Produce anywhere. Sample everything. Perform on stage without a laptop. Dawcade is a complete music studio for handhelds, phones and tablets — on Android and iOS.
Pick a style and a mood, and in seconds a band is playing your song — drums, bass, keys, guitar and melody, on sounds you chose. Or start with a single note and build every part yourself. Either way, you end up with a finished track you can mix, master and share.
Most AI music tools hand you a finished file you can't open. Dawcade works the other way: its AI writes real notes on real instruments inside your song. Keep the drums, ask for a new bass line, rewrite the chorus, play a solo over the top — every part stays yours to change, one at a time.
Keys, chord pads, strum plates, drum pads and more than twenty playful surfaces turn the screen into an instrument. Session players — a drummer, a bassist, a pianist and more — play along with you, and a single finger steers how they play. Sample any sound around you and turn it into a kit.
Loading the cartridge collection…
Some cartridges are games. Load Chord Racer or NoteBreaker and your own song becomes the level; surfaces like Flipper, Fruit Machine and Shepard Tower turn every move into a note on the beat. Play, practise and write music at the same time.
Record your best take, fix the timing, bring the mix to life and give it a final polish. When it is done, export a finished, mastered track — or every instrument on its own and all your notes as MIDI, ready for another studio or for sharing.
Pull the vocals out of a song, clean up a noisy recording, take the room echo away, turn a hummed melody into notes and find the tempo of anything — offline, right on your device, with nothing uploaded. Stuck? Ask the built-in assistant, by voice or by text; it can even write chords and parts for you.
Your own band, ready when you are. Choose a style and a mood and the Band plays a whole song — drums, bass, keys, guitar and lead — on the sounds you picked. Love the groove but not the bass? Ask for a new bass line and keep everything else. Make the chorus bigger, jam through the sections live while the Band follows you, and watch your players perform on stage.
Dawcade was built for two screens. Keep your song, the mixer and an effect on top while the lower screen becomes keys, pads or the Band — play and shape the music at the same time. Fold a foldable into a tiny laptop, and on iPad and large tablets open several windows side by side, resize them and build your own workspace.
Beatbox into the mic and Dawcade plays it back as a drum kit. Teach the pads the sounds around you — a knock on the table, a clap, your keys — and play them like drums. Sing, and dress your voice with choirs and effects.
Plug in a MIDI keyboard over USB or Bluetooth, connect an audio interface for clean, high-quality recording, or play with the buttons of your handheld and a game controller.
Not sure where to start? Short guided missions walk you through your first beat and your first song, and tips show up right where you need them.
Android 12 or newer — handhelds, phones, foldables and tablets — and iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or newer, including iPhone Duo. Dual-screen handhelds like the AYN Thor use both screens.
No. Instruments, effects and the AI tools all run on your device, so you can make music anywhere. The assistant downloads its model once, the first time you use it.
No. You pay once and everything is yours — no subscription, no account, no ads.
Yes. Export finished songs as WAV, every instrument separately as stems, and your notes as MIDI files.
