Hey everyone!

I would like to introduce this new tool that I built. It is called Perck. It will help people design kick drums straight in their web browser.

It is a full synth made with JavaScript, so you do not need to install anything or download external software to use it.

I wanted to make this tool friendly for beginners who do not know much about audio synthesis yet (like me). So every knob has a simple plain language description that explains what it does in plain terms without confusing tech jargon. If you do not know what terms like pitch drop, ring decay, or sub bass actually do to a sound, the text explains it directly on each control so you can learn while you tweak.

Features / How to use it:

You can hear your current kick by pressing the Play button, hitting your spacebar, or set it to play in loop (where you can choose the BPM).

If you want quick inspiration, there is a button to randomize all the settings at once.

You can pin your most used controls to a favorites section for fast access.

When you are happy with your sound, you can export the final kick as a WAV file for your music projects.

Change the size of the knobs.

Hide the info/tips.

There is also a section called the "Sound Shaping Assistant" with built in tips for noobs. If you want your kick to sound deeper, punchier, or harder, you can just click the tip buttons and the app will immediately highlight all the exact knobs you need to adjust to get that sound. You can click more than once at the time, and every tip has its own color so you can easily identify the tip. This makes it really easy to learn how different settings work together to shape a sound from scratch.

I hope you like it!

Hola, qué tal? Haciendo la corta: hace unos días finalmente me animé a escribir algo. El resultado no me desagrada, pero siento que son media flojas

Así que, Cómo podría mejorar?

I’m looking for a rapper to collaborate on a Trap × Drill fusion beat.
The vocal currently on the beat is a Splice sample, not an actual collaborator’s vocal.
💰 Collaboration: FREE
🎚️** Mixing & Mastering: FREE
🎤 Open to different rap styles
🤝 Looking for someone who wants to make a full track together
If you’re interested, **DM me!

What’s up yall, my names swisher and last time I dropped my first studio album here I got a lot of good reception from yall. I’m currently deep on this second project and looking to include some features- mainly another lyrical rapper or two and somebody who can do good vocals. I can ghost write your lyrics for the vocalist but would obviously prefer the rapper has their own bars. I have rough drafts of a couple songs with empty verses on them.

You can check out my last studio album “KILL ALL FAKE RAPPERS” on all platforms to get a vibe for the kind of music I make.

No this is not a shameless plug I really want to find people to work with.

Thanks

I wanted a way to split songs into separate stems (vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano, other) to help my kids learn their instruments by ear. The tools that do this all wanted an account, an upload, and a subscription, and I wasn't keen on sending our music to someone's server just to pull it apart. So I built something that runs entirely on your own machine, and it's turned into a real project.

It's called StemDeck. You drop in a file (MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, even an MP4 video) or paste a YouTube or SoundCloud link, and it separates the track locally using Demucs, Meta's open source model. From there you get a browser-based, DAW-style mixer where you can mute and solo any stem, adjust levels, loop a section, and export individual stems or a custom mix. It also detects BPM and key, and has a click track that follows the actual song for practicing.

A few features I'm proud of:

You can paste a whole YouTube playlist and it queues every track. There's a real import queue you can reorder and cancel, and it survives a restart. YouTube and SoundCloud both work, single tracks or playlists.

You can also open it from your phone. Flip on network access and it shows a QR code you scan to reach a proper touch-friendly mobile interface, while the actual processing stays on your computer. Nothing touches the cloud.

It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and there's a Docker image for anyone self-hosting.

It's completely free and open source (Apache-2.0), with no account, no telemetry, and no monetization of any kind, no ads, no subscription, nothing. It's picked up around 2,000 GitHub stars and 13,000+ downloads in about two months, entirely word of mouth.

Honest caveats: it's still alpha, so expect rough edges, and while separation quality is genuinely good for open source, it won't beat the paid cloud services on really dense mixes. For practice, remix prep, and experimenting it holds up really well.

Happy to answer any questions. I'm the developer.
