Alternative R&B hook, open for vocals and guitar.
More than tools
Make Humminbird feel like a scene people want to belong to.
The product language now leans into drops, crates, sessions, flips, and artist energy — the app should feel premium, alive, and music-first while staying clear for first-time creators.
The Crate
Saved sounds feel like a producer’s crate: hooks, loops, references, and ideas ready to flip in Studio.
Session Energy
Studio copy and controls speak like a creative room: overdub, punch in, flip, arrange, bounce, publish.
Artist fan clubs
Artist Pass lets fans get closer to the music.
Artists set their own price and choose what fans unlock: early music videos, fan-only videos, unreleased demos, private drops, behind-the-scenes studio clips, supporter badges, and subscriber-only updates.
Artist-set pricing
No fixed tiers. Every artist decides what their Artist Pass is worth and what supporters receive.
Fan-only releases
Publish public posts, followers-only updates, subscribers-only videos, or early access that unlocks for everyone later.
Music-first fandom
Artist Pass is for demos, music videos, studio clips, stems, loops, listening parties, and fan conversations — not adult content.
Beat marketplace
Humminbird Exchange sells beats the familiar way, then adds demand signals.
Producers can list leases, exclusives, stems, hooks, loops, and full arrangements. Buyers can buy, bid, watch, message, request stems, or open a preview in Studio. Humminbird adds genre heat, watchlist interest, offer activity, and suggested license value.
Live bookings
Book a local DJ, performer, or music act without leaving Humminbird.
Humminbird Live is the marketplace layer for real-world music moments: parties, clubs, weddings, release events, listening parties, pop-ups, studio sessions, and private shows. Hosts request a gig, pay an advance, confirm completion, and the artist receives the remainder after Humminbird’s fee.
Everything starts as a sound.
Studio
Record, import, arrange, trim, move clips, overdub vocals, make drums, play MIDI instruments, use metronome/count-in, and export sessions from the app.
Discover
Discover posts play as 30-second previews. Use a sound to jump into Studio, follow the artist, save it, comment, or share it.
Collaborate
Invite Humminbird users, credit collaborators, publish with rights declarations, and keep the creative history attached to the sound.
External instruments
Connect class-compliant audio interfaces, microphones, guitars, synths, MIDI keyboards, and Bluetooth MIDI controllers to create on iPhone or iPad.
Rights-aware sharing
Uploads include rights declarations, fingerprints, reporting, and moderation workflows so the community can grow responsibly.
Web account
Sign in on the website with email, Google, Apple, or Facebook to like, comment, save sounds, follow artists, and view account status.
App preview

Studio, Discover, timeline editing, and membership screens are shown directly from the app screenshots so visitors understand what they are downloading.
How Humminbird works
From voice memo to release-ready idea.
Humminbird is built around the way music actually happens: a loop, a hook, a voice note, a collaborator, a revision, then a post people can react to.
Capture
Record vocals, import audio or video, plug in an instrument, add drums, or play MIDI. Humminbird detects BPM and helps match the metronome.
Build
Move clips on the timeline, label tracks, trim with waveform handles, overdub to new tracks, use count-in, and keep the arrangement understandable.
Collaborate
Invite creators, credit contributors, share sessions, follow artists, and keep ownership context attached to the work.
Publish
Share a 30-second Discover preview, attach video or artwork, collect comments, and send listeners back to your artist page.
Feature spotlight
Beginner-friendly when you open it. Deep enough when the song gets serious.
Humminbird gives new creators one big path — record, import, add a track, play, publish — while keeping the pro tools close when producers need them.
For producers
Make beats, arrange songs, and keep the session moving.
Humminbird is designed to feel approachable on day one, then open up as the creator needs more control.
- Automatic BPM detection on imported audio with manual override.
- Metronome, count-in, rewind, fast-forward, and play/pause transport.
- Per-track labels, mixer access, pan/volume controls, and session export.
- MIDI instruments, drum pads, octave controls, automation, AUv3, and DJ Mode.
Discover in two modes.
Song Byte View is for threaded music posts. Cover View is for full-screen swiping. Room View is the clean performance format inspired by one-color studio sessions. Live database sounds show when available, web playback appears when a public audio URL exists, and creation still hands off to Studio in the app.

Song posts when you want context. Vertical swipes when you want momentum.
Humminbird’s website should feel like the public front door to the app: song conversations, creator profiles, previews that play when possible, and one obvious path back into Studio.
Midnight Flight — chose the hook for the public 30-second preview. Looking for guitar or a second verse.
