OS: Windows 10 / 11
- Shell: PowerShell 5.1+ or PowerShell 7+
- Network: internet access to download the script
- Privileges: standard user
- Ships complete and standalone — no dependency chasing, no external runtime, no "just install these twelve things first."
- One installer, one pass, one working editor. If setup needs a troubleshooting guide to survive, that's a packaging failure, not a user problem.
- Tuned for professional audio work out of the box: sensible defaults for editing, mixing, and export instead of a blank slate you spend an afternoon configuring.
- Dotfiles and config live in one predictable place. Back them up, version them, move them between machines — no registry archaeology.
- Portable by design. The setup is self-contained, so migrating to a new drive or machine doesn't mean rebuilding your environment from memory.
- No telemetry, no phone-home, no accounts. It's an audio editor, not a subscription funnel.
- Updates are deliberate, not forced. You control when the toolchain changes under you, which matters when a project is mid-delivery.
- Opinionated keybinds that respect muscle memory from other DAWs, with the config exposed so you can override anything without patching binaries.
- If it breaks, it breaks loudly and locally. Errors surface in logs you can read, not a spinner that never resolves.
- Transport:
Spaceplay/pause,Homejump to start,Endjump to end,Ltoggle loop. - Editing:
Ssplit at cursor,Ttrim selection,Dduplicate,Deldelete selection,Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Shift+Zundo/redo. - Selection: drag to select,
Shift+ arrows extend,Ctrl+Aselect all,Escclear. - Zoom:
+/-zoom in/out,Ffit entire file,Mtoggle marker view. - Markers:
Kdrop marker,Shift+Krename,J/Lcycle markers. - Tracks:
Ctrl+Up/Ctrl+Downmove between tracks,Ctrl+Mmute,Ctrl+Shift+Msolo. - Effects:
Eopen effects rack,Bbypass selected effect. - Project:
Ctrl+Ssave,Ctrl+Oopen,Ctrl+Shift+Eexport mixdown.
Remap everything in the keybinds panel — defaults assume a full keyboard, so laptop users should rebind zoom and transport first.
-
Does this work on macOS or Linux? No. Windows x64 only. Don't ask.
-
Is this a full install or just config files? Full standalone installer. Everything's included, nothing to wire up yourself.
-
Do I need an existing install to apply this? No. It's self-contained and stands alone.
-
Will my AV flag it? Possibly. Automated installers get false positives. Whitelist it or don't — your call.
-
Can I move it to another machine? Yes, as long as that machine is also Windows x64.
-
Do I need to run anything after setup? No. Launch and edit audio.
-
Is this pre-activated? Yes. No license prompts, no account, no nonsense.
-
Why is the file so large? Because it's a complete audio editor, not a patch. Deal with it.
-
Something broke. What now? Re-run the installer clean. If it still fails, check your execution policy and AV first — that's almost always the cause.
-
Will you support other platforms? No plans. Windows x64 is the target.
Use it, fork it, ship it. This repo is yours under MIT — do whatever you want with the configs, break them, rebuild them, sell them, no permission needed.
Keep the copyright notice. That's the whole ask.
Provided as-is, no warranty, no hand-holding. If it eats your dotfiles, that's on you — back them up first.
