For music professionals

Who ARADAR is for

ARADARis a macOS reference library specifically designed for music producers, mixing & mastering engineers, and audio professionals. It is built to manage the reference music you collect, study, and submit to. It is not a digital audio workstation (DAW), a DJ tool, or a sample browser.

ARADAR is for music professionals who want to seamlessly integrate four core workflows:

  • Production referencing. Filter your library to find the exact sound or technical baseline you are chasing. Once found, drag that track directly into your DAW, such as Ableton, Logic, or Pro Tools, to A/B test against your current project.
  • Label profiling. Profile labels based on the loudness and frequency signatures of their existing catalogs. This lets you measure a finished track’s profile against a median standard or find compatible labels for submission.
  • Submission management. Track submissions and label responses through a dedicated pipeline, so nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Library organization. Import tracks directly from your disk. From there, tag, rate, and organize your audio into custom playlists for specific clients, sessions, or utility functions.
