Saccato AI
Music production is overwhelming and expensive. It’s so difficult that only 9% of music creators use digital audio workstations (i.e. music software like GarageBand, Ableton, or Logic Pro). Non-DIY artists pay upwards of $300/hour for good music producers. Staccato is an AI music generator that makes it easy for musicians and content creators to produce studio-quality music. Unlike other AI music tools that produce only completed songs, Staccato gives full control during each step of the music-making process. Think of it as Canva meets ChatGPT, but for music.
