Get Pro · $44 once Includes one month of Sessions Cloud + A&R free. Already included in the yearly plan.Your studio backed up and synced to the cloud as you work, so every bounce is instantly listenable from the Sessions app on your phone. Add friends for easy collaboration, and see what plugins cross over. Access to a massive record label research library with on-demand research capabilities. Local genre detection to recommend labels based on your bounced tracks (genre detection coming soon).
The basic library manager is free forever: unlimited projects across ten DAWs, BPM and key from the file, ratings, tags, planner, and notes. No account, no card. Purchase Pro to unlock all the power features.
Your whole catalog, on your computer.
Free for the library, one payment for the power tools. Local.
Open it once and the setup wizard sweeps your drives: every project across ten DAWs, plus your samples, racks, presets and plugins. No tagging, no importing, and nothing moves unless you say so.
BPM, key, length, session versions, plugins, samples and Collect All and Save status, read straight out of the project file and shown on the row.
A waveform and a play button on every project, with live loudness and stereo meters, so you can hear a track without opening the DAW.
Plugin Passport lists what a session needs and what this computer is missing. Swap passports with a collaborator and see whose plugins cross over before a file moves.
Detangle sessions saved on top of each other, find duplicate samples, and file new material where it belongs. Every move is undoable.
Unlimited collections for every alias or client, and releases that group songs into EPs and albums the app knows about.
Listen to your projects on the go.
Backup, collaboration and label research. A subscription, optional, needs Pro.
Your whole studio backed up and reachable from anywhere. Set it up once and it stays synced as you work, unless you turn it off.
Bounces from your computer, ready to preview on your phone the moment they land. Use the app to sign in on other computers and reach your projects, with automatic sign-out if you want it. Timestamped notes you make on the phone show up back on the computer.
Research genres and labels, with their submission paths, history and related scenes, on demand: a single label or a whole genre. A book of 1,200+ labels across 250+ sub-genres is already included.
A compact AI model from a university music research group, trained on Discogs data, runs on your machine: it hears the genre of a bounce and recommends labels from the research. Completely local, so your music never feeds an online AI. Coming soon.
Add friends to a project and see what plugins cross over. Work from the same project in the cloud, sending your version up and pulling theirs down.
Send a private listening link to friends and colleagues. Their timestamped notes land back in the app on your computer.
