How it works: Media Hub
-
Hear something? Click Spark Plug — or press ⇧⌘IShift-Command-I. The button is at the top of every screen. One click starts recording, with nothing to fill in.
-
It's recording. Keep working. Go to any section. A small recorder shows the time and your input level.
-
Stop, and it's saved. Stop & Save stores it right away as a 24-bit WAV, named with the date and time.
-
Find it in Media Hub → Ideas. Play it, rename it, add a note, or link it to a Producer's Pad song.
-
Drag it straight into your DAW. Grab the handle and drop the WAV onto a track, or into Finder.
More Tools Inside
Royalties, press kits, pitch emails, pre‑save countdowns and songwriting helpers
Royalty & Distributor Report Imports
Import the CSV statements from your PRO (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and others) and the sales reports from DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, RouteNote, LANDR, Ditto, Amuse or ONErpm, then see your earnings by song and country.
How it works: Royalty & Distributor Report ImportsPress Kit (EPK)
Put together an electronic press kit from the bio, press release, photos and links you already keep in MusicLaunch, and save your one-sheet as a PDF or Word file. There's no one-click kit: you choose the pieces.
How it works: Press Kit (EPK)Pitch Email Templates
11 starter pitch emails to read, copy or adapt, plus templates of your own, sent through Gmail with follow-ups you schedule.
How it works: Pitch Email TemplatesPlaylist Pitch Tracker
A log of your playlist pitches with statuses you set yourself, linked to Contacts and the Calendar. It's a manual log: it doesn't detect playlist adds.
How it works: Playlist Pitch TrackerSmart Links With a Release-Day Countdown
A one-page fan page for a release, with a button for each place to listen or buy. Quick Pre-Save adds a countdown to release day around your distributor's pre-save link (MusicLaunch doesn't do the pre-save itself). You export the page as HTML and host it yourself.
How it works: Smart Links With a Release-Day CountdownChord Finder, BPM Delay Calculator & Metronome
In Artist Retreat's Songwriting Tools: a Chord Finder that names the chord you play on the on-screen piano, guitar or a MIDI keyboard, delay and reverb times in milliseconds for any tempo, and a metronome with tap tempo and swing.

Straight answers to the questions people ask first
- What does it run on?
- macOS 12 (Monterey) or later, Apple Silicon or Intel, with at least 4 GB of RAM and 1 GB of free disk space. Windows is not available yet (a Windows version is in the works, with no date), and there is no iPhone, iPad, Android or web version.
- Is it a music distributor?
- It is not a music distributor. It does not deliver releases to Spotify, Apple Music or other stores.
- Does it host a link-in-bio page?
- Smart links are exported as an HTML page for the user to host; MusicLaunch does not put the page online.
- Can several people share it?
- It is a single-user app. There are no shared workspaces, team logins or real-time collaboration.
- Is there a free trial?
- There is no free trial. A license key is needed to use the app. The 30-day money-back guarantee covers the app purchase only.
- Does it work offline?
- Most features work offline; posting, team requests, platform numbers and license checks need an internet connection.
- Is the team required?
- The team is included for the first 30 days after activation. After that, every section of the app still works without a subscription, but the team and its generators need a plan.
- Can the team search the web?
- The team's AI assistants work from the user's own MusicLaunch data and their built-in knowledge of the music business, and do not search the web or look up live information. They never write or shape the music.
