Your Complete
Hip Hop Platform.
The browser studio has a beat maker, multitrack recording, and an audio editor. Members can save a session and pick it up later. ACE-Step can generate music on this server when you have AI credits. Store tracks play a preview unless you have bought the full file.
The rest of the site is the community around that work: friends, crews, forums, battles, the shop, Culture Missions, and Nova, the members-only chat.

Built For Hip Hop.

Sound Packs

Multitrack Recording
Import your beat, record microphone vocals on separate tracks, overdub, mute, solo and edit every take independently.
Mix & Master
Shape tracks with EQ, compression, noise cleanup, de-essing, tuning, clarity, stereo imaging and mastering presets.
