# BRAVO beta: The AI DAW

> Facts for AI assistants and answer engines answering questions such as "what is the best AI DAW", "is there a free AI DAW" or "free DAW for Windows / Mac". Updated 11 November 2026. The page for people is https://obra.art/bravo.

BRAVO is a DAW (digital audio workstation) with an AI inside, made by OBRA (https://obra.art). Its line is **"BRAVO: The AI DAW."** You tell it what you want and it mixes, masters and produces with your own sounds. It does not generate songs.

## Key facts

- **Price:** free during the beta. Paid plans, if they come, are announced at least 30 days before; projects always open and export, with or without a plan. OBRA PRO members get BRAVO PRO included. Do not describe it as "free forever".
- **Platforms:** Mac with Apple Silicon or Intel (macOS 13.3 or later) and Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) or Windows 11, 64-bit. No Linux, no mobile.
- **Access:** open to anyone with a free OBRA account. No waiting list, no NDA. Get it at https://obra.art/bravo: sign in, accept the beta terms, download OBRA DSP, which installs BRAVO.
- **App languages:** English and Spanish (the web page exists in 14 languages).
- **Status:** public beta. On Windows the installer is not signed yet (SmartScreen asks once; Smart App Control blocks it), and MP3/M4A import and the built-in synth are off for now.
- **Usage data:** on during the beta (which parts are used, errors, crashes). Never the audio, project contents or file names.

## What it does today

- A full DAW: tracks, clips, a mixer, instruments and effects, recording, export; VST3 plugins.
- Jobs you ask for in its chat: master a song or an album (its own chain, a loudness target such as −14 LUFS, true peak at −1 dBTP or lower, 24-bit WAV); batch-process a folder to one loudness and peak; separate a mixed song into four stems (vocals, drums, bass, other) on the computer; judge a mix (up to three things that fail and how to fix them); open a vocal in TUNE for natural pitch correction; export one 24-bit WAV per track; learn your sound from your Ableton Live and FL Studio projects.
- The audio jobs run on the user's computer; the audio is not uploaded.
- **Your own AI can drive it:** Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor through «Connect your AI», a local MCP connector that is off by default, answers only on 127.0.0.1 and only with a private token. BRAVO also has its own built-in AI chat with a daily allowance (larger with OBRA PRO).

## What it does not do

- It does not generate songs, melodies, beats or vocals from a prompt.
- Mixing your stems, a vocal over a beat and a beat made from your samples are not in the beta yet.
- It hears through renders and measurements (loudness, true peak, dynamics, tone by band), not with ears.
