๐ Session Starter
One tap: picks a recipe, sets the metronome to that genre's tempo, opens a fresh checklist note, and starts the session timer.
๐ต THEORY & EAR
โ CIRCLE OF FIFTHS
๐ผ SCALE & MODE HELPER
๐ KEY DETECTOR (FROM CHORDS)
Type the chords of a song โ get the most likely key(s).
๐ข NASHVILLE NUMBER CHART
Portable chord chart โ numbers instead of letters, so it works in any key.
๐ง HARMONIC MIXING (CAMELOT)
Which keys mix smoothly with what you've got. Pick a key:
๐ INTERVAL EAR TRAINER
Hear two notes, name the interval. Build your ear.
๐ PROGRESSION PLAYER
Type chords, hear them loop with a bass. Test a progression fast.
๐ต NOTE โ FREQUENCY
๐น CHORD PROGRESSION BOOK
๐ธ CHORD DIAGRAM LIBRARY
๐ Tap any chord to hear it strummed.
๐ธ FRETBOARD SCALE EXPLORER
๐ด root ยท ๐ก scale tone. Tap a dot to hear the note.
๐ง TRANSPOSE & CAPO
Type chords (e.g. C G Am F). Slide to transpose; the capo helper finds an easier shape in the same sounding key.
๐งฎ CALCULATORS
STRAIGHT DELAY
DOTTED DELAY
TRIPLET DELAY
LFO FREQUENCY
๐ฏ LOUDNESS TARGETS (LUFS) โ WHERE TO LAND YOUR MASTER
Streaming normalizes to a target โ mastering hotter than the target just gets turned down (and often sounds worse). True-peak ceiling of โ1 dBTP keeps lossy codecs from clipping.
๐ FREQUENCY COLLISION MAP โ WHO OWNS WHAT
Two instruments fighting for the same band = mud. Carve one, boost the other. Bars show each source's core range across 20 Hz โ 20 kHz.

๐ฅ PLAYERS & PRACTICE
METRONOME
PRACTICE ROUTINE (RAMP TEMPO)
Runs the metronome above, auto-increasing tempo on a timer. Good for scales, picking exercises, anything you want to build speed on.
TUNER
Low strings (bass low B/E) can be genuinely hard to pick up on a phone or tablet's built-in mic โ the low-frequency roll-off on small mics makes the fundamental weak. It'll work, but for reliable low-B tracking, an audio interface input beats a phone mic every time.
๐ฅ BEAT SKETCH โ 16-STEP SEQUENCER
Synthesized drums, all in-browser. Click a cell once for a hit, again for an accent. Presets get you started.
๐น MELODY SKETCHPAD
Click keys or use your keyboard (A S D F G H J K = white, W E T Y U = black). Scale notes glow. Record a lick and play it back.
โฑ๏ธ PRACTICE TIMER & LOG
๐๏ธ MONITORING & ROOM
๐ TEST-TONE & NOISE LAB
Room / monitor checks, tuning drones, ear training. Watch your levels.
๐ EAR-FATIGUE / BREAK TIMER
Pomodoro for your ears. Mixing decisions rot after ~45 min at volume. Chimes when it's time to rest.
๐ SPECTRUM ANALYZER (RTA)
Live mic spectrum โ spot room resonances, tune monitors, check a mix in the room.
๐ฌ MIX ANALYZER
๐ฌ MIX ANALYZER
Objective metering, run entirely on-device โ loudness (ITU-R BS.1770-4 K-weighted and gated), true peak, dynamic range, stereo phase, and spectral balance. True peak is a close approximation via 4ร oversampling, good enough to flag inter-sample overs but not a certified meter. This measures what's actually in the file. It doesn't and can't tell you if the mix is good โ no meter does that.
๐ SPECTRAL BALANCE
Average energy per band across the whole file, normalized to the loudest band.
โจ CREATIVE SPARKS
๐ฒ SHUFFLE A CHALLENGE
Random recipe + tempo + key + a creative constraint. Break the blank-page freeze.
๐ VIBE ROULETTE
Oblique-strategy cards for producers. Pull one when you're stuck.
โก IDEA CATCHER
Tap the tempo of an idea, name it, and spawn a track-DB stub before it escapes.
๐๏ธ VOICE-MEMO SCRATCHPAD
Hum / beatbox an idea straight into the vault (IndexedDB, offline). Never texted to your phone again.

๐ธ๏ธ STUDIO GRAPH โ WHAT FEEDS WHAT
Every track wired to the tone and recipe it references. Tap a node to jump to it.
๐ง COLD STORAGE โ WHAT'S GONE STALE
Recipes / tones / tracks you created 90+ days ago and may have forgotten. Time to revisit or retire.
๐๏ธ STUDIO OPS
๐ง GEAR MAINTENANCE LOG
Strings, tubes, batteries โ log it, see how long since.
๐๏ธ SAMPLE / LOOP INDEX
Tag your samples by BPM + key so you can actually find them.
โ RELEASE CHECKLIST
Everything between "final mix" and "it's live." Per-track progress saved.
๐ฅ COLLABORATORS & CREDITS
๐๏ธ REAPER TRACK TEMPLATE
Turn a saved tone into a real .RTrackTemplate โ drop it straight onto a REAPER track.
๐ GIG-BAG BUNDLE
Pick a subset and export a shareable pack (same format as your recipe packs).
๐ ENCRYPTED BACKUP
Passphrase-encrypt (AES-GCM) your whole vault so a backup file is safe to store anywhere.
๐๏ธ SONG BOARD
Where each song actually is right now โ drag the โ ฟ handle to move a card to the next stage. Click a card's title, length, or note to edit it. Nothing to do with Channel Settings.
Uses the title above (or "Untitled"). Paste lyrics with [Section] headers on their own line โ creates the song, builds its arrangement from the detected sections, and loads the tagged lyrics into a linked sheet.
๐ฌ ARRANGEMENT TIMELINE
Block out a song section-by-section โ get each part's length and the total runtime. Drag to reorder.
Choose a song above first. Paste lyrics with [Section] headers on their own line โ rebuilds that song's arrangement from the detected sections and loads the tagged lyrics into its linked sheet.
๐ซ SETLIST BUILDER
๐งฑ SONG STRUCTURE TEMPLATES
LYRICS LAB // CUT-UP ENGINE
Paste lyrics with section headers on their own line, e.g. [Verse 1] โ every line under a header gets that tag. If this sheet is linked to a Song Board song, the detected sections also rebuild its arrangement.
The whole sheet as plain text โ edit it here, or paste a whole song straight in. A [Verse 1] header on its own line tags every line under it, [] goes back to untagged, and a lone - is a rest bar that still holds its place. Blank lines are only spacing. Saves as you type; UNDO restores what was here before you opened the box.
๐ค RHYME & WORD FINDER
Type a word (or double-click one in your lyrics). Switch between near-rhymes and synonyms.
๐ WORD FREQUENCY & HOOK DETECTOR
Your most-repeated words โ spot your hook, or catch a crutch word you're leaning on too hard.
๐ ฐ๏ธ BAR / SYLLABLE COUNTER
Paste bars โ get syllables per line + total. Keep your flow even.
๐ญ BAND / SONG NAME GENERATOR
โจ AI CO-PILOT
Writes a whole song to a real structure, using the chosen genre's own recipe data โ its mood and its vocal style โ not just a genre name. Output lands in a draft box below: edit it, copy it, save it as a take, or drop it into the sheet.
