Live looping, AI-assisted
Capture takes, layer loops, refine in place. Quantize, re-time, and chop with the assistant — or by hand.
Pre-launch · Beta access by waitlist
A DAW that listens.
Loop your guitar, ask for drums, keep playing. SmartGroove writes MIDI, generates audio, and edits your arrangement on command.
Features
Built for musicians who keep playing.
SmartGroove sits next to your transport, not in a chat window. Four things it does well — and one philosophy: never break your flow.
Writes MIDI on command
Ask for chords, bass, or a melodic counterpoint. Drops into a fresh clip, ready to edit.
Generates audio
Rhodes pads, vintage drum kits, foley textures. Generated from your prompt; lands in your session as a real audio file you can edit.
Edits arrangements
Move the chorus, double the bridge, swap the snare. Plain-language edits across the full session.
AI in the session
Your DAW, with an assistant in it.
The chat panel lives next to the transport. Ask in plain language; clips appear in the timeline, ready to edit.

FAQ
Questions we hear from working musicians.
Top five questions answered below. Anything else? Drop your email in the waitlist form — we'll get back.
What operating systems does SmartGroove run on?
Windows ships first. macOS support is in active development and will land before the v1.0 public launch — both platforms ship together. Linux is not on the v1 roadmap.
Do I need an internet connection?
Only for the AI features. The audio engine, looping, plugin hosting, and project save/load all run fully offline. AI features (MIDI generation, audio generation, chat) go through a hosted proxy and consume credits from your monthly plan.
Can I use SmartGroove without subscribing?
Yes. The Free tier gives you the full DAW, looper, arrangement, and plugin hosting — only the AI features are gated. Pro and Studio tiers add monthly AI credit allocations.
What happens when I run out of AI credits?
The audio engine and looper keep working normally — credits only gate the AI features. Credits reset monthly with your subscription; the meter is visible in Settings → Account.
Is there a trial?
The Free tier IS the trial — no time limit, no card required. Upgrade to a paid tier any time to unlock AI features.
