Swound

What Swound is

Swound is a web service for music creators that combines cloud storage, collaboration, and AI tools. It supports projects from Ableton Live, FL Studio, Logic Pro, and GarageBand, along with their samples, stems, and MIDI files. Users can sync, organize, share, and back up projects, track changes, restore earlier versions, and work with collaborators through feedback and private chat. Swound says it automatically tags samples and MIDI files for search and lets users inspect the plugins, VSTs, and samples used in a project. Its tools can split audio into up to six tracks, convert audio into downloadable multitrack MIDI files, and assist with songwriting concepts, lyrics, structure, hooks, and creative direction. Creators can sell projects, remakes, templates, tutorials, samples, and MIDI packs in its marketplace. Swound charges a 10% platform fee plus Stripe processing fees; sellers need a Stripe account in a supported country for payouts. The Free plan costs nothing for an unlimited time, requires no credit card, and allows up to three projects. Hobby costs $7.99 a month and includes 50GB cloud storage and 100 monthly credits. Swound advertises 24/7 support through its contact page.
