Everything around your Ableton Live projects, in one place

MAKID sits next to Live and keeps track of the stuff Live doesn't: which version is the good one, what you said about it, and where you left off.

Your whole library, sorted

Point MAKID at your project folders and it pulls in every Ableton Live set with its tempo, key and bounces. Search, tag, rate, and open any of them in Live in one click.

Bounces find their projects

Export wherever you want. MAKID matches the bounces in your export folders to the right projects and asks you about anything it isn't sure of.

See inside a set without Live

Browse arrangement and session view, tracks, clips and devices, and hear a preview of sets that don't have a bounce yet.

Feedback at the exact second

Timestamped comments on every bounce, and project notes with feedback checklists, bounces and sessions built in.

Jam with forgotten ideas

Split old bounces into drums, bass, vocals and everything else, then flip what you hear into a fresh Ableton Live set.

Your bounces in your pocket

Your 10 latest bounces on your iPhone for free. No card needed.

Session Workspace

Look inside a set without opening Live

  • Arrangement and session view, with your locators.
  • Every track, clip and device chain, from Serum to Glue Compressor.

Notes & feedback

Feedback that points at the exact second

Stop losing notes in your phone's notes app. Keep them next to the project they're about.

  • Leave comments at a timestamp while a bounce plays.
  • Type / in project notes to drop in timestamps, bounces, sessions and feedback checklists.
  • Notes sync with MAKID on your iPhone, so ideas from the car land in the studio.

JamNew

Your vault is full of ideas. Jam with them.

Jam pulls up bounces from your library, especially the ones you forgot about, and splits them into parts you can mess with.

  • Drums, bass, vocals and everything else, split for you.
  • Solo or mute parts, tweak pitch, speed and filter, and loop any section.
  • Swap in a part from another one of your songs that matches the tempo and key.
  • Hit Riff to turn what you're hearing into a new Ableton Live set. Your original project is never touched.

Privacy & ownership

Your music. Your control.

Does MAKID use my music to train AI?

No. We don’t use your music or project files to train AI models. Your Ableton project files stay on your computer. Audio bounces are uploaded only with your approval, when you approve a share or turn on phone sync, as explained below.

Does MAKID upload my music?

Your Ableton project files stay on your computer. Uploads happen only with your approval: sharing uploads the audio bounce you approve so your recipient can listen. Phone sync stays off until you turn it on: the free plan syncs your 10 latest bounces, and MAKID Pro syncs your whole library. Turning it on authorizes automatic uploads of audio bounces and project information so you can access them on your phone. These uploads support playback and sharing, not AI training.

Why is MAKID free?

MAKID’s core desktop project-management features have been free since we started in 2023, and your 10 latest bounces on your phone are free too. MAKID Pro is how we pay for the rest: your whole library on your phone, offline listening, and two-way notes sync. Organizing your projects on your computer doesn’t require a paid subscription, and never has.
