IN DAW

chat with friends, connect with producers, transfer project files, collab, co-pilot, or join a session, get instant production help, give and get track feedback, work with and find clients, teach or join a class, browse and share sample packs, and go live with your session, all in your DAW.

FOR PRODUCERS

CHAT with friends IN DAW

Talk to producer friends right inside your DAW. Send direct messages, have voice chats, share audio, or just hang, all without leaving your session.

Open a VIRTUAL STUDIO

Run a session, host a listening party, lead a songwriting camp, teach a class, or promote services and find new clients.

DISCOVER AND CONNECT with new producers

Meet new and similar producers to network, share, and collab with. Public badges make it easy to find producers who work in your own DAW, who are verified artists at specific streaming tiers, and who are gaining popularity online.

TEST OUT new material among your PEERS

Enter virtual venues where you can play new or unreleased material, or spin a set to get rated and recognized by fellow producers in real time, and earn decibels when the crowd shows you love.

-FAQ-

what is dawdle?

dawdle is the first social VST: a plugin you drop on a track in your DAW that opens a whole social layer right inside your session. meet producers, chat, share music, open a virtual studio, and test tracks in venues, all without leaving your project.

a social network in my daw?

yep. dawdle is a plugin you load on a track, and it opens a social space right inside your session. no second app, no reaching for your phone. the scene lives where you already work.

will it mess with my audio or slow down my session?

no. dawdle is a social layer, not an effect. it leaves your sound alone and stays out of your signal chain.

how is this different from discord, zoom, etc?

it all happens right inside your DAW, not a separate app you have to alt-tab to. that makes routing your audio in simple, and instead of joining group chats you already know, dawdle helps you discover and connect with new producers who work like you do.

why is it invite only?

a small door keeps the room good. every dawdler holds one invite code, and a fresh one shows up in your hub once someone joins with yours. want in? ask a producer who's already here.

i'm not a popular artist. is dawdle for me?

absolutely. dawdle is for producers at every level, from first beat to platinum plaque. connect Spotify or SoundCloud if you want a verified badge, but you don't need clout to belong.

what daws does it work in?

all the big ones: Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, Reaper, and more. drop it on a track and it loads.

is dawdle free?

yes. dawdle is free to download and free to use right now. some heavier extras may become paid upgrades down the road, but joining, hanging, and the whole social core are free today.

yes. dawdle has virtual studios where you can collab with another producer you know, or search and find an open studio to pull up to and check out.
