In their own words
Amped Studio
Amped Studio is an online music production platform for recording, arranging, editing, and mixing music in a browser. Its AI assistant can generate a composition in a selected style and tempo for later editing. The stem splitter separates songs into two, four, or five stems, including vocals, drums, bass, piano, and other instruments. Audio and MIDI tools include audio-to-MIDI conversion, pitch and gain editing, stretching, cutting, MIDI editing, effects, and parameter automation. A VST Remote bridge connects locally installed VST and VST3 plugins to browser sessions, with downloads for Windows and Mac. Projects can be shared, and two or more Premium members can work together on a shared project. The studio works in Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Brave, but the FAQ says it does not function fully in Firefox or Safari and is not currently available on mobile. The Starter plan lists 5 projects, 16 tracks, and 0 GB external audio storage. Premium costs $6.99 a month with a 7-day trial; Premium + AI costs $12.99 a month with a 7-day trial.
