Private beta ยท macOS

Every Ableton project you ever started. One quiet window.

Black Studio finds your Live sets, reads BPM, key and length straight from the files, and lets you listen, take notes and pick up where you left off. Made by Guilty Society for producers who have too many folders.

What it does

Projects

Every .als on your disk in one table: BPM, key, Camelot, length, backups, last edit. Open in Live in one click.

Player

Waveform player for exports with loop regions, also in the menu bar while Live is in front.

Notes over Live

A small notes window that floats above Ableton, per track. Status is set by you, never guessed.

References

Measure a reference track locally: loudness, tempo, energy by band. Hand it to Claude Desktop for a full breakdown.

Sounds

Loopcloud, Splice and your sample folders in one search. Drag straight into Live.

Read-only

It never renames, moves or writes into your music folders. Nothing is sent online except your sign-up and update checks.
