Music production
Soulstack DAW
Status: Early accessA calm, ADHD-first digital audio workstation that runs entirely in your browser.
Multitrack recording, a full piano roll, real per-track effects, and six built-in instruments, with nothing to install. One clear thing at a time, a single dismissable next step, and no cognitive load beyond the music itself.

Music production
Piano roll
Notes drawn, moved and shaped precisely
Every note is drawn, moved and resized directly on the piano roll, with marquee and shift-click multi-select, a velocity lane, and snap to grid. Scale lock and chord assist keep everything you draw in key; humanise gives a selection a one-shot, undoable nudge to timing and velocity.
- Draw, move, resize and delete notes directly on the canvas
- Scale lock and chord assist compose together, not two separate modes
- A dedicated velocity lane and snap-to-grid, not a hidden setting
- Draw, move, resize, multi-select
- Velocity and snap-to-grid
- Scale lock and chord assist
- One-shot humanise

Beyond the basics
A complete production toolkit
Real-time Autotune shapes a live vocal take, and offline pitch-shift moves a recorded clip up to two octaves without re-recording. Dynamics editing stays non-destructive, comping keeps every alternate take archived and ready to swap in, and punch in/out re-records just the section that needs it.
- Real-time Autotune on mic input, plus offline pitch-shift up to two octaves
- Non-destructive dynamics editing and comping across alternate takes
- Punch in/out re-records only the section you need
