Aurora DAW

The Aurora DAW combines AI song creation with a Digital Audio Workstation environment - A 1st of its kind.

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

Hex Station, from Aurora DAW: melodic rap, C minor, 138 BPM.

Hook: four pluck notes, Eb4 to C5. At the break the drums drop out, the hook sits on a pad, then a riser pulls it back in.

This song only, not a promise about every generation.

Break: keep the 808 or cut it?

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

@AArkytekt Fair question. It's for people who want to go from a musical direction to an editable session, then change it themselves: arrangement, a piano roll where every part is note-editable, mixer, booths. It replaces the blank session, not the DAW you already know.

Keep the counter line out of the lead's rhythm. If the lead lands on the beat, let the second melody answer on the offbeats, so the two never talk over each other.

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

A hook with two melodies gets remembered for the second one. A counter line in the gaps, an octave from the lead, can carry the chorus.

Every part in Aurora DAW is note-editable, so that line is yours to write.

Bare hook or counter melody?

@janjakruss0 Hope it clicks for you. It runs on Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, so check that first. Plans and what's included: https://t.co/EQaC5x94mL

@cataofficial85 Agreed. One tell I trust: if you've moved the same few notes three times and it still feels stiff, stop editing. That's the groove talking, and a re-print gets there faster.

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

A section that's almost right is the hardest kind to fix. In Aurora DAW you can re-print that one section and leave the rest alone, or open it in the piano roll and move the notes yourself.

Section that's almost there: re-print it or fix it by hand?

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

@unfinishx Mostly by ear: solo the kick against the 808 on the root and listen for a wobble. A tuner helps on the first pass with a new sample, then the ear makes the call.

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

Tune the kick, not just the 808. A kick body on the 808's root or fifth sits with it. A half step off and the low end feels wrong in a way EQ won't fix.

Aurora DAW exports stems, so the tuning call stays in your own DAW.

Do you tune your kicks to the key?

A test before you re-print: mute the section and play the bars on either side. If it feels wrong in one spot, fix that spot by hand. If the whole section feels wrong, re-print it.

@Sway_Still___ The download is under 10GB runs on your local device, only CPU heavy part is generating a song, which takes 5 minutes each.

@gtrixofficial I know it’s going to benefit many, it is a great tool but am making large strides daily in development. In just 2 weeks I expect the Aurora DAW to have 10x its current capabilities, that is in the plan!!

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

One habit that gets past bar 1 quickly: loop four bars of chords and hum over them before any drums go in. The drums come easier once the hook exists.

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

A lot of beats don't die in the mix. They die in an empty session, before bar 1 has anything on it.

What Aurora DAW replaces is the blank session, not the DAW you already know.

What gets you past bar 1: drums, chords or a sample?

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

Once bar 1 is filled, the session exports to your own DAW. Which DAWs and formats: https://t.co/kP5NOnFrHq

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

Fast check for kick tuning: solo the kick and 808 together on the root note. If you hear a slow wobble between them, the kick is a little off the key.

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

@crossblousons Lyrics first is a real advantage. Try building the beat around one line: pick the tempo you would rap it at, loop four chords under it, and only add drums once the hook sits. The words tell you what the beat needs.

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

@ItsEvanTube2 Congrats on finishing the first one, that is the hardest part. Easy mix win: pull everything down so the loudest part peaks around -6 dB, then check it on a phone speaker. Whatever disappears there needs a bit more level or a brighter sound.

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

@Lunch77Beatz This is why I bounce the 808 two ways, the distorted one and a clean sub on the same notes. If the artist wants the softer lane, they swap stems and the arrangement stays exactly the same.

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

If the lead has to sit in the vocal's octave, give it fewer notes. Long tones between the lines leave the words room and still carry the hook.

[Aurora DAW @AuroraDAW]

A hook lead in the vocal's octave fights it for space. An octave up, it rings over the words. An octave down, it thickens without masking.

In Aurora DAW every part is note-editable, so the lead can move.

Lead above the vocal or below it?
