I see little to no information on whether or not it really whips the llama's ass

At 26MB setup package it most likely doesn't.
We tried to keep it as lean as possible. MacOS itself adds quite a bit, and then there are libraries for format decoding, audio streaming, VST support, etc. Could it be smaller? Probably – but not by an order of magnitude.
26Mb sounds perfectly reasonable. Electron apps are usually 100+, and we live in a world where apps download gigabytes of LLMs in the background to do very basic stuff.

Wait, it doesn't do that does it?

Jokes aside, 180db also ships with a demo track — a nod to llama.
