This page keeps track of what we are working on. This is a way to let people know what is coming up, what our priorities are, and acts as a todo list for us.
High Priority
Our immediate focus is addressing existing bugs and refining the user experience in Starts. We're dedicated to building a rock-solid foundation that not only works flawlessly today but also supports our ambitious future development plans.
We're thrilled that Starts has exceeded our initial expectations. When we began development, we weren't certain if our algorithms would create truly musical output. Not only has Starts proven capable of generating compelling music, but working on it has sparked numerous ideas for enhancement. Currently, we're strengthening the core engine — work that might not be immediately visible but will enable significant improvements in the future.
Upcoming for Starts
MIDI Integration
We're prioritizing the ability to upload MIDI files and have Starts build upon them. While Starts currently generates excellent music based on your chosen progression and scale, giving users the ability to say "use this as a foundation" will dramatically expand creative possibilities and help integrate Starts into existing workflows.
Algorithm Expansion
We're implementing additional algorithmic approaches to provide more diverse and interesting musical outputs. Before adding new algorithms, we're refining our framework to make algorithm creation more efficient and maintainable. This architectural work will accelerate future development and ensure consistent quality.
Scale Modulation
Musical elements like solos often benefit from scale changes that create tension and interest. We're developing functionality to allow seamless scale modulation within Starts, giving you the ability to experiment with melodic ideas in complementary scales that add sophistication to your compositions.
Mobile Support
While our initial focus was on delivering a functional desktop experience, we recognize that creativity happens everywhere. We're working to make Starts fully responsive for mobile devices, allowing you to capture musical inspiration wherever you are. Your feedback on this feature's priority would be valuable to our planning.
Other Things
Beyond our core development goals, we're incrementally building educational resources during our creative breaks. Produc.ing was founded with the mission of being an invaluable resource hub. We're expanding our knowledge base with clear, practical information about music production techniques, music theory, and creative workflows. Our resource page is growing with carefully curated content designed to demystify music production.
Long-Term
This project has been tremendously rewarding to build, and our vision continues to expand. As we refine our direction and discover what resonates most with our community, we welcome your ideas and feedback to help shape our future.
The following concepts are in early exploratory phases. While they won't materialize immediately, they represent exciting directions we're considering for the future of Produc.ing.
@ page
We love our "produc.ing" domain name and see potential in offering personalized pages at produc.ing/@yourusername. This would provide a creative space for producers to showcase their work and connect with collaborators within our ecosystem.
Sound Design
Sound design is fundamental to modern music production yet often feels inaccessible. We're envisioning tools that demystify sound synthesis and processing, paired with interactive learning resources that help musicians develop their sonic palette with confidence.
Album Planning
Creating a cohesive album requires careful consideration of sonic texture, emotional flow, and thematic development. We're designing a planning tool that will help artists craft albums where individual tracks contribute to a unified, compelling listening experience from start to finish.
