Human music in progress

Make better songs before they’re finished.

Capture rough ideas, keep them private while they grow, then share the part you want fresh ears on and get focused feedback from real musicians and listeners.

Private by default. Published by choice.

“Does the chorus lift enough after the quiet verse?”

Working draft · Singer/Songwriter0:48
Example TuneCheck

Songs start messy.

A chorus in Voice Memos. Three different Takes. Lyrics in Notes. A demo you keep sending to friends asking, “What do you think?”

TuneCheck gives unfinished music one place to live and a better way to ask for feedback when you need it.

A dim writing room at night: an acoustic guitar, an open notebook and a microphone under a warm lamp.

The loop

From first idea to better song.

One loop, five stages — and it keeps coming back around. You stay in control of every decision.

  1. Capture

    Record in TuneCheck or import something you've already recorded.

    Record Import
  2. Develop

    Keep Projects, Takes, lyrics and notes together privately.

  3. Ask

    Choose the section you want feedback on and ask one focused question.

    Wants feedback on: Chorus
  4. Listen

    Other musicians respond while the song can still change.

    A rating, a vote or a written reply

  5. Iterate

    Take what helps and keep working on the song.

    New Take

    back into your Project

Iterate feeds straight back into your Project, and the loop starts again.

Capture it your way.

Record straight into TuneCheck, or bring in something you already recorded. Your recording becomes a private Take either way.

Record in TuneCheck

When inspiration hits, open the recorder and capture the idea immediately.

Quick CaptureRecording

Import a recording

Already have the idea in Voice Memos, Files or your DAW? Bring it into Studio as a Take.

Voice memo Import Take

Your original recording stays intact.

Private Studio

A private home for unfinished music.

Record ten versions if you want. None of them become public until you deliberately create a TuneCheck.

Notes

Share the moment you’re unsure about.

You never have to publish a whole rough demo. Trim to the section in question, ask one focused question, and choose how people answer.

Step 1 · Choose the moment

Take · 3:42

Selected 0:48 – 1:37
0:003:42

Choose up to two minutes and ask about the part that actually matters.

Step 2 · Ask the question

Focused question

Does the chorus lift enough?

Example TuneCheck0:52
See all example questions
  • Does the chorus lift enough?
  • Which melody works better?
  • Are the vocals too buried?
  • Should the second verse stay?
  • Is the arrangement getting too busy?

Two ways to ask.

Sometimes you need a reaction. Sometimes you need a decision.

Standard TuneCheck — How is this working?

One selected clip. Listeners give a 1–5 Rock rating and may explain what they heard.

Your rating

Written feedback (optional)

A/B TuneCheck — Which version works better?

Two versions. Listeners choose A or B and may explain why. No Rocks.

Version AVersion B

Nobody is anchored by the crowd.

Listeners respond to what they hear before they can see how anyone else answered.

Community results stay hidden until you respond, so you hear the music, not the crowd.

Example TuneCheck

The work before the song

Rough is the point.

The first recording does not need to sound finished. The lyric does not need to be perfect. The chorus does not need to be certain.

TuneCheck exists for the part of songwriting nobody usually sees.
