Online DAW
Full DAWs are built for mixing records, and that power gets in the way when all you have is a hum and a chord change. LandChords is a simple browser DAW for the part that comes first: lay down chords, program a beat, record multi-track vocals, and walk away with a demo — in one tab, with nothing to install.

The Vocal Studio records straight from your microphone and stacks lead, harmony, and ad-lib layers on a timeline. Mute or solo tracks, trim and arrange clips, and bake everything down to a single stem — the core moves of a DAW, scoped to what a songwriter actually needs.
A 16-step drum machine locks to your tempo, and 15 sampled instruments play your chord progression back. Bake chords and drums into a backing track, loop a section, and sing over it — no plugins, no sample packs, no routing.
The hard part of writing is keeping momentum, and every minute spent on buffer settings or plugin chains is a minute the idea has to escape. Because the DAW lives in the same tab as your chords and lyrics, the loop from idea to recorded take is seconds, not a session setup.
When a demo deserves a real production pass, export the stem to WAV (Pro) and take it into the big DAW — LandChords is the start of that pipeline, not a replacement for the end of it.
Is LandChords a free online DAW?
The free plan includes the full writing workflow: the chord maker, drum machine, a 2-track vocal studio, and cloud save, with no credit card. Pro raises it to 8 tracks, adds 500 MB of storage, and unlocks WAV export.
How is this different from BandLab or Soundtrap?
Those are full browser DAWs built around production: mixing, effects, MIDI editing. LandChords is built around writing — chords, lyrics, and vocal takes live in one document, so sketching a song is faster, but you would still finish a record in a full DAW.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Everything — recording, playback, drums, even WAV export — runs in your browser on desktop and mobile. Grant microphone access and you are recording.
