Yeah - Bezie definitely didn't take years! It's interesting that basic curves don't exist in some DAWs. My guess is that the codebase is monolithic and there's probably lots of legacy code that is hard to touch. Hopefully Bezie works out for you and thanks so much for the review!

It's more that Bezier curves are questionably useful for audio parameter automation.

If you're automating level and panning you need assorted log/lin/exp curves, not Beziers. You also need to be able to see the waveform you're automating, which is something Bezie fails to offer.

Parameters automation works better with standard ease in/out curves and keyframing. Beziers are a special case of a more general problem.

This looks very nice, but I'm not sure how useful it's going to be to most users in practice.
