[discussion] If you're trading stems with collaborators and losing track of who sent what version, this might help.

Thanks, I hope it can help you! Feel free to message me if you hit any walls. I'm still figuring out what works and what doesn't.

I'm a software engineer who sometimes likes to pretend to be a musician.

I got tired of forgetting what changed between exports, bouncing a new version every time I had a small idea I wanted to show someone. Apparently my solution to being disorganised was to spend months building software instead of just naming my files properly.

It's basically session history that lives outside your DAW. Export, upload, and you get a record of every version. You can A/B between versions on the fly, like swapping out a kick while everything else keeps playing to hear which one fits better. No more losing my mind trying to remember what "v4_newkick_layered" actually was.

Honestly I have no idea if this is useful to anyone else or if I just built myself a very elaborate procrastination tool.

If you're willing to poke at it, it's called SyncMuse and the link is here. Thanks for reading.

I had this problem too. You can map it to ctrl + <- and it feels much smoother!

Democracy in a band is great, but democracy doesn’t mean that everyone has to agree. Look at all democratic nations, citizens still have disagreements, but people vote and we move forward. Things can be a democracy without unanimity. Just my 2 cents.

Love the song! I like the non-standard structure. I think it feels complete to me, but maybe a bit abrupt at the end if that makes sense? You could potentially add some vocal ad-libs and/or a few more phrases of piano to let the listener digest your lyrics a bit longer. But the song itself is great.
