DAW. Plug-ins. And now, AI.

Build your full track.
From 0 to release-ready.

How it works

One session, from nothing to finished.

  1. 0

    Start with an idea

    Type what you hear. Paste your lyrics. Bring a song you want to rebuild. There is no blank page and no template to fight with.

    Create with AI page, with the ALPHA globe and a prompt box
  2. 1

    Hear it as a song

    ALPHA AI makes full versions for you to compare. Listen blind, choose with your ears, and keep the one that wins.

    Open it as tracks

    One click turns a finished song into a real session with separate parts. Now you can change the bass without touching the vocal.

ALPHA AI

Four ways to make a song.
All of them end in your studio.

The Words mode of Create with AI

Describe it

Say the style, the mood and the tempo. ALPHA writes it and plays it back as a full song.

More about ALPHA AI

Built-in splitter

Any song becomes tracks.
On your computer. Even offline.

Not only AI songs. Drop in any audio file you have the right to use, and ALPHA pulls it into six parts, ready to edit. No upload and no waiting in a queue.

Kick · Drums · Bass · Lead · Chords · Air

How the song splitter works

The DAW

A real studio underneath.
Not a toy with a good demo.

ALPHA is native software built for serious sessions. If you already know Pro Tools, you already know how to work here.

Comp the perfect take

MIDI editor with notes and velocity

Write with MIDI

A MIDI editor with velocity and quantize, a built-in synth and drum kit, and your own instruments.

Automation lanes below audio tracks

Automate everything

Volume, pan, mute, sends and plug-in parameters, with Read, Write, Touch and Latch.

Your hands already know it.

Familiar tools, edit modes and shortcuts mean you can start working on day one.

ALPHA Plugins

Great sound, already on the channel.
Your favourite plug-ins, safely alongside.

All about plug-ins in ALPHA

ALPHA Mix

A channel plug-in with profiles for your source and genre, built into every session.

ALPHA EQ

Five bands on every track, right in the Mix window.

ALPHA Comp

Threshold, ratio, attack and release, always one click away.

VST3 and Audio Units

Use the effects and instruments you already own. ALPHA runs them apart from your session, to protect your work if one fails.

Design

Clean, simple, and yours.

Dark glass by default. Focus Mode when you need it. Ten skins to change the room you work in.

Built in

Everything between the idea and the release.
In one session.

The Compose page showing a full arrangement of drums, bass, chords, pad, arp and lead

Compose

A complete MIDI arrangement in eight styles, written on your computer. Lock the sections you love, and ask for a new bassline without touching anything else.

A hummed melody turned into the hook of a full arrangement

Hum to Session

Hum a melody. ALPHA finds the notes, key and tempo, writes chords that fit it, and builds the song around your idea.

The Versions page with a Main line, a branch and a merge

Never Lost

Every save is kept. Branch to try an idea, compare any version with what you have now, and merge the best of both. If both sides changed a clip, you keep both.

The Release page with Hear It Everywhere device choices

Hear It Everywhere

Hear your mix as a phone, laptop, car, club and more would play it, while it plays. Then get a report on what will change. Your bounce stays untouched.

The Before and After bar over the Edit window

Before and After

Hear any AI change against the original, at matched levels, even while playing. Keep it or undo it with one click.

The Credits and Splits page with names, shares and codes

Rights from the first second

Credits, writing and master splits, checked ISRC and ISWC codes, and a split sheet to sign, all kept with the session. Change a share and everyone signs again.

Also new: clips that follow your tempo and key, regenerating only the part you select, and five workspaces for writing, recording, editing, mixing and release.

Why ALPHA

Built to be the world's best DAW.
Here is how we are getting there.

The usual way

  • An AI site for the idea
  • Another service to split the song
  • A DAW that knows nothing about either
  • Plug-ins from five different places
  • A separate tool to check the master

The ALPHA way

  • Create inside your studio
  • Split any song, right here
  • Keep editing in the same session
  • Plug-ins and mixing built in
  • Release Check before you bounce

In development

We are only getting started.

These are on our build list and not finished yet. Early access members will hear first.

Questions

Good to know.

What is ALPHA?

ALPHA is a music studio for your computer: a professional digital audio workstation, plug-ins and AI in one app. You can start from a sentence, your lyrics or your own recording, and finish with a mastered mix and stems.

Can ALPHA split a song into tracks?

Yes. ALPHA's splitter runs on your computer, even offline, and works on any audio file you have the right to use. It separates a song into Kick, Drums, Bass, Lead, Chords and Air, and opens them as tracks.

Does ALPHA work with my plug-ins?

Yes. ALPHA hosts VST3 and Audio Unit effects and instruments on a Mac, and runs plug-ins apart from your session to protect your work if one fails.

I use Pro Tools. Will ALPHA feel familiar?

Yes. ALPHA follows the same way of working, including Edit and Mix pages, track headers, edit modes, tools and many keyboard shortcuts. It does not open Pro Tools session files. Bring your audio and MIDI in as files.

Does ALPHA work offline?

The studio, mixing, mastering and the song splitter all run on your computer. Cloud AI models and cloud sync need an internet connection.

What does ALPHA cost?

The plan is a free core studio, with paid plug-ins and AI credits when you want them. Prices will be published before launch.

When can I get ALPHA?

ALPHA is in development for Mac. Join early access and we will email you when you can try it. A Windows version is planned.
