A serious DAW for serious work — track stacks, automation, buses, real-time spectrum, take comping. Plus three things you won't find elsewhere: a live signal-flow view, an AI co-writer, and multiplayer sessions.
The full DAW — system MIDI, low-latency audio, native performance. Same project files as the browser version. Runs offline.
First launch: right-click → Open to bypass Gatekeeper
Tone.js for sub-100 ms audio. Yjs CRDT so two people writing in the same piano roll merge without conflict. React 19 to keep the UI smooth past sixty tracks. Open it in a browser today — install it natively when the desktop build ships.
Drag clips on a timeline that snaps to bars and grids. Edit MIDI on a piano roll or a drum step grid. Stack automation lanes per parameter. The studio is built around the same modal grammar you already know — Cmd-S to save, Opt-drag to clone, F2 to rename, ⌘+E to split at playhead.
Watch your session route in real time — tracks into inserts, inserts into buses, buses into the master, with live meters at every stage. No more guessing why the kick is showing up on the vocal bus. The visualization updates with every send change, automation move, and freeze toggle.
Magic Chord lays down a diatonic progression in your chosen key — 13 progressions, optional 7ths, three voicings, four rhythm modes. Magic Drum loads 17 genre patterns with adjustable swing. Magic Melody writes a top line over your existing chord clip, in style.
Track channel strips with inserts, sends, automation, freeze, phase invert, and pre/post-fader trim. Buses with VCA-style grouping. A master strip with real-time FFT spectrum, L/R phase correlation, level + loudness metering, and an A/B bypass for the entire master chain.
Built on Y.Doc CRDT. Two people writing notes on the same piano roll merge automatically. Three people adjusting different faders all land. WebRTC streams live microphone audio between collaborators — record together as if you were in the same room.
The browser studio stays free during beta. Paid tiers unlock once team sessions and the desktop install land.
Unison Studio is being built like a real DAW — same product depth as Logic, Ableton, or Pro Tools — and shipped first to the browser so people can use it today. The desktop install follows.
First track in under a minute. Sign in, pick an instrument, hit record. No plugin scan, no installer, no project-format headaches — just the studio.
Accounts are provisioned by an admin during beta. Reach out for an invite.
