every idea, one place
solo holds your voice notes, demos and tracks: record with a count-in or drop in a wav or mp3, mix it, keep every version. it's where things start, and where they come back to.
a space for musicians
your ideas, and the people who make them better.
keep every idea in one place. share one, ask what people think, bring someone in for the part it needs, or make a whole track together, in whatever DAW you already use.
how it works
your music, your people, one place
open it up
post a seed for others to add to, ask what people think of a work in progress, bring someone in for the part a track needs, or find people who make what you make in meet.
make it together
start a game with someone new or an open project with friends. everyone adds stems, talks it through, and releases it to activity with every name on it.
bring your own DAW
dolab doesn't replace your DAW. it connects them.
one of you in Ableton, one in Logic, one in FL Studio, one on a phone. the project lives on dolab; the work happens wherever you make music.
- 01download the stems. one zip, with a readme that gives the bpm and key.
- 02make your part. your DAW, your plugins, your sounds.
- 03drop it back in. a wav or mp3. bpm and key are detected; dolab spots whether it's a new stem or a new version.
- 04line it up and listen. auto-align, pitch and tempo, and everyone's parts together in the sketch DAW.
or skip the files with the dolab pluginfree
on a track in Logic, Ableton, FL Studio, Reaper or GarageBand on a Mac: play the project into your DAW, record over it, send the take in one click. AU and VST3.
ways to use dolab
alone, with friends, or with someone you haven't met yet
your space
solo
every idea and track you're working on, somewhere only you can see. record, upload, mix and keep every version. send a track out when you want other ears on it, and it comes back here when you're done.
sharing ideas
seeds
post an idea with its stems and a short note. anyone can answer with a part of their own; you hear it before you choose who to keep.
finding people
meet
find collaborators by skill, genre or name. profiles show what they play, who inspires them and their music. ask to make something together, with a note.
sharing ideas
ask for help
not sure about a section? ask what people think, pointing at the moment you mean. stuck on a part? bring someone in for it, work on it together for a while, then take the track back to solo with them credited.
making together
open projects
free play with no turns. anyone adds a stem or a new version whenever they like, and you call it done when it is.
making together
games
start one and get paired with whoever's waiting. three turns each, see where it goes, and keep what you made either way.
games
your turn. their turn. a track neither of you planned.
a game is a quick, low-stakes way to make something new. three turns each, one stem at a time, no timer unless you add one together. see what the track turns into.
- shake loose new ideassomeone else's turn takes your part somewhere you'd never go.
- meet people by makinga game pairs you with whoever's waiting. like it? keep going together.
- no pressure to be perfecta few stems each and no clock unless you both add one. done is better than precious.
- you always leave with somethinglove where it went? finish it and release it. if not, you've still got new parts to keep.
how someone uses it
a week with one idea
nadia writes songs in Logic. kofi makes beats in FL Studio. they'd never met.
- monnadia hums a melody into a voice note on the bus“start a project with this” makes it the first stem of a solo track.
- tuenadia adds chords and a guide vocal from Logictwo wavs in, balanced in the sketch DAW, then a seed asking for help: “needs drums, something dusty”.
- wedkofi hears it and answers with a beat from FL Studiokofi downloads the stems, builds drums, uploads them. nadia listens and keeps it.
- thuthey find a bassist in meetines records a phone demo, then a proper take a version later. every version is kept.
- fria note at 1:12, a last vocal, and it’s outreleased to activity with all three names on it, and shared as a video for stories and reels.

every version kept
audition an older version of any stem, or step back through how the track grew.
record in the app
count-in, record over the project, review, retake or keep.
bpm and key, found for you
every upload is analysed. correct it if it’s wrong.
notes on the second
comment at 1:12 and everyone jumps straight there.
conversations around the music
one-to-one and group conversations with voice notes, reactions and @mentions.
stems out, mixes out
download every stem as a zip, send them as a link anyone can open, or export the mix as a wav.
