The music player built for media composers
Bounce your versions into one folder, play them in order with the waveform on screen, compare them at the same loudness, and drag the right one into your DAW – from the first sketch to the final mix.
Play every bounce in order, without making a playlist
Bounce your versions into one folder and add it to ARADAR. Sort the list by name or by date added, press play, and ARADAR plays every file from first to last. If ARADAR watches the folder, each new bounce shows up when you open the app or press Find new (⇧⌘R).
Keep your short tracks in the library
ARADAR skips files under 60 seconds by default. Change it to 30 seconds or Off in Settings → General, and your 15-second edits come in too. Use the Duration filter to see only tracks under 1:00, 1:00–3:00, and so on.
Compare versions at the same loudness
Turn on Match loudness on playback in Settings → Playback, and ARADAR turns louder files down to your target (−14 LUFS by default). You hear the difference in the mix, not in the volume. ARADAR never changes your files.
Check mono, phone, and single bands while you play
Scrub the waveform, loop a section, solo a band, or switch to mono, side, or phone from the player bar. When a version is right, drag the file into your DAW.
Questions composers ask first
How do I play all my cue versions in order?
Bounce them into one folder and add it to ARADAR. Sort by name or date added and press play – ARADAR plays the whole list, no playlist needed.
Can ARADAR import tracks shorter than a minute?
Yes. ARADAR skips files under 60 seconds by default. Change it to 30 seconds or Off in Settings → General.
