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 move from blank project to usable musical material faster.
Scales, intervals, progressions, rhythm, and voice leading instead of vague prompts.
More ideas, more control, and MIDI or plugins that fit directly into a real workflow.
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 arrangement, harmony, learning, and sound design that give you structure without getting in your way.
"If a tool helps you make more music, understand more music, or finish more music, it belongs here. If it just looks clever, it probably doesn't."
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: 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
Progressions
Chord progression tool
Progressions is for the moments where harmony comes first. Test chord movement, compare options, and build a stronger foundation before arranging around it.
- Useful when the chord movement is the main idea
- Pairs naturally with Starts for full arrangement generation
- Helps reduce guesswork in early writing
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
- Fits the same educational direction as the tools themselves
Plugins
Downloadable production tools
The plugin side of produc.ing currently includes VIVISECT for waveshaping and Speaker Emulation for headphone-based mix checking, with more in development.
- VIVISECT for harmonic distortion and saturation
- Speaker Emulation for crossfeed and translation checks
- Built for practical studio use, not filler features
A workflow instead of disconnected tools
Start with theory
Pick a scale, decide the mood, or learn the concept first.
Build the harmony
Use Progressions if the chord movement is leading the idea.
Generate the arrangement
Move into Starts for chords, melody, bass, drums, and MIDI export.
Finish the sound
Take the idea into your DAW and use plugins where they actually help.
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.
