Hands-free studio control
Stop running back to the keyboard
DAW Buddy listens for your wake word and drives your DAW for you. Say “Hey DAW Buddy, press record” from the mic and the take starts rolling. Or tap it from your phone. No more killing takes to walk across the room.

What DAW Buddy is
A voice and phone controller for the DAW you already use. It turns spoken commands into standard MIDI messages your DAW already understands, so recording alone stops being a two-person job.
01
Wake word, then command
Nothing fires until you say your wake word — "Hey DAW Buddy". Then just talk: press record, stop, back to start, next track, set tempo.
02
Phone remote
Pair your phone with a code and tap transport, arm, mute, solo and tempo from the booth. Your laptop stays where it is.
03
Works with your DAW
Logic Pro, FL Studio, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Reaper, Studio One, Cubase, Bitwig and Samplitude — with guided, step-by-step setup for each.
04
Real MIDI, no plugins
DAW Buddy speaks standard MIDI over a virtual port. No installers on your session drive, nothing rewriting your projects.
Say it, and it happens
A few of the commands built in. Every one is also a button on the phone remote.
- press record
- stop
- play
- back to start
- rewind
- fast forward
- next track
- arm track
- mute
- solo
- undo
- set tempo
