Write your songs in sections instead of DAW timelines

I am a songwriter/musician. I tried writing songs on an iPhone, but I found it difficult to navigate the traditional DAW timelines on my phone. So I built Demo Tapes, where songs are written in sections (intro, verse chorus...) instead of timelines

  • I collaborated with session musicians around the world to record hundreds of loops to begin a song (guitars, drums, bass, synth, piano, vocal hooks, organs). There's no AI, these are all recorded by real musicians. Meet my session musicians here: https://demotapes.app/#band

  • In Demo Tapes, you start by writing sections, then you can copy, paste, rearrange them as you like. That's how I create as a songwriter.

  • The loops are "smart", so anytime you drop in a loop, it's key and tempo matched. Loops are also aware of chord progressions. So usually, when you add a loop, the "recommended" loops will match the chord progressions of that section. Not perfect, but works most of the time

  • Easy sharing: When you finish a song, you can create an audio file which can be uploaded to Demo Tapes server, and you get a URL that you can share with anyone. They don't need to download the app.

  • App is free and no sign up required

I am a musician, not a developer, so it took me many years to get here. My entire goal is to make songwriting easy for anyone. So anyone can write a song, even if they have never tried.

I would really appreciate some feedback.

Demo Tapes, Write a Song - Write real songs on your iPhone with pro studio musicians

Demo Tapes is a mobile songwriting studio powered by loops recorded by pro session musicians and vocalists (no AI). Songs are written in sections (intro, verse, chorus..), unlike a DAW that drops you into a timeline. All loops are context aware, so your song is always in key and on time, and you can record your vocals on top of them. App is free. No sign-up required. Go make a song. You can make a real song in minutes. No music theory or experience required.
