What you ask
In BRAVO's chat, or from your own AI once it is connected:
- Is my song too quiet for Spotify?
- Judge this mix and tell me what to fix first.
- Separate the vocals so I can practice over the beat.
- Master this song and tell me the loudness before and after.
What you get back
- Answers in plain words, with the numbers behind them.
- Files you can use: a 24-bit WAV master, four stems from a song, one WAV per track.
- Every change as one undo step, so trying something is safe.
How to do it
- Join the list and install BRAVO. BRAVO is a free beta for Mac with Apple Silicon, opening by waves. Join the list on obra.art/bravo; when your wave opens you get one email with the download.
- Start with a song you already have. Export your song from wherever you made it, or use a recording, and drop it into the chat on BRAVO's Home screen.
- Ask a question first. Ask «what fails in this mix?». BRAVO's judge names up to three things that fail and how to fix each one.
- Then ask for one job. A master for streaming, the stems of the song or one WAV per track. BRAVO runs it on your Mac and tells you what it did.
- Learn the words as you go. BRAVO reports in the same words producers use, LUFS, true peak, stems, so each job teaches you a little.
Five words you will hear
| Word | What it means |
|---|---|
| DAW | Digital audio workstation: the app where you record, arrange and mix music. BRAVO is one, for Mac. |
| Track and clip | A track is one lane of sound, a clip is a piece of audio or MIDI on it. |
| Stem | One part of a song on its own: the vocals, the drums, the bass or the rest. |
| LUFS | How loud a song sounds over its whole length. Streaming services play songs at a similar loudness; −14 LUFS is a common reference. |
| True peak | The highest point of the waveform, measured between samples. Keeping it at −1 dBTP or lower avoids distortion when the song is converted. |
What to try in your first session
- Ask what fails in a mix you made, and fix one thing.
- Separate the stems of a song you like and listen to the vocal on its own.
- Master the same song and compare the loudness before and after.
- Let BRAVO learn from your Ableton Live or FL Studio projects, if you have some.
Limits
- BRAVO does not generate songs: you bring the audio, a recording, a beat you made or samples you own.
- Mixing your stems, a vocal over a beat and a beat from your samples are not in the beta yet.
- The app is in English and Spanish.
- Beta: Mac with Apple Silicon only. Windows comes later.
- Access opens by waves from the waiting list.
- BRAVO works on the audio you bring. It does not generate songs.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know music production to use BRAVO?
No. You can ask in plain words, and BRAVO says what it did and what it measured. You learn the terms as you go.
What do I need to start?
A Mac with Apple Silicon, headphones or speakers, and a song or a recording of your own.
Will it do everything for me?
It does the technical jobs, such as mastering, stems and mix feedback. The music, the choices and the final listen stay yours.
Is it free?
Yes, the beta is free. BRAVO's built-in AI has a daily allowance, larger with OBRA PRO.
BRAVO is a free beta for Mac with Apple Silicon. Access opens by waves from the list.
