At Swound, we believe that music creation deserves tools that truly understand how music is made. Modern production is powerful, but it is also fragmented: projects live across hard drives, samples are scattered, collaboration happens through endless file transfers, and creativity is often slowed down by technical friction.

Swound was developed to remove friction from music creation. By combining intelligent cloud storage, structured collaboration, version control, and AI-powered tools, Swound creates an environment where ideas move faster and collaboration feels natural for music creators.

A cloud that understands music projects

Most cloud storage solutions treat a music project like any other folder. They require manual consolidation, careful preparation, and constant attention to avoid missing files.

Swound takes a different approach. When a project is uploaded, the Swound app automatically parses it in the background. It understands how modern DAWs structure their sessions and intelligently analyzes projects created in Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, and GarageBand.

Swound locates every audio file used in the session, wherever it lives on disk, collects all samples and layers, extracts every MIDI clip, and identifies the plugins and instruments involved. There is no need to consolidate a project beforehand or change existing habits. Swound adapts to the way creators already work.

What ends up in the cloud is not just storage, but a structured and complete representation of the project itself.

Instant project insight, without opening a DAW

Large projects can take minutes to open, especially when they rely on heavy plugins. This makes revisiting older ideas slow and frustrating. With Swound, projects can be inspected instantly. Creators can understand the structure of a session, see its layers, MIDI content, and technical setup in seconds, without launching a DAW. This makes browsing past work effortless and turns creative history into something accessible rather than archived.

Reuse ideas across projects with ease

Because Swound understands projects at a deep level, musical elements are no longer locked inside individual sessions. Audio layers, samples, MIDI clips, and other components can be dragged and dropped from one project into another, even across different DAWs. This transforms past work into a creative resource. Ideas can be reused, reshaped, and combined naturally, allowing new projects to grow faster and more organically.

Version control built for music projects

Creative work evolves constantly. Swound includes full project version control, allowing creators to move backward or forward through a project’s history at any time. This makes experimentation safe and encourages creative risk-taking, knowing that previous versions are always accessible. Instead of juggling multiple “final” exports, creators can focus on making music, confident that every step is preserved.

Collaboration with clarity and control

Swound was designed with collaboration at its core. Each project supports role-based access, allowing creators to invite collaborators as editors or listeners. Editors can download projects, commit changes, and actively participate in the music creation, while listeners can stream tracks and leave feedback without accessing files.

Every project also includes a dedicated discussion space. Feedback and conversations live directly alongside the music, keeping communication clear, contextual, and easy to follow.

AI that enhances creative flow

Swound’s cloud infrastructure is deeply connected to its AI tools, designed to enhance music creation & production. Because every project is parsed, structured, and understood at a musical level, AI can operate directly within the creative context.

Swound’s AI models are built to supercharge creativity, not replace it. They reduce technical friction, save time, and help creators achieve better results — while keeping artistic intent firmly in human hands.

This includes SwoundGPT, an intelligent assistant built specifically for music creators. It can help with songwriting and lyrics, offer production tips and creative ideas, provide guidance on mixing and mastering, and act as a knowledgeable companion throughout the entire creative process.

Swound also includes powerful AI production tools, such as a high-quality stem splitter and an advanced Audio-to-MIDI converter, allowing creators to extract MIDI from any song for remixing, learning, or inspiration. These tools are fully integrated into the platform, making advanced workflows accessible in just a few clicks.

Later this year, Swound will introduce additional AI models focused on vocal generation, sample creation, MIDI generation, and music-based AI inspiration. These tools are designed to remove the need to browse through hundreds of sample packs, instead generating unique ideas and sounds that naturally fit the track you are working on.

The goal is simple: reduce friction, accelerate creativity, and let inspiration flow without interruption.

daw-project-marketplace

Swound includes a marketplace designed for creators who want to learn, share, and earn from real production work.

In the marketplace, creators can download full, high-quality DAW projects, not just isolated files. This includes original songs, remixes, remakes, tutorials, project templates, as well as individual samples and MIDI clips. Every project is complete, structured, and ready to be explored inside a DAW, making it a powerful learning and inspiration resource for music creators and bedroom producers alike.

Selling a project is just as simple. With one click, creators can publish their work to the marketplace and start earning from it. Each project can be released with clear, customizable licensing, ranging from personal use only, to educational use, open source, or more permissive commercial options. This gives creators full control over how their work is used, shared, and remixed.

Every released project also includes a required YouTube video. This creates a direct bridge between Swound and creators’ YouTube channels, allowing projects to be showcased through walkthroughs, breakdowns, or tutorials. As projects gain visibility on Swound, creators simultaneously grow their YouTube audience, reaching an engaged community of music makers who are actively looking to learn.

The result is a marketplace that goes beyond downloads. It becomes a discovery engine for talent, a learning platform for creators, and a sustainable way to turn production work into income — without friction.
