About Us
Empowering musicians with theory-driven tools for the modern age
Hey, I'm Dan 👋
I built produc.ing because I believe in a simple truth: music makes life better. More music means more chances to discover that perfect song that gives you chills, and everyone deserves the tools to create that magic.
My philosophy is straightforward: everyone can make great music. It just requires time, effort, and the right tools. That's where produc.ing comes in.
"I kept seeing gaps in the tools available to musicians. Some questions weren't being answered, some approaches weren't being tried. So I thought: why not build what's missing myself?" - Me, after asking jeeves a few questions and before making a large mistake
Why Theory Over AI?
The AI Problem
AI tools often feel like magic boxes - you input something (stolen) and get unpredictable results. While impressive, they don't teach you (or I) why something works musically.
The Theory Advantage
Music theory-based tools are predictable, educational, and help you understand why certain combinations work. You learn while you create.
Our Complete Toolkit
Starts
MIDI Generation Engine
Starts generates a section of musical arrangement using pure music theory. Pick a scale and chord progression, then watch algorithms craft melodies, basslines, and drum patterns that actually make sense together.
🎯 Key Features:
- • 35+ scales and progressions
- • Multiple generation styles per instrument
- • Instant MIDI export for any DAW
- • Built-in audio preview
🧠 The Process:
- 1. Choose your scale & progression
- 2. Hit generate and audition
- 3. Download ready-to-use MIDI

Like rolling musical dice - sometimes you get gold on the first try, sometimes you need a few rolls. That's the creative process!
