Second Chair
Studio environment

In the room
with you.

Second Chair sits on your master chain and gives you honest production feedback without leaving your DAW.

The silence where feedback should be

Music production can be one of the most solitary creative acts there is.

You're in your own head, in your own room, making decisions in a vacuum. That silence where a second opinion should be, that's where doubt lives, and where good music gets talked out of itself.

“Every producer deserves someone in the room.”

Second Chair fills that silence. Not by taking over, by helping you hear what you've already made with fresh ears. Patient with beginners. Honest with the experienced. Always on the side of the music.

Feedback without friction.

01

Load it on your master chain

Second Chair runs as an AU in Logic Pro or VST3 in Ableton Live. Drop it on the master bus and leave it there.

02

Arm a capture

Play the section you want feedback on and hit ARM. Let it run for 30 to 90 seconds: a verse, a chorus, a key transition.

03

Get your feedback

Hit ANALYSE. Second Chair returns structured feedback: levels, stereo width, frequency balance, dynamics, arrangement. Ask follow-up questions without re-uploading.

Not a generator.
A collaborator.

Second Chair does not compose, create, or produce music on your behalf. It is assistive AI: present in your workflow, responsive to your creative decisions, designed entirely to support and amplify the music you're already making.

The music is entirely yours. Always.

Built around the music.

01

Human-led creativity

Every decision belongs to the producer. Second Chair responds, reacts, and reflects. It never initiates or imposes. The music is yours. The vision is yours.

02

Intelligent listening

Second Chair understands context: genre, mood, structure, intent. It hears what you're trying to say and helps you say it with more conviction.

03

Craft over content

Second Chair is not a content generator. It's a craft enhancer, the way a great collaborator works across a long studio session.

04

Accessible mastery

Whether you're placing your first kick drum or mixing your hundredth EP, Second Chair meets you where you are. Every producer at every level deserves a great ear in the room.

Where it runs

In your DAW.
In your workflow.

Second Chair is built for Apple Silicon. Load it as an AU in Logic Pro, a VST3 in Ableton Live, or run the standalone app.
