INTRODUCTION

Every few decades, a breakthrough quietly redraws the boundaries of music production. In the 1950s, it was multitrack tape. In the 1980s, MIDI. In the 2000s, digital audio workstations (DAWs) like Ableton Live and FL Studio became widely accessible. This led to the rise of the home studio and the bedroom producer.

Now, 2025 could mark another turning point. Soundverse AI and Veena Studio have announced a partnership that introduces the world's first AI-native digital audio workstation.

This AI DAW offers a unified platform that generates and edits music in real time using plain English, natural workflows, and ethically trained AI models. With AI Studio, users can simply type "create a mid-tempo neo-soul groove with tabla-flavoured drums." A multi-instrumental track appears, where every stem is editable. It's not a concept demo or novelty app. It's a fully equipped studio reimagined for an era where text becomes sound and ideas materialise on command.

FROM GENERATION TO FULL PRODUCTION

The partnership brings together two complementary missions. Soundverse has led innovation in AI music generation and editing. Their tools convert ideas, lyrics, or references into fully formed songs. Veena, on the other hand, has built a professional-grade DAW that runs entirely in the browser. It features robust editing capabilities and an AI producer that interprets plain-language prompts.

Now, through deep cross-integration, the two platforms function as one. Users can begin with a generative prompt in Soundverse. They can then shift seamlessly into Veena's multitrack timeline to refine every layer. They can adjust timing, swing, effects, and arrangement in real time.

"Soundverse proved a single prompt can turn into a radio-ready track ethically," says Sourabh Pateriya, founder of Soundverse. "Veena lets you edit that generated track. Every bar, every stem. It's the DAW that the musicians truly need. This is the first time the true fusion of state of the art music generation and DAW-level editing capabilities is happening."

Veena is embedded inside Soundverse, and Soundverse inside Veena. There's no need for WAV exports, folder navigation, or switching between apps. Instead, users access a single, browser-based workspace where ideation, generation, arrangement, and mixing all coexist on a unified timeline.

BROWSER-NATIVE, HUMAN-FRIENDLY

Veena is founded by multi-instrumentalist and former AI researcher Palaash Agrawal and producer-rapper, ex-audio engineer Aryan Kapoor. Veena offers an uncompromising production environment without dongles, setups, or installation hurdles. Its browser-based interface includes a full multitrack timeline, audio and MIDI editing lanes, real-time FX chains, and latency as low as 300 milliseconds in Chrome.

Its flagship feature is the AI Co-Producer. This tool interprets user instructions written in plain English. For example, users can type "Sidechain the pad to the kick and swing the hi-hats by 12 percent," or ask "Make this vocal sound like an 808-cowbell robot." The AI parses these commands and makes precise changes. It generates automation curves, filter adjustments, or layered transformations under the hood.

This complements the generation capabilities of Soundverse to give users unparalleled control of AI music generation. As Riley Williams, Chief Technology Officer at Soundverse puts it: "Our AI stack outputs 48 kHz WAVs with lyric-synchronised vocals. Veena's low-latency engine lets you edit those stems and apply effects. Think of it as Photoshop's 'Smart Object' layer, but for entire songs."

Things you can do in the AI Studio with Co-Producer:

Beat generation

• Ask for genre specific beats: "Create a trap drum beat"
• "Create a drill drum pattern with fast paced hi-hats"
• Works across genres: pop, synthwave, jazz, house, techno, afrobeat, groovy, hip hop, rap
• Request specific patterns, or simply ask for a beat without specifying a pattern

Chord generation

• "Create a sad but hopeful chord progression" (emotion-based chord progressions)
• "Create a grand jazzy chord progression with 7ths and dominant chords"
• "Create a chord progression in i - iv - v - vii"

Melody generation (Audio or MIDI)

• "Create a counter melody that cycles through 3 consecutive notes in triplets"
• Drag and drop existing MIDI clips into the AI Co-Producer for contextual melody creation:
  • "Can you create a bassline that complements this chord progression? Add 5th notes and syncopation"
• Specify audio or MIDI output (audio clips are more natural sounding, but not as editable):
  • "Create a synth audio melody"
  • "Create an 808 bass loop"
  • "Create a midi loop with guitar strum patterns"
  • "Add a flute loop"
• By default, AI automatically chooses whether to return audio or MIDI based on the request

MIDI Editing

• "I don't like this midi melody. Can you bring this down an octave? Also make it dissonant, and add random variations like syncopation and breaks"
• "Can you make the kick drums in this beat to alternate between single and double kicks?"
• "Can you add some open hi-hats at the end of each bar?"

SFX generation

• "I need an 808 bass sound"
• "Create a drill snare"
• "Give me an ambient guitar texture that I can use in the background"
• "Hard snare and kick drum sample"
• "Create a light drum foley sample"
• "How about a vocal line here"

Audio editing (instrument to instrument conversion)

• Drag and drop audio clips into AI Co-Producer, then request transformations:
• "Can you make this sound like a violin"
• "Can you make this vocal melody into a flute?"

Modify FX chains

• "I need some grit on this clip" (adds distortion)
• "Increase the reverb by 10% on this clip"
• "Can you make it sound spacey"
• "Make the low end sound tighter"

Stem separation

• "I have this audio file. Can you separate the stems for me?"
• "Can you extract the vocals/drums/bass from this audio file?"

The result is not just speed or convenience, but a different kind of creative control. As the Veena team describes it: "Cursor is to code what Veena is to production."

LICENSING BY DEFAULT, NOT AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT

One of the less visible, but most important, aspects of the integration is how it handles licensing. All of Soundverse's AI models are trained exclusively on non-copyrighted content, catalogues from rights-holders, and contributions from their Content Partner Program.

The platform's licensing options are also modular. Creators can begin with royalty-free outputs, or upgrade instantly to sync rights, mechanicals, or full ownership depending on their needs. Each export carries embedded metadata to ensure legal clarity. Whether it's a song, a stem, or a voice model, the rights are clear. This system makes Soundverse usable by independent musicians and content creators, labels, and companies seeking scalable, rights-cleared sound.

A SHARED VISION FOR HUMAN-LED, AI-ASSISTED MUSIC CREATION

At the heart of the Soundverse and Veena integration is a belief that music tools should expand the role of the creator, not diminish it. AI in this environment is not a composer but a collaborator. It's capable of interpreting instructions and generating contextually rich material, always responding to human direction.

The goal is to reduce friction of creation, not creativity. Instead of juggling downloads, sample packs, plug-ins, and clunky exports, users are met with a fluid, full-stack production environment. From first sketch to final bounce, the process becomes intuitive and adaptive, while remaining musically precise.

The system already serves a wide range of creators. Beatmakers experiment with genre mashups. Topliners build tracks around a single lyric. Indie game studios adapt timing to scene transitions. Music educators use Chromebooks in classrooms. The integration opens the door even wider. It lowers technical barriers for newcomers while offering DAW-grade control for professionals.

This is not a lightweight toolset. Audio is rendered at 48 kHz, 32-bit float, offering ample headroom for professional mixing and mastering.

WHAT IS SOUNDVERSE AI?

Soundverse was founded by Sourabh Pateriya, former Spotify product lead and co-inventor of the streaming giant's "Basic Patch" creation flow, together with Riley Williams, an applied scientist who spent ten years at Meta Reality Labs advancing contextual AI for audio and vision.

Soundverse has been used by 1.6m+ creators who have generated more than 3 million tracks across the web studio and API. Over 20 organisations, including video-editing apps and AAA-game studios, run production workloads through the Enterprise API. Each asset is trained only on opt-in, licensed or public-domain audio. With a continually expanding model catalogue, ethical data provenance, and a founder team that bridges global music-tech product expertise and state-of-the-art multimodal research, Soundverse positions itself as one of the most complete and trusted generative-music stacks on the market.

WHAT IS VEENA?

Veena is an AI powered Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) that helps musicians compose and produce music with the help of an AI co-producer.

WHY BUILD AI DAW IN-BROWSER?

From day one, Soundverse x Veena has been driven by a clear vision: to lower the barrier to entry in music production. Traditionally, music creation has been a highly technical and equipment-heavy process. It's often inaccessible to aspiring artists without professional setups.

Soundverse reimagines this experience by focusing on accessibility without compromising artistic control. The browser-based interface requires no downloads or upfront payments. Anyone can start instantly. AI bridges the gap between creative intent and technical execution. It translates ideas into actions so users can focus on expression rather than complexity.

The platform is designed with simplicity in mind. It features intuitive drag-and-drop workflows, minimal controls, and an interface that feels familiar to users of legacy DAWs like FL Studio, yet radically easier to use.

A NEW KIND OF CREATIVE COMMUNITY

While the technical achievement is considerable, both companies emphasise that this is also a project about people: how they collaborate, learn, and make music together.

The Soundverse and Veena teams have each built communities around openness. Feature polls, code walkthroughs, Discord office hours, and beat challenges are not afterthoughts. They're central to the roadmap. Community involvement has directly shaped the development arc, and that continues post-launch.

"We'll rap on your drill beat live on stream if you ship a Veena macro that makes Palaash's noodles taste better," Aryan jokes. Palaash replies without skipping a beat: "Challenge accepted, but only if I can caramelise onions while the track renders."

It's a tone that reflects technical ambition, shared curiosity, and creativity.

WHY THIS MATTERS

New tools often bring new anxieties. When the first digital audio workstations arrived, many feared they would replace the studio engineer, the producer, even the musician. Instead, they expanded access, lowered technical barriers, and changed who got to participate.

This moment carries echoes of that shift.

The integration of generative models into production workflows will inevitably raise questions about authorship, intent, and control. But what's emerging here is not the automation of artistry. It is something quieter: removal of friction, and a reconsideration of what it means to produce music in the first place.

Soundverse and Veena have not built a system to replace the producer. They have built one that is instantly responsive and never in the way. The work of producing can begin earlier, move faster, and leave more room for experimentation.

Immediacy doesn't mean less intention. If anything, it invites more of it.

This matters not because it replaces old ways of working, but because it invites new ones.
