MOBILE VERSION IS YOUR COMPANION. — Mobile mixer mode and rehearsal mode apps for bands, with the same engine as desktop

Same engine as desktop, two modes built for how bands actually work — refining on the couch, rehearsing in the room. It's a second product, not a downgrade.

Rehearsal mode

No laptop. No DAW. Just structure, chords, and a metronome you can trust.

Your studio in your pocket. It never lets you down.
04 · PHILOSOPHY#philosophy

THREE THINGS WE BELIEVE.

01

Context over files

A track isn't audio alone. Structure, chords, lyrics, comments anchored to seconds — they all live in one room.

02

Async by design

One records at midnight. Another listens at breakfast. Nothing requires you to be online at the same time.

03

Conflict is a choice

Two solos? Two arrangements? That's not a problem to hide — it's a decision to make. sonicdesk makes it visible.

“

Music is a process. Not a file.
