I built a simple tool for people who hate DAWs (would love feedback)

Im a sound engineer but I wanted something faster for my own workflow, especially when working with stems from hardware setups / SD recordings.

So I ended up building a simple app that:
takes stems or add a song and you will have automacally 4 stems on the mixing section

you can even upoload a video format and automacally extract the audio for processing,
auto mixes (EQ, comp, limiter, imaging)
lets you quickly tweak or add FX

exports ready WAV in minutes

You can also load a full track and split it into stems and work backwards.

(especially from people who hate complicated setups 😄

Its NOT meant to replace DAWs more like a fast workflow tool.

Built a mixing & mastering app with AI tools (no traditional dev background) — curious how people here see this space evolving

Hey everyone,

I have been following this space for a while and thought I’d share something I’ve been building and get some honest feedback.

I’m a sound engineer, not a traditional developer.
I started building a desktop app to solve a very specific problem in my own workflow:

I record music dawless (hardware gear, Tascam, etc.)
End up with stems or full tracks on an SD card
Needed a fast way to go from raw audio → mix → master, without opening a full DAW every time

So I built a tool that:Lets you load stems and mix them quickly (EQ / comp / FX etc.)Has a simple mastering section to finalize the trackAnd recently I added automatic stem separation drop a full track get drums / bass / vocals / other start mixing immediately even from video format separate the audio in 4 stems

The core idea, workflow, and audio decisions are mine, but the way I got there was definitely accelerated by AI.

So Im curious how people here see this:Do you consider this “no-code”, “vibe coding”, or just a different way of building?Do tools like this actually have a place, or will DAWs / plugins / AI agents absorb everything?Is there still value in focused tools built around a specific workflow, vs all-in-one platforms?

Not trying to sell anything here — genuinely interested in how others building (or thinking about building) see this shift.

If anyone wants to try it and give feedback, happy to share a build

I built a simple app for mixing & mastering (with built-in stem separation)

I have been working on a project called ZEG Audio Engine AI it started as a personal tool for my own workflow (I make music with hardware / dawless setups), and it slowly turned into something more structured.

The idea is pretty simple

Import stems mix quickly

Or just drop a full track split it into stems (drums, bass, vocals, other)

Then go straight into mixing and mastering in one place

Some things it currently does:

24-track mixing layout (each track with EQ / Comp / Imaging / Limiter)

Built-in FX per track (delay, reverb, chorus, etc)

Oneclick stem separation

Mastering section with reference track matching

A/B compare and basic loudness handling

I’m trying to keep it fast and easy, especially for people who don’t want to spend hours setting things up.

Its still early and a bit rough in places (UI + some bugs), but I’m actively improving it based on feedback.

I really appreciate:

honest feedback (UI / workflow / usability)

what feels confusing or unnecessary

what would make it more useful for you
