We should talk - I'm building a new DAW with this in mind :)

  We should talk - I’m building a Claude Code plugin for music composition and analysis, which currently integrates with Ableton using MCP and Ableton control surface (basically LOM) and an M4L patch. But it could easily work with any DAW that has the right primitives.

      Yeah, also https://github.com/ahujasid/ableton-mcp https://github.com/ahujasid/ableton-mcp But the MCP server isn’t the interesting part. It’s the round trip of composition and mixing. “Set up a calypso beat and baseline; add distortion to the bass; set up filters to protect the kick from the bass”

        > It’s the round trip of composition and mixing. That's a very personal thing. A lot of musicians are extremely, extremely resistant to using LLMs to assist with composition. Obviously, too, some are not.

          For sure. I'm just making a circular saw because I see value. If someone else wants to stick to hand tools, no complaints. Note that "assist with composition" covers a lot of ground. There's Suno, and there's "let's experiment with chords changes to get from F Phrygian to C major"
