From first idea to your next record

Go beyond the generate button.

Aurora writes and arranges the instrumental, renders its parts on your PC and masters the result. Then the session opens for the part only you can do.

  1. Give your idea a direction.

    Describe the mood and instruments. Choose a style, key and tempo, or let Aurora choose. Explore a different direction when the first result is not the one.

    Try your first idea ↗
  2. Stay in the creative seat.

    Work with the arrangement, edit notes in the piano roll, shape the mix and follow the signal flow. Keep the parts you like and change the rest.

    Explore the workspaces ↗
  3. Bring your own performance.

    Use the Vocal and Guitar Booth workspaces to record and develop a performance alongside your song. Master and stem downloads are the original generated prints; exporting a complete mix that includes your new takes is not yet available.

A palette built for the song.

Aurora Prism brings modeled instruments and effects, and the release ships 99 instrument banks plus a 13,203-sample library in 44 packs: Aurora Foundry drum kits, bass sounds and instruments and public-domain (CC0) recordings, which the engine draws on for drums and sampled parts. Every sound is Aurora-owned or CC0. These counts come from customer release 1.20261004.2, installed and running.

A few things to know.

Understand how Aurora works before making a purchase decision. The studio, output, and platform requirements are explained here.

Will every track sound the same?

Compare these recordings: pop, trap, house, country, R&B, reggaeton, rock, metal and more bring different drum feels, palettes and arrangements. This small selection shows those songs, not a guarantee that every generation in a style will sound the same.

The honest limit: a genre preset is a style frame — a tempo range, a drum feel, a harmonic character, an instrument palette. Records inside one genre will share that frame, the same way two trap beats share a frame.

Is it really private?

The local studio saves masters, stems, sessions and booth recordings to your computer. The public listening page serves its own fonts and audio and has no analytics or tracking scripts. Account and device records are described in the Privacy policy.

What does leave. You activate once at auroradaw.com/login, and Aurora asks AuroraDAW.com once a day whether a newer version exists. The license check before each new song runs on your PC. If you configure an optional Model Provider, the musical request needed to compose is sent to that provider under its terms. Optional providers may process your request under their own privacy policies and terms.

Can I listen before buying?

Yes. Play every recording above without creating an account. When you are ready, buy a month or a year; your license code and the download appear right after payment.

Listen closely and use the current Terms for any existing purchase.

What happens when my month or year ends?

Creating new music pauses until you buy another month or year. Everything you made stays on your PC, and you can still open, play, mix and export it.

Nothing renews or charges you automatically. Customers from the earlier $20/month offer keep the terms they accepted.

I already have a DAW.

Keep it. Aurora exports the lossless master, the stems, and the session as a .dawproject or .als file for the DAWs that open those formats. Finish wherever you like.

What Aurora replaces is the blank session — the hours between an idea and something arranged, mixed and measured. Not the DAW you already know.

Is this allowed where I publish?

Publishing rules vary by platform and distributor. Check the current policy that applies to your release, disclose AI involvement when required, and review the rights to every track before publishing.

Use your distributor's disclosure fields when required. Policies can change, and Aurora does not guarantee that AI-assisted output is original. You are responsible for reviewing and clearing the rights to what you release.

What you need to run it.

The current Windows application has these requirements. Check the signed release documentation and the applicable purchase terms before buying.

Required

OS
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Aurora currently supports Windows only; a Mac version is not available.
Install
Nothing to install. Unzip the download (about 380 MB) and double-click Aurora DAW.vbs; Aurora brings its own runtime and opens in its own window. The first launch downloads its instruments and sample library (about 4.0 GB, losslessly compressed) with a progress window. Allow at least 20 GB of free disk space: every song keeps its full stems for mixing (about 1.4 GB each).
Network
Needed to download Aurora, to activate once at auroradaw.com/login and for the daily update check. Once activated, creating works offline until your license period ends.
Licence
Up to two Windows PCs per purchase. Copying the package or a license file to a third computer does not authorize generation, and activations are not moved during a license period.

For the booths

Interface
Use a Windows audio interface compatible with the signed release. The local booth includes device selection and reconnect controls.
Capture
The local booth requests raw microphone capture and displays latency information. Device and browser support can affect capture.
Guitar
A mono Hi-Z sum or either input. The clean DI is kept beside the printed take, so you can always go back.
Recording
WAV take capture, count-in and punch controls are visible in the local booth. Check the release documentation for supported formats and timing behavior.

Straight answers.

Playback, access, requirements and privacy.

What does “Unlimited Song Generations” mean?

There is no song quota or generation-credit pack in Aurora. You can create new songs while your license is active, within what your PC can render. The free trial lasts 72 hours; paid access lasts one calendar month or twelve calendar months. When that period ends, you can still open, play, mix and export work you already made.

If you choose to configure an optional Model Provider, its own availability, terms and charges still apply. Unlimited generations does not promise a particular rendering speed, musical result or originality. See the Terms for the full offer.

How does buying work?

Choose a month ($30) or a year ($240) under Pricing and pay securely through Link, Stripe's checkout; any sales tax is shown before you pay, and Link emails your receipt. Right after payment you get your license code and the Windows download. Unzip, open Aurora DAW.vbs, then activate at auroradaw.com/login. Nothing renews automatically. See the Terms.

Is AI music allowed on streaming platforms?

Publishing rules vary by platform and distributor. Check the current policy that applies to your release, disclose AI involvement when required, and review the rights to every track before publishing.

Aurora composes one session at a time using its instrument engine. Review each result before release and use your distributor's AI disclosure fields when required. Your platform's current policy and the rights to the material in your track determine where you can publish it.

What do I need to run it, and is there a Mac version?

Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Aurora currently supports Windows only; a Mac version is not available. Unzip the download, double-click Aurora DAW.vbs and activate once on the Windows PC you will use. You need the internet to download Aurora, to activate and for daily updates; after activation, creating works offline until your license period ends. Full requirements are in the section above and in the Terms.

What happens to my files? Does anything get uploaded?

In the local studio, masters, stems, sessions and booth recordings are saved to your machine. The public listening page has no analytics or tracking scripts. Buying and activating Aurora use the license, activation and abuse-protection records described in the Privacy policy.

What does leave. You activate once at auroradaw.com/login, and Aurora checks AuroraDAW.com once a day for updates; neither sends your songs. The license check before each new song runs on your PC. And if you configure a Model Provider for composition, the musical request needed to compose is sent to that provider under that provider's terms. Privacy and Terms set this out line by line.

Are the tracks on this page real Aurora output?

Yes. Hex Station and Golden Sunbeam were made in Aurora’s development studio in October 2026. Hex Station was selected by the user; Golden Sunbeam retains its earlier listening review. Rusty Sunset is an approved, independently reviewed archival recovery. Letter Sparkle, Strike Tower 584D, Violet Umbra 7DC4, Lost Undertow, No Whiskey and Clay of Wound are completed Aurora instrumentals with verified finalized-master and sound-source records. The ten top-genre songs were made by Windows customer releases of Aurora DAW, 1.20261004.10 to 1.20261006.3. Every highlight is a phrase from the corresponding full recording.

Do the measurements describe every Aurora generation?

No. The source and audio checks apply to these exact recordings. Rusty Sunset follows an independent archival review and the six instrumentals follow finalized-master verification; Hex Station, Golden Sunbeam and the ten top-genre songs passed the checks listed under What we checked. No numeric score alone guarantees musical quality.

Can I change the song after it generates?

Yes — that is the entire point. You get the session: an arrangement timeline with razor, mute, paint and loop tools, a piano roll where every part is note-editable, a mixer with editable insert order, a vocal booth and a guitar booth. You can re-print one section without touching the rest, export stems, or export the whole session as a .dawproject or .als file.

Current master and stem downloads are the original generated prints. A complete mix export that includes new booth takes is not yet available.

Does Aurora use samples or third-party sound libraries?

Yes, two kinds and no others: Aurora-owned sounds (its own synthesis and its own samples), and public-domain (CC0) recordings that Aurora can trace file by file to their publisher’s release. A recording without that trail is held and never plays, and the CC0 sources are credited in THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md in every release. The signed release manifest is authoritative for the files and content in a customer download. Any optional third-party plugin, library or Model Provider you configure must be obtained and licensed separately.

What about an existing purchase?

Every purchase includes the updates published during its period, and earlier customers keep the terms they accepted. See the Terms.

Does Aurora guarantee that output is original?

No. AI-assisted output is probabilistic and may resemble existing works. Do not ask a configured Model Provider to reproduce a specific song. You are responsible for reviewing, clearing and lawfully using anything you release.

How many genres are there, and where does that number come from?

This website shows 62 development style frames across 10 families, not 62 approved genres. Jazz and Dubstep are held pending genre-specific review. The nineteen recordings above have song-specific checks; they do not approve every song in their genres. A customer download's signed release manifest defines its contents.

What we checked

Hex Station and Golden Sunbeam
Made in Aurora’s October development studio from finalized masters. Hex Station is the user’s selection by title; Golden Sunbeam retains its earlier listening review. Delivery files are checked independently of that listening feedback.
Rusty Sunset
Retains its independent archival review.
Six instrumentals
Letter Sparkle, Strike Tower 584D, Violet Umbra 7DC4, Lost Undertow, No Whiskey and Clay of Wound have verified finalized masters and reviewed Aurora-generated or CC0 sound-source records.
Ten top-genre songs

Every web file was decoded and measured. These checks are specific to these recordings; they are not a promise about every generation.

Song times use the player’s minute-and-second display. Hex Station offers lossless FLAC playback where supported, with a 320 kbps MP3 fallback; Golden Sunbeam retains its approved MP3 files. Their delivery levels use attenuation only toward −11 LUFS. Rusty Sunset keeps its approved archival WAV download and existing web previews at their original quieter level. Other recordings that are louder than the target are turned down while they play, where your browser allows it; quieter ones play as they are. A numeric score is not a listening review or a guarantee of musical quality.

62 development style frames. 10 families.

The atlas is a development inventory of local style frames, not a catalog of approved genres. Jazz and Dubstep are held pending genre-specific review. Each recording above has its own source and audio checks. A song-specific check does not approve an entire genre. A customer download's signed release manifest defines its contents.

62 presets shown

Style frames, not clones. A genre preset is a tempo range, a drum feel, a harmonic character and an instrument palette. These frames describe musical traits; they are not a promise that generated output will be original. This development atlas is not a release-quality certification for any genre.

Keep the ideas coming.

Hear the songs again, explore the studio, then make it yours for a month or a year. Nothing renews on its own.
