Description
11-stem splitting via Mac-native models on your M1+ chip, save licks you're working on in the language library, and save grooves in your personal metronome to play along with. Slow down, change pitch, and make loops with the actual musical grid, not a fixed BPM. Analyze microtiming and swing feel with the analysis pane. Everything runs on your Mac, nothing uploads. $29 once, 14-day full trial, no subscription.

Could you build this?
Partial Standard DAW features and simple audio playback are approachable, but native Apple Silicon 11-stem separation, low-latency DSP, and microtiming/groove analysis require serious audio engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires a native macOS app built with Swift and CoreAudio/AVAudioEngine, embedding CoreML-quantized source-separation models (such as Demucs or specialized drum/instrument splitters). The difficult challenges involve real-time audio time-stretching (like phase vocoders or Elastique), transient detection, and sub-frame microtiming grid alignment without audio artifacts. Audio DSP and CoreML optimization expertise are required.
