Honest feedback from AI producers, inside your DAW.

Capture a loop, ask a question. Three AI producer personas give you their unfiltered first impressions, then react to each other. Keep the conversation going as long as you need. No account, no API key.

How it works

  1. 1
    Capture

    Click Listen, play a section in your DAW, click Stop. The plugin records whatever is passing through the track. Eight bars is usually plenty for a meaningful response, though you can go up to ten minutes.

  2. 2
    Ask

    Pick one of the suggested prompts or write your own. "What is the one thing I should fix first?" tends to get the sharpest answers.

  3. 3
    Discuss

    Each selected producer gives an independent first impression, then they react to each other in a short roundtable. Keep asking follow-up questions -- they hold the full conversation in context.

Meet the producers

These are fictional characters -- not real people. They are built on real musical knowledge and strong, occasionally conflicting opinions. Three to start with; more are coming.

Archie Luth

Berklee-trained, perfect pitch, deeply opinionated about chords. He thinks harmonic content is where emotion actually lives in music, and he will tell you exactly which voicing is letting the track down.

Danny Danco

Twenty years of pop hits and no discernible methodology. Everything is instinct, everything is magic. If something is not working he will notice it before you finish explaining what you were going for.

Mick Brubin

No theory, all feeling. He cannot always tell you why something is not landing -- only that it is not. Probably the most useful of the three, if the least satisfying.
