Built for producers who want clarity, control, and momentum
produc.ing exists to help people make more music with tools that are clear, practical, and built on music theory instead of black-box generation.
Help producers write faster with theory-driven tools.
Create tools which I use in my own music.
Tools which work quickly, and produce useful material.
I built produc.ing because I kept running into the same problem: there were plenty of music tools, but not enough that felt useful, understandable, and actually aligned with how producers work.
The goal is simple. Make it easier to get from a rough idea to something you can hear, edit, export, and develop properly in your DAW. That means tools for rhythm, arrangement, harmony, learning, and sound design that give you structure without getting in your way.
Create things which allow more music to be made, whether by being a part of the process, or building understanding of music itself.
The focus stays on practical workflow value rather than novelty. If it cannot earn its place in a real session, it should not be on the page.
Tools you can understand and steer
The core music tools are designed to be explainable. The output should give you musical material you can refine, not mysteries you have to work around.
Black-box tools are hard to trust
If you cannot see why something works, it is harder to refine it, reuse it, or learn from it. That can be fine for novelty, but it is not ideal when you want dependable musical building blocks.
Theory gives you control
produc.ing is built around scales, intervals, chord functions, rhythm, and voice leading. That makes the tools more predictable, more teachable, and easier to fit into your own creative decisions.
The current produc.ing toolkit
Each tool is meant to cover a real part of the workflow: rhythm, harmony, arrangement, learning, and sound design.
Starts
MIDI designer
Starts is the main arrangement tool. Pick a key and scale, choose a progression, generate chords, melody, bass, and drums, then export MIDI straight to your DAW.
- Good for breaking beat block fast
- Gives you control over key, scale, progression, and parts
- Exports standard MIDI for major DAWs
Learn
Free music theory lessons
The Learn section covers notes, scales, chords, rhythm, melody, harmony, sound design, and MIDI basics with interactive examples you can use in the browser.
- Free and open without sign-up
- Designed to support practical music-making, not just theory trivia
- Lot's of cooking metaphors, as that helped me learn a lot.
A workflow instead of disconnected tools
Start with theory
Pick a scale, decide the mood, or learn the concept first.
Build the harmony
Use the Harmonic Map when chord movement is leading the idea, then move into Starts to develop the arrangement.
Generate the arrangement
Move into Starts for chords, melody, bass, drums, and MIDI export.
Practical enough to use, clear enough to learn from
The platform is meant to stay grounded: browser-first where it helps, teachable where it matters, and focused on getting ideas into a form you can actually finish.
Useful
Tools should solve real writing, arrangement, and mix problems instead of adding noise.
Teachable
The same platform should help you make music and understand why the music works.
Accessible
Browser-first where possible, straightforward exports, and fewer barriers between the idea and the result.
