OBRA DAW
We are buildinga DAW.
A studio with a producer inside: it hears what you just made, knows why it is wrong, and fixes it.
FreeIn betaMac today, Windows later
What it is
It does not generate music. It produces it.
You ask for it in music. It moves the project: tracks, clips, chords, mix. All editable, and one undo takes it back.
Inside
Screenshots of the program, untouched.
Your whole project.
Arrangement, mixer, meters and your sounds on one screen. Anything it touches, you can touch.
Harmony is an object, not a guess.
Grab the progression with your hand: style, bars and key. Drag it, swap it, turn it into MIDI.
Every sound is measured before it is used.
Tempo, key and character of every sample, before it lands. What the card does not know gets measured.
The models
You pick the model. And you see what it costs.
“Give me an eight bar bossa nova in F”
Same brief, done by all three. Listen before you spend anything.
Fast
A few creditsThe everyday one. It takes a long sentence and builds the whole section.

Built in the open, built with producers.
Everything that lands is published the same day. What you tell us is what decides the next thing.
Questions
The ones everybody asks.
01What does it cost?
Nothing. The DAW is free while it is in beta, and so is the OBRA account. You only pay if you pick a cloud model, and you pay in credits.
02Why do I need an account?
To send you the update when it lands, and to know who to write to when something breaks. No card.
03What about Windows?
It is next. Mac only today, and we would rather say it than waste your afternoon.
04Are my songs mine?
Yours. The project lives on your disk and nothing is uploaded unless you send it.
05Does it generate audio with AI?
No. No voices, no instruments invented by a network. It plays with our own instruments and effects, and with your samples.
06Is it finished?
No. It is in beta and it breaks. That is why it is free, and why we want you to tell us where.
Tell us what is missing.
Download it, break it and write to us. That is the only thing we need right now.
