# ⏳ Improved Loading Indicators

_2025-10-17 — improved_

We've completely reworked how Concerto shows loading progress when opening audio files.

## Know What's Happening

Previously, the loading indicator would disappear during decoding and rendering phases, leaving you wondering if the waveform was still loading — especially for large files.

Now you'll see exactly what Concerto is doing at every step:

- **Downloading audio...** — fetching the file with a progress bar
- **Decoding audio...** — processing the audio data
- **Rendering waveform...** — drawing the visualization

The animated waveform icon keeps you informed that things are still working, even during phases where we can't show percentage progress.

## No More Mystery Waits

Large files can take time to decode and render. With the new phase-specific feedback, you'll always know that Concerto is working — no more wondering if something froze!

**Happy creating,**

**The Concerto Team**
