Record a new voice note

Microphone recording normally works when this app is opened from localhost or a secure website. Upload always works.

This free feature uses the browser’s speech-recognition service. Singing is harder than speaking, so the result is an editable first draft. Turn it off for a strictly local-only recording.

Download recording

Not recording.

Lyric draft: Ready to listen when recording starts.

Upload an existing voice note

No audio is attached to this project.

Song setup assistant

No estimate yet

Estimate the likely key and tempo locally. On phones, the app uses a shorter analysis window to prevent Safari from failing. A clean 10–30 second solo-vocal or rhythmic loop works best.

Upload a voice note first.

Tap tempo & metronome

Tap four or more times to find the tempo you feel. Use the count-in before piano or drum recording.

No tempo tapped.

Recording, chords and sections

Play the voice alone or hear the keyboard chords automatically at their markers.

STEP 4

Detect, play and edit melody notes

The local analyzer works best on a clean solo vocal. It gives clues, not perfect transcription, and sends no audio to the internet.

Local voice-note analysis

No melody analysis completed.

If a loop is selected, only that loop is analyzed. Otherwise the app analyzes up to the first 120 seconds.

STEP 5

Build separate drum patterns for each section

Tap pads, use 32 steps, load genre starters, add a fill, and switch between intro, verse, chorus and bridge.

Finger drum pads

Beat controls

Click a step once for a normal hit and twice for an accented hit. Record pad taps to place your live rhythm on the grid.

Beat grid

Tap a square to add or remove a drum hit.

Experimental mouth-beat converter

Local analysis

Beatbox a short kick, snare and hi-hat pattern into a voice note. Select that part with the loop controls, then convert the loop to the current drum grid.

Best with clear “boom”, “ka” and “tss” sounds and little background noise.

STEP 6

Create an editable rule-based arrangement

This is not Suno. It uses your chords to make editable MIDI-style piano, bass, pad and arpeggio parts.

Arrangement summary

Add chords, then generate a plan.

Plain-language vibe setup

Rule-based · local only

Describe the starting feel in ordinary language, such as “sad but hopeful 90s R&B ballad” or “bright modern dancehall”. The app sets a sensible BPM, mode, drums, swing, arrangement style and energy without copying another song.

No vibe applied yet.

Reference-feel analyser

No copying · local only

Upload a song you are allowed to use as a reference. The app estimates broad traits such as tempo, energy, brightness, density and stereo width; it does not copy melody or audio.

No reference selected.

Sketch mixer & audio bounce

Local WAV

This reduces rumble and evens out volume. It is not professional Auto-Tune or voice cloning.

Renders locally and includes the voice note when attached.

STEP 7

Export a complete handoff package

Keep your project, export individual MIDI files, or create one ZIP for a musician or producer.

Individual exports

Producer package

Creates a ZIP containing your original voice note, cleaned vocal WAV, vocal-plus-arrangement rough mix, separate WAV stems, lyrics, timelines, MIDI files, song information and producer notes.

Nothing exported yet.

Honest boundary

This local version organizes and develops your own musical ideas. It does not claim to create professional Suno-quality vocals, realistic full-band audio stems, or automatic commercial mixing and mastering without external AI services.

Project versions

Explicit saves and major bulk changes create restore points. Restoring a version keeps the currently attached voice-note file.

How to use your studio

  1. Open with START-STUDIO.cmd on Windows for reliable microphone recording and app installation.
  2. Create a song, upload or record the rough voice note, then mark sections and loops.
  3. Estimate key and tempo, analyze the melody, and audition the chord suggestions.
  4. Choose inversions, record single-note piano ideas, and build section drum patterns.
  5. Generate the editable arrangement, render a vocal-inclusive WAV and stems, then create the producer ZIP.
  6. Use Backup regularly. The app is private, but browser storage can be cleared.

Browser and audio system check

This checks whether the current opening method supports the studio's local features. It does not upload anything.
