From the first take to the finished choir

This is the heart of arrTUNE DAW. Just keep scrolling and watch your recordings turn, step by step, into a finished vocal production at the highest studio standard. New: an AI learns your voice from your take folder and rescues the parts that did not quite work. All in one program.

Step 1

Sing as often as you like

Record pass after pass, and arrTUNE DAW keeps everything together in one take folder. In your headphones you hear yourself directly, with reverb if you like.

Step 2

One button, and every take sits

In the take folder you press PITCH. Now every single take gets tuned, not just one. The Tune slider sets how much.

TIMING pulls all takes together, GATE removes the silence between phrases, and BREATH keeps the breath in, quietly.

Step 3

You choose the lead vocal

Now you listen through the tuned takes and mark the best parts. Your lead vocal appears on the track above straight away and plays.

Step 4

The final polish with arrTUNE

Edit with arrTUNE opens the voice note by note: pitch, length, vibrato and level, right on the track. No transfer, no second program.

Step 5 · New

One click, and arrTUNE learns your voice from the take folder

Open the vocal with Edit with arrTUNE and click AI TUNING at the top. Your take folder with all its takes is already listed as the source. One click on LEARN, and the AI learns how you sound. You watch the progress live.

This only works because the DAW knows all of your recordings, not just the finished track. You can export the learned voice and load it again in later productions.

Step 6 · New

Weak or nasal? Your AI voice steps in

If a passage sounds tired, pressed or nasal, select exactly those notes in the arrTUNE editor and press AI. Pitch, timing and expression stay yours, the sound comes from the voice your take folder has learned. All other notes stay original.

Consonants and highs can stay ORIGINAL or come from the AI as well, and COMPARE lets you hear the difference. While it is being calculated, the clip shows TUNING %.

Step 7

The double at the push of a button

Create Doubling builds the double from the takes that did not end up in the lead. So these are real voices, sung by you.

You choose how many sing at once, three for example, and arrTUNE DAW spreads them across the stereo field. The more takes you sang, the more voices are possible.

For single passages the arrTUNE editor has DOUBLE: select notes, and two voices sing along left and right, built from what you hear, so on AI passages with your AI voice.

Step 8

Finally, a choir from your own voice

Create Choir Instrument turns your takes into an instrument. You play the chords, and the Harmonizer sings them in your own voice, with the words of your lead vocal.

That way the recordings that would otherwise have gone unused become a whole choir in studio quality.

Listen

Hear it yourself: arrTUNE compared

First the untuned original recording, then every pitch twice: with arrTUNE and with a high industry standard. Both start from the same raw recording, and all examples are level-matched. You can switch during playback, the position stays the same.

Hear it yourself: the harmonizer

The same recording as above, turned into a choir by ArrChoir. Three engines at the same level. You can switch during playback, the position stays the same.

ZERO responds without delay. HQ works from the learned recording. TAKES builds the voices from your takes.

Features

Features

Track view

Audio and MIDI tracks, clips with fades and crossfades, take folders with comping, piano roll, colour folders, markers, tempo track. Tool field with marquee, eraser and mute, grid chip, auto-scroll, pinch zoom, freely assignable keys. Four DJ effect lanes with regions for hi-cut, low-cut, tempo-synced delay, tape stop, reverse, phaser, volume or one of your own plugins, each drawn as a curve and aimed at single buses or the master.

Vocals

The lead engine aligns timing and pitch of all takes in a take folder to their common average. The result is doublings that run in sync and can be bounced to a new track. Take folders can be linked as master and slave: doublings and backing vocals follow the timing of the lead vocal. Audio edit removes breaths, clicks and mouth noises. Vocal Space ducks the music under the voice, sidechain from any track.

Video & Lyrics

Video track with clips, photos, titles and motion. Lyrics are stamped onto the time with a keypress, export as LRC. Lyric video with effects straight to MP4.

Mixer & Buses

32 sum buses with names and colours. Channel mixer and bus mixer, both also as separate windows. Inserts, sends pre and post, pre-mix and master. Mix routing with stems, freeze and realtime freeze. Metering with LUFS.

Plugins & Hardware

Audio Unit and VST3 load directly. Plugin presets, plugin roll, blacklist. Hardware controllers with channel follow, external synths with MIDI clock and audio return. Low-latency direct path for playing in.

Stems & Import

Stem separation into vocals, drums, bass and rest with the free add-on package. Tempo detection and follow tempo via varispeed. Import as track or take folder, compressed formats included.

Export & Workflow

Mixdown at the push of a button, mix variants as instrumental, half playback, live playback and full playback, stems export. Play from cursor or selection with pre-roll, cycle, transport window, song archive as ZIP, day and night mode, help search.

Plugins

Plugins

The plugins are built for arrTUNE DAW and run right inside the app. All of them are included in arrTUNE DAW. Besides them, arrTUNE DAW loads your own Audio Unit and VST3 plugins.

ArrChannel – EQ view

ArrChannel Included

Channel strip with EQ, compressor, de-esser and a vari-mu stage in one chain. The EQ has up to seven bands and shows the spectrum live.

ArrSpace – delay and reverb

ArrSpace Included

Delay and convolution reverb in one plugin, in series or in parallel. Both blocks can run in reverse. The delay has ping-pong, tape saturation and ducking, the reverb more than a hundred rooms, halls and plates.

ArrSampler – a loaded piano instrument

ArrSampler Included

Sampler that loads instruments in the EXS format directly, with all zones and velocity layers. You build your own instruments by drag and drop, and the search covers all your libraries.

ArrDrums – drum kit with reverb

ArrDrums Included

Drum sampler for your own kits. Every key has its own settings and a send into the built-in reverb.

ArrChoir – choir with four parts

ArrChoir Included

A live choir from your lead vocal: you play chords, and four parts plus a pedal voice sing them with the lead's lyrics. Three play modes (live, around, diatonic), three sound engines up to your own takes, plus humanize, portamento and scenes.

arrTUNE – notes of the lead vocal

arrTUNE Included

Pitch correction for vocals with zero latency. The notes sit on the grid; you drag their pitch, length and vibrato, or let them snap to the key automatically. Plus a gate that turns pauses and breaths down separately.

ArrMaster – mastering chain

ArrMaster Included

The mastering chain on the master: a seven-band EQ with dynamic bands, drive with saturation, a desk with mono bass and stereo width, polish and a maximizer with a true-peak ceiling. LUFS and peak meters always in view.

ArrLift – one-knob build-up

ArrLift Included

A build-up effect with a single knob: the further you turn it, the thinner the dry signal and the bigger the hall behind it. Made for lifts into the chorus or the drop.

A word first

Hi, I'm Hens Hensen. Originally I just wanted to write a MIDI plug-in – and ended up building an entire DAW around it. It simply happened that way, and the ambition was there. Today arrTUNE DAW is my daily tool: every one of my productions is made with it, from the first chord to the finished mix. I work on the program every day and keep extending it. If a feature is missing or something in the workflow bothers you, write to me. Much of what is in there today came about exactly like that: from requests by people who make music with it.

The idea

The idea behind arrTUNE DAW

I built arrTUNE DAW to save you a lot of busywork. Its structure is thought through from the start: everything connects, from the sum buses down to the stems. You get the final mix in several versions right away, whether instrumental, half playback or live playback, all automatic.

On top of that, plenty of features make producing easier. So you can get back to what it is really about: making music.
