The product

Generate on your Windows machine.

This site does not host generated listen files. Aurora is a Windows DAW: you describe a beat, it writes a session locally, and you finish it in the piano roll, mixer and vocal booth. Start at $20 a month from Aurora DAW LLC.

Aurora DAW · Studio tour · 2026

Captured from the live engine on this machine. Audio is an Aurora native render playing under the tour. Click through the stack below if you would rather flip stills at your own pace.

The studio

Generate

Type a sentence. Set genre, key and BPM if you care to. Press Generate. The rail on the left is every session this machine has made.

How it works

Four stages. No blank session.

Aurora runs the whole path from a sentence to a master, and hands you the controls at every stage.

Step 01

Compose

An AI model writes the structure, harmony, drums and 808 line, framed by the genre preset you picked. Point it at a model running on your own machine, use a cloud model, or turn the model off entirely and let Aurora's built-in arranger write the song.

Step 02

Print

The parts are played by Aurora Prism, Aurora's own synthesis. Point Aurora at a Splice library you already own and it can key- and tempo-lock real loops alongside them. Leave that pointed nowhere and every sound in the song is Prism.

Step 03

Gate

Every render is scored against three hard gates before you hear it: in key, on time, and mix. A render that misses is held with its reasons shown.

Step 04

Finish

Open the piano roll, the arrangement, the mixer with unlimited inserts per strip, and the vocal booth. Export stems, or export the whole session to Ableton Live, Bitwig or Studio One.

The studio

Not a black box. A room you can walk into.

Aurora hands back a real session, not an MP3. Every note, every fader and every insert is yours to move.

Generate · prompt · genre · producer · plugin mode
Aurora's Generate screen: Compose the impossible, a prompt box, genre Trap, and a Generate button, with the Field Arc session loaded in the vault.

The whole interface, on the screen you start from. Type the sentence, set genre, key and BPM if you care to, press Generate. The rail on the left is every session this machine has made — each one kept and tagged with the gates it passed or the reasons it was held. The Producer field names the model actually doing the writing. You can point it at a local model, a cloud model, or switch it off.

Plugin modes

Pure Aurora, or your own rack.

One product, three signal paths. The quality gates are identical on all of them.

Default

Native

Aurora Prism plus Aurora's own plugins on every bus. No third-party instruments required.

  • No third-party plugins required
  • Highest tuning and timing floors
  • The most consistent renders

Device

Your own UAD and VST chains, driven by Aurora and printed through the same gates.

  • Uses plugins you already own
  • Your studio's colour
  • Same quality gates

Hybrid

Prism first, your device buses second, with a native fallback if a host misbehaves.

  • Both paths in one render
  • Caches host failures
  • The render never dies
Capabilities

Built for people who ship.

01 · Engine

Sentence to full song

Plain language or a genre pick becomes a complete arrangement with hooks, verses and a form at least two minutes long. The two-minute floor is enforced in the composer and re-checked as a hard gate in QC.

02 · Sound

Aurora Prism

An original sound source across keys, orchestra, lead, 808, bass, drums, guitar, pluck and pad. No sampled third-party content.

03 · Quality

Three hard gates

In key, on time and mix, scored on every render. The overall song score weights mix at 62 percent, tuning at 20 and timing at 18.

04 · Genre

Style frames

Trap through country, rock and metal — each with its own color theme and original abstract artwork. Style frames for the engine, never song clones or other artists’ faces.

05 · Control

Console and inserts

A real mixer with editable insert order and unlimited plugins per strip, live AudioWorklet metering, and plugin windows you can actually open.

06 · Voice

Vocal booth

Track straight into a chain locked to the song's key, scale and tempo. A dry safety take is printed alongside every processed take.

07 · Export

Stems and sessions

Nine export kinds in WAV, FLAC or MP3. Stem ZIPs ship with the mixer recipe and per-bus insert chains. Sessions export to .dawproject for Bitwig and Studio One, and .als for Ableton Live.

08 · Master

One enforced finalizer

A 4x-oversampled true-peak limiter with a verified -1.0 dBTP ceiling, written as 24-bit PCM, mono-safe below 120 Hz, with per-platform loudness targets.

What’s new · Frontier Wave 1 · August 2026

Four new engineers in the box.

Frontier Wave 1 is the August 2026 engine wave. The auto-mix now EQs every role on its own, the final hook lifts itself, the engine remembers what it just wrote, and the master you export actually moves. Same sentence in.

01 · Auto-mix EQ

Every role gets its own curve.

The auto-mix no longer treats the record as one lump. Every instrument role — kick, 808, keys, lead, strings, vox — gets its own engineer-grade corrective EQ curve, tuned per genre family.

  • Kick · 808 · keys · lead · strings · vox
  • Engineer-grade corrective curves
  • Tuned per genre family
02 · Arrangement

The last chorus lifts itself.

The classic final-chorus modulation, composed in automatically: the last hook lifts 1–2 semitones and the harmony underneath is remapped to the new key, so the lift lands musical instead of sideways.

  • Final hook up 1–2 semitones
  • Harmony remapped to the new key
  • Composed in, not post-processed
03 · Anti-repeat

It remembers what it just wrote.

Every generation is fingerprinted on eight musical axes — key, mode, tempo, form, progression, groove, motif, instrumentation — and your next song is guaranteed to differ from your recent ones on at least four of them. A night of renders never becomes a night of twins.

  • 8-axis musical fingerprint
  • ≥ 4 axes different, guaranteed
  • Memory spans recent generations
04 · Mix automation

The master moves.

Real mix moves are rendered into the shipped master: filters open into the hook, verses dip, and the final hook lifts. Not just static levels parked at print time.

  • Filters open into the hook
  • Verses dip
  • Final hook lifts
The four Frontier Wave 1 moves each have their own kill switch. A default-off flag is not a site claim. Each move can be switched off without touching the rest.
Earlier this summer

The skills just shipped.

Arrangement rebuilt as a pro console. Every genre gets a visual world. The DAW design system matches this site — same ice accent, same warm paper ink, same aurora signature.

01 · Arrangement Studio v3

A real arrange window.

Two-row toolbelt with labeled groups. Sticky gutters with color rails and type badges. Section energy on the ruler. Ice playhead with tip. Structure inspector for bars, energy and print.

  • Select · razor · mute · paint · loop · slip
  • Local edits until Print edits
  • Envelope lanes + bar grid you can count
02 · Genre worlds

Original art for each world.

Each genre lights the Generate surface in its own palette and abstract artwork — geometry and atmosphere only. Never other artists’ likenesses, logos or album covers.

  • Trap · drill · plugg · rage · rock · metal · country…
  • Live accent on Generate + library accents
  • Family gallery you can browse by eye
03 · Design system

Luxury orbital atelier.

One ice accent. Warm ivory ink on blue-black. Editorial serif italic for display. Aurora gradient only where it earns the stage. Built for long sessions, not dashboards.

  • Measured contrast ladder
  • Static glass paint — no blur soup on the mixer
  • Site and app share the same tokens
04 · Engine truth

Still a full session.

Prompt to mastered instrumental, then piano roll, mixer, vocal booth and stems. Native / Device / Hybrid plugin modes. Quality gates on every render.

  • In-key · on-time · mix gates
  • -1.0 dBTP true-peak ceiling
  • Windows · local render path

FAQ

Straight answers.

Does everything really run on my machine?

All the audio work does. Rendering, synthesis, mixing and mastering happen locally in Aurora's own engine on your Windows machine. Your audio is never uploaded to Aurora DAW LLC. Composition is the exception: the arrangement is written by an AI model. You can point Aurora at a model running locally, use a cloud model, or switch the model off and let Aurora's built-in arranger write the song.

Are samples included?

No, and we would rather say so plainly. Aurora ships its own instruments - Aurora Prism - original synthesis with no third-party content. For loops, Aurora can index a Splice library you already own. Nothing from Splice, Nexus or UAD is bundled with Aurora.

Do I need UAD hardware or expensive plugins?

No. Native mode is the default and uses only Aurora Prism and Aurora's own plugins. Device and Hybrid modes exist for people who already own UAD or VST chains and want to use them.

Can I change the song after it generates?

Yes - that is the point. You get a real session: a piano roll with every part note-editable, an arrangement timeline, a mixer with editable insert order and unlimited plugins per strip, and a vocal booth. You can also export stems, or export the whole session to Ableton Live, Bitwig or Studio One.

Does it copy existing artists or songs?

No. A genre preset is a style frame - tempo range, drum feel, harmonic character. The composition itself is written fresh for your prompt. Aurora does not reproduce any specific song. Genre artwork on the site and in the app is original abstract art — never other artists’ faces or album covers.

How many genres are there?

Genre presets are style frames — tempo range, drum feel, harmonic character. Aurora DAW LLC does not publish a hand-typed world count on this page. Artwork is original abstract geometry, never another artist's likeness.

What do I need to run it?

Windows. Aurora is a Windows desktop application; there is no Mac or Linux build today. Everything else - the engine, the plugins, the instruments - is in the download.

Is there a song or credit limit?

No. The $20/month plan includes unlimited songs. There is no credit pack and no per-song meter. The license ends 6 UTC calendar months after the confirmed purchase.

What does $20 a month include?

There is one public price: $20 a month, locked for six UTC calendar months from the confirmed Stripe purchase. After that instant you buy again at the then-current price. Pricing is due to rise. Aurora DAW LLC does not refund.
