M10 · Audio Production

Tools for music and audio production: measuring, cleaning and organising sound, and preparing recording sessions for any DAW.

Benefits: Professional measurements and processing that never overwrite the original file. The Session Co-Pilot only reads the originals: every result is a new file.

Example of use: Measure the loudness of a master and compare it with a reference track.

Key capabilities

• Loudness and true-peak measurement
• Processing chain for audio files
• BPM detection and stem classification
• Stem separation, vocal tuning and time-stretch
• Transcription and reminders
• Universal Session Co-Pilot: analysis and preparation of audio and MIDI sessions for any DAW
• Audio Pre-Processor: quality control, phase between microphones, readiness score
• MIDI analysis, cleaning, quantisation and humanisation (always on copies)
• Universal Resource Discovery: audio environment and digital libraries (MIDI, samples, presets, instruments) on every drive

Audio Production add-on (contract dcos_audio 1.2.0, 25 capabilities): transcription and reminders, loudness measurement to ITU-R BS.1770-4 / EBU Tech 3342 with true-peak, an offline DSP chain, non-destructive audio intelligence (stem classification, BPM, gain staging, cataloguing) and real procedural generation, stem separation (HPSS + centre), vocal tuning (pyin + pitch shift) and time-stretch (phase vocoder); neural back-ends are used automatically only if installed. Since the MASTER build of 2026-11-13 it includes the Universal Session Co-Pilot & Audio Pre-Processor 1.0.0 (7 of the 25 capabilities: copilot_analizza_sessione, copilot_prepara_sessione, midi_analizza, midi_elabora, copilot_stato, copilot_ambiente, copilot_libreria): automatic session detection with an Inbox watcher and a queue, track role recognition and standard names on copies, audio quality analysis, phase and alignment between microphones, acoustic fingerprints and duplicates, session quality control with a readiness score, a session workspace with a SHA-256 manifest, a MIDI engine (SMF 0/1/2 analysis, cleaning, quantisation, swing, humanisation on copies), recognition of the audio environment (DAWs, audio devices, ASIO, plug-in folders, DAW projects) and Universal Resource Discovery of digital libraries (MIDI, samples, loops, impulse responses, presets, soundbanks, instruments, plug-ins) on every drive. It reuses the existing M10 engines and works with any DAW through standard files. The status register marks the module PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED because several planned parts are missing.

Prerequisites

Licence audio_intel. Optional neural packages for advanced generation. Licences already issued that include audio_intel also enable the Session Co-Pilot, without being regenerated.

Declared limits

Sample library, songwriting assistant, MIDI composition, advanced pitch/harmony analysis, vocoder and a complete M10 panel are planned. Neural audio generation with non-commercial weights is excluded. The Session Co-Pilot works through standard files (WAV/BWF/AIFF, SMF) and has no native integration with a specific DAW; role and content recognition is heuristic. In the executable, the installed workflow (Inbox watcher, queue, session workspace) is not available: the analysis, MIDI, reference, separation, environment and library commands are.

Planned (roadmap)

• Sample library (M10.5)
• Songwriting assistant (M10.3)
• Symbolic MIDI composition (M10.1)
• Pitch, intonation and harmony analysis (M10.8, M10.9)
• Vocoder (M10.10)
• Dedicated stem separation (M10.2)
• Complete M10 panel

Blocked by decision

• Neural audio generation: MusicGen weights under CC-BY-NC are excluded
