From the original to your cover,
in one app

  • Paste a YouTube link or drop in a file and get vocals, drums, bass, guitar and piano. With a graphics card it takes a few minutes.

  • Play along with the original video while your webcam films you. Loop recording stacks takes so you can keep the best parts, and the video syncs itself to the sound.

  • Polish it in a mixer with built-in effects, VST3, buses and automation, then export at YouTube loudness (-14 LUFS).

  • Cut and arrange your footage and the original video on a timeline. Captions, split screen and color grading in the same app.

  • Metronome, BPM trainer, fretboard trainer and tuner. Every day you practice lands on a calendar.

Your footage becomes
the cover video, in the same app

Video you film while recording lines up with the sound on its own, and follows when you move or trim the clip. One click takes it to the video editor.

Play on your keyboard,
polish in the piano roll

No MIDI gear needed — play and record with your computer keyboard, write with the piano roll and a chord track, and plug in MIDI keyboards and instrument VSTs too.

What you need
is already in there

Measured latency compensation

Low-latency ASIO monitoring, plus a one-cable test that measures the real delay so takes land on the beat.

Loop recording & comping

Keep playing over a loop and every pass becomes a take. Stitch together the best parts, or punch in.

Built-in effects · VST3 · CLAP

EQ, compressor, reverb, delay and amp IR built in — on tracks, clips, buses or the master.

A mixer that works like one

Buses, VCAs, sidechain, automation and a master LUFS meter on one screen.

Real video editing

Keyframes, color wheels, curves and scopes, chroma key, masks, stabilization, auto-tracking and ProRes / 10-bit export.

Export the way you want

WAV, FLAC, MP3, MP4 and WebM. Full mix or per stem, any range.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Separating, recording, mixing, video editing and exporting are all free, with no feature limits or watermarks.

How do I make a backing track (karaoke / minus-one)?

Load a song, split it into stems, mute the vocals and export. Practice tracks without drums or bass are made the same way.

Does it work offline? Is my audio uploaded?

Separation, recording and editing all run on your PC and your audio is never uploaded. You only need the internet to fetch a song from a link.

Which instruments can it separate?

Vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and other — choose a 4-stem or 6-stem model.

Can I write music without a MIDI keyboard?

Yes. Your computer keyboard becomes a piano: record what you play, fix notes in the piano roll and sketch the progression on the chord track. MIDI keyboards and instrument VSTs work too.

Can I film with a webcam or my phone?

Yes — any camera Windows sees works: webcams, capture cards, phone-as-webcam apps and DSLR webcam utilities. It films while you record and syncs the video to your take using the camera audio.

How do I get the right loudness for YouTube?

In Export, set Loudness to "YouTube / Spotify (-14 LUFS)" and the whole song is measured and matched automatically. The master LUFS meter shows where your mix is right now.

My recordings land late, behind the beat.

Use "Measure real latency" in Audio settings: connect an interface output to an input with a cable and measure once. It compensates the delay your device does not report, so takes land on the beat.

I get a security warning when installing.

The Microsoft Store version installs without warnings and updates itself. If you downloaded the installer, click “More info → Run anyway”.

Is there a Mac version?

Not yet — Windows 10 and 11 only.
