An idea is
enough to start
A sound on your computer, a melody in your head, or a few songs for someone you miss. Find your space, make something and invite feedback before you share it.
Come as you are. Start with what you have.
A first project in every tool
Choose a tool for a three-step exercise, an example and a silent motion demo. The demo illustrates the workflow; your own project starts empty.
15 of 15 tools
MIDIA four-bar bass phrase
Draw melodies, chords and bass lines in a piano roll. Shape timing and velocity, then export MIDI or bring a rendered phrase into Composer.
- Create a project, choose a tempo and draw a few notes in the piano roll.
- Press Play. Adjust note length and velocity; try Quantize and Undo to compare the timing.
- Save the phrase. Export MIDI for editable notes, or render WAV to the library and use it in Composer.
What you keepEditable notes, or a rendered audio phrase. MIDI files contain notes rather than recorded sound.
SongwriterA chorus about returning an old key
Turn a spark into lyrics or an album concept. Explore stories, song structures, rhymes, line rhythm and unexpected musical directions.
- Create a project and write a few lines in Lyric sheet. Give each verse or chorus its own section.
- Use Craft and Rhymes to explore line rhythm and endings. In Idea lab, give the story a place, a person and one concrete detail.
- Save the draft. Copy lyrics or Download TXT when the words are ready for Recording or an Album page.
What you keepA lyric sheet and private working notes. The writing helpers do not generate audio.
RecordingA short vocal take over a backing track
Record instruments and voices, or practise with illustrated vocal lessons, pitch and ear training. Keep the takes, shape the mix and bring it into your library.
- Create a project, open Recording booth and allow microphone access. Use headphones and check the input level.
- Record a short take, stop and listen back. Keep useful takes and place them on the timeline.
- Save the project and export a mix when ready. Vocal practice, Rap practice and Guitar tuner are separate practice tabs.
What you keepRecorded audio and an editable arrangement. Keep a local recovery take if upload fails.
EditorRemove the false start from a voice memo
Work on one audio file at a time. Trim, cut and repair recordings, apply effects and inspect the sound before saving a new audio file.
- Create a project in Editor and choose Open audio. Start with a short, ready library file.
- Select the useful range in the waveform. Play selection, then Trim to selection to keep it or Cut selection to remove it.
- Listen again and export the edited copy. Save the project to retain the editing setup.
What you keepA new audio file. The source remains in your library; use Undo to compare edits.
ComposerA voice, a drum loop and a bass phrase
Arrange recordings, loops and stems on a multitrack timeline. Build sections, balance the mix and merge them into a finished track.
- Create a project and use Add sound to place ready recordings on separate timeline lanes.
- Move clips into position. Snap to beats, trim their edges and balance volume and pan while listening.
- Save the arrangement and choose Export track for a finished mix. Use the exported audio in another tool.
What you keepAn editable multitrack project and a mixed audio file. Saving the project alone does not render a mix.
FoleyFootsteps, a door and a room tone
Record your own effects, bring in found sounds and generate new ones with AI. Shape them into a sound collection or layer them into a finished effect.
- Record a sound or import a ready library file. Give it a useful name and retain source and credit information.
- Choose excerpts and layer the sounds to build an effect. Play it back and balance the levels.
- Save the collection or export layered audio. Optional Generate uses configured provider access and a price approval.
What you keepReusable sound effects and collections. You can record and import without paid generation.
SoundscapesA forest with occasional footsteps
Blend continuous loops with weighted random sounds. Create a haunted room, a role-playing world or an atmosphere that changes as it plays.
- Add a wind or forest recording as a continuous background loop.
- Add birds and footsteps as chance events. Set their intervals, weights and levels under the layer options.
- Press Play and listen to several variations. Save the setup and use Stop when the scene is finished.
What you keepA living soundscape setup. Sharing it lets listeners run the scene; it is not a recording of one performance.
VisualizerA lyric film with a photo and moving text
Cut clips to the beat. Build lyric videos, moving graphics and stories with your music at the centre.
- Create a project, choose the soundtrack in Audio and add an image or visual clip to the timeline.
- Add lyrics in Words. Adjust clip start and end times, scrub the timeline and preview how the layers meet.
- Save the score. In Output, render video when your browser supports it; start with a short test.
What you keepAn editable visual score and, after rendering, a video file. Preview quality does not change export resolution.
VoxBoxA two-character conversation
Write a scene, build your cast and give each line a recorded or imported voice.
- Add the characters to Cast and write their dialogue as separate scene lines.
- Assign a character and a recorded or imported voice take to each line. Adjust pauses and listen to the scene.
- Save the scene. Render dialogue WAV for the combined audio, or use the script and subtitle export options.
What you keepA cast, script and voiced scene. Writing dialogue alone does not create a voice take.
DJBlend the end of one song into the next
Cue two tracks, adjust their speed and blend them with an independent deck mixer.
- Load a ready track into deck A and another into deck B. Start with low master volume.
- Set cue points and listen to each deck. Adjust speed when useful, then move the crossfader to blend them.
- Stop both decks when finished and save the setup. A saved automix sequence keeps your planned track order.
What you keepA playable deck setup or automix sequence. Publishing the setup does not record your live mix.
LiveBuild a groove one loop at a time
Launch loops and backing tracks. Record a new loop and build your performance around it.
- Add a drum loop, bass and texture from the library. Set the tempo and launch quantisation.
- Launch the first clip, then add another layer. Try Record loop for a new recording and listen before keeping it.
- Stop the clips and save your performance setup so it is ready for the next rehearsal.
What you keepA reusable clip launcher. Check that your loops fit the tempo before performing.
TheaterRain, a train and a fade to silence
Build a running order of sound cues, fades and pauses. Keep the next moment under your hand.
- Add ready sounds to the cue list in show order. Give each cue a name you can recognise quickly.
- Set fades and any automatic follow. Rehearse the sequence with GO before the show.
- Save the running order. Keep Stop all within reach and test the output volume in the room.
What you keepA cue sheet for live playback. GO advances the show; it does not create an exported recording.
SoundboardsThree pads: Door, Footsteps and Rain
Turn your sounds into something anyone can play.
- Create a project and add a short, ready sound to each pad.
- Name the pads, set their volume and choose playback modes. Test a one-shot sound and a loop separately.
- Save the board. Publish a fixed edition when you want someone else to play it by link.
What you keepA playable collection of pads. Stop all sounds before changing playback settings.
MixtapesThree songs for the long way home
Make a personal listening gift, one track at a time.
- Add tracks and arrange the listening order in Tracks.
- In Gift & sleeve, add artwork and a personal message. Voice message lets you add a spoken greeting.
- Save, open Preview and listen. Publish an unlisted edition for a gift link when you have permission to share the tracks.
What you keepA listening gift with a fixed track order. Anyone with an unlisted link can open it.
AlbumsAn EP with lyrics and a photograph for each song
Bring tracks, pictures and words together in a digital booklet.
- Add the tracks and put them in order. Choose the cover and album title.
- Build Booklet pages with pictures, lyrics and stories. Add the people behind the work in Credits.
- Save and open Preview to check the pages and audio. Publish a fixed edition when everything is ready.
What you keepA digital listening booklet. Draft edits do not update an already published edition.
Find your studio
Sign in with your verified account and open Studios to see your access. Studio places are limited and assigned by the DAW.Town team. An account alone does not reserve a place. Once you have an allocation, create and name your studio.
You can also join an existing studio. Its owner creates an invitation link for your verified email address and shares it with you. Editors can change shared work; viewers can read and listen. Personal provider connections stay with each account.
Check your studio accessAdd your sounds
Open the studio library and upload your audio, images or video. Let processing finish before using a file. You can also record a take in Recording and add it to the library. Keep source information and permissions with the media you bring in.
For a microphone recording, your browser will ask for access. Try a short take first and listen back with headphones.
Open the libraryPick a tool
Make a project
Start with Songwriter for lyrics and song or album ideas, MIDI for melodies and chords, Editor for one audio file, Composer for multitrack arrangement, Soundboards for playable pads, or Mixtapes for a personal listening gift. Visualizer turns your soundtrack into lyric videos and moving pictures. Foley and Soundscapes help you build effects and living atmospheres.
Each tool uses the same studio library. Save your changes as you work. A draft stays inside your studio unless you share a review copy or publish a release.
Choose your toolBuild your
contact book
Owners and editors can open Contacts to keep names, contact information, social links, birthdays, tags and notes for their studio. Use the contact picker when adding production credits; it inserts the public name and role.
In Dynamic lists, choose criteria such as tags, age, role, location or accepted beta status. Membership updates automatically as those details change. For example, a list of accepted listeners tagged “vocalist” keeps itself current without editing its members by hand.
In Messages, preview the people who qualify before sending. Contacts need permission to receive studio email; a beta panel invitation asks them to accept, and every email includes an opt-out link.
Open ContactsAsk before
you release
Open Feedback, choose a saved, playable production and set your brief and deadline. The review keeps that saved revision while you continue editing your draft. Confirm that you have permission to share its media.
Invite individual contacts or a dynamic list of eligible listeners. Each receives a private link to play the production and leave comments, optional ratings and timestamped notes without an account.
Read and mark feedback as resolved in the review page. You can revoke one invitation or close the whole round early. Links expire at the deadline. Share each link only with its intended listener: anyone who has it can use it while it is active.
Open FeedbackWrite the song
Build its world
Open Songwriter, create a project and start with a verse or chorus. Add, rename, reorder or duplicate sections as the song takes shape. Craft shows estimated syllable counts and repeated words; Rhymes offers a small Danish and English rhyme notebook. Read the lines aloud before trusting a count or a rhyme.
In Idea lab, choose one song or an album. Start with your own idea or a story seed, then give it a place, a person, a conflict and a detail only you would notice. Change the perspective to see the story through a witness, an object or its aftermath. The outline helps a song move between verses, or an album develop across six possible tracks.
Sound palette suggests musical directions by feel. Try a main genre and borrow a texture from another, then keep a concrete rhythm, vocal and arrangement brief. For example, put a quiet story over a restless groove, or carry a recorded kitchen sound across an album. These are local writing exercises and arrangement ideas, not generated music or an originality guarantee.
Keep hooks, alternatives and ideas in the notebook. Save to keep the draft; Copy lyrics or Download TXT creates a lyric sheet with section tags. Notebook and workshop details stay out of releases and review copies. Publish a fixed lyric sheet when you want someone else to read it.
Open SongwriterWarm up
Find the note
Open a Recording project and choose Vocal practice. Beginner lessons cover comfortable breathing, gentle humming, matching a note and shaping a phrase. The next level adds small melodic steps, steady notes, expression and ear training. Illustrated guides show the exercise, with short steps you can follow at your own pace.
Play a reference note in a comfortable register, wait until it ends, then match it softly. Optional microphone analysis shows the estimated note, pitch difference in cents, recent pitch history and input level in dBFS. It runs locally in your browser and does not save a recording. One hundred cents is one semitone; dBFS describes the digital input level, not sound pressure or vocal health.
Use headphones, work in a quiet room and sing one note at a time. A measurement can be confused by background music or breathy sound. Move the target to a comfortable note and stop if singing hurts or makes you dizzy. Ear training asks whether the second note is higher, lower or the same, with a score for this session.
Recording also has Rap practice: beginner and developing exercises for pulse, articulation, breath marks, shifted accents and story, with a metronome and straight or triplet subdivisions. Guitar tuner supports Standard, Drop D, Half step down and Open G, with a reference tone, string selection and a cents meter. Both tools run locally and stop their practice audio when you leave the page or hide the browser tab.
Open RecordingDraw a phrase
Build on it
Open MIDI and create a project. Draw notes in the piano roll or use Add note and Add triad. Move notes, drag their right edge to change length, or edit pitch, timing, length and velocity in the inspector. Choose tempo, a built-in instrument and a scale guide. Start with a few notes and leave some space.
Quantize brings notes onto the chosen grid. Humanize adds small timing and velocity variations; transpose moves their pitch. Select one note or choose All notes, and use Undo to compare experiments. The piano keys let you listen before adding a note.
Export MIDI to keep editable notes for another music app. Render WAV to library captures the selected sound. Once processing finishes, Use in Composer prepares a new project with the audio on its first track; open it in a new tab to keep your MIDI draft. Re-render after changing notes or instrument. The WAV includes a short release tail.
Projects support 64 bars in 4/4 and 512 notes. Import accepts standard MIDI formats 0 and 1 up to 4 MB; tracks are merged and only notes and velocity are retained. Pedal, automation, hardware MIDI and external plug-ins are outside this version.
Open MIDISave a draft
Export a file
Save keeps the editable project in your studio. Watch for Saved before leaving. Foley and VoxBox also attempt automatic saves; other tools need an explicit save. Command/Ctrl+S saves when the workspace command is available.
Export audio creates finished sound. In Editor, Open audio, select a range and choose Trim to selection to keep it or Cut selection to remove it. Export the edited copy, then save the project. To combine several sounds, use Composer: put voice and music on separate lanes, balance their volume, and export the mix.
Choose 44.1 kHz / 16-bit for a smaller WAV or 48 kHz / 24-bit for higher sample precision. Audio library uploads allow 110 MiB per file. Some mix exports can be downloaded locally up to 180 MiB, subject to browser memory; the single-file editor prepares copies within the library limit.
Publish makes a fixed edition, and Request feedback makes a private review copy. Neither updates when you edit the draft. Songwriter shares a readable lyric sheet; DJ, Live, Theater and Soundscapes share playable setups rather than a recording of a performance.
Get back
to the idea
A file is still processing: it has reached the library but is not ready. Check its state before uploading it again. If it failed, read the error and use Retry when appropriate.
No microphone or sound: check browser and operating-system input permissions, the selected device, tab volume and mute states. Press Play yourself to allow browser audio. Use headphones and make a short test recording first.
A recording will not save: download the available local take before closing the page. A recovery file has not yet been saved to your studio library.
The project changed elsewhere: preserve any text or settings you need, then reload the latest version and reapply your changes. Reloading discards unsaved local work.
An export is too large: shorten the source or select 44.1 kHz / 16-bit. Keep the local download if one is offered. A valid upload may still be too expensive for your browser to decode and mix.
When signed in, choose the bug button or search Report a problem in Commands. Include the tool, steps, exact error and approximate time. Your report is saved privately in the database for the platform administrator to review later, with a receipt number. Keep passwords, provider keys, agent tokens and private review links out of the report.
Talk in your studio
Work side by side
Open Studio chat from the workspace’s bottom toolbar to show its conversation over your current page and share ideas with the current studio’s members. Everyone in the room, including listeners, can send messages, reply and edit their own words. The studio owner can remove messages. People outside the studio cannot join its conversation.
In Your studios, choose Open in new tab to keep several studios or tools open at once. Each tab keeps its studio. Multiple members sign in from their own browsers; project revision checks prevent one person from silently overwriting another’s save.
The System resources gauge beside Commands shows the tabs that respond and their tracked audio memory. Stop a timeline to release its audio; paused buffers expire after 30 seconds. Browser estimates do not measure your computer’s total RAM.
Connect an agent
Keep the controls
MCP lets a compatible assistant discover DAW.Town’s tools and use them on your behalf. You bring the assistant; DAW.Town provides access to the studio you select.
Open account settings- Create a connection
In Account → Connections → Agents & MCP, choose a studio and name the connection. It starts with read access; enable draft editing or playback control when you need them. Calendar and private contacts & feedback have separate read or edit permissions.
- Connect your assistant
Copy the MCP endpoint and the token shown once into a client that supports remote MCP with Bearer authentication. Keep the token private. Connections expire after 30 days and can be revoked from Account.
- Give it a practical task
Try “Find my ambience recordings and show which projects use them” or, with editing enabled, “Create a private soundboard draft from these library sounds”. With the matching permissions, it can also plan calendar events, maintain contact lists and help you work through private feedback. Playback needs an open console with agent control enabled.
Performance cues can also call your configured webhook or agent endpoint, so an external workflow can react when a pad or cue starts. Sending messages and invitations, publishing, paid AI generation, browser recording and video rendering stay under your control in the app. Agent connections do not grant permanent deletion, membership, billing or provider-key access.
