The Studio manual has been reworked with a clearer structure and updated content. Navigation has been simplified so core concepts, devices and workflows are easier to find while working in the Studio.
Learn Section In The HUB
A new Learn section has been added to the HUB to help users understand the core Studio workflow. It provides structured entry points for learning the environment and basic production concepts directly inside the platform.
MIDI Import
MIDI files can now be imported directly as note regions. Drop a MIDI file onto the timeline to create a region instantly, or use the context menu on a notes player device track. This makes it easier to bring sketches from other tools into the Studio and start arranging without manual transcription.
Curated Apps In The HUB
The HUB now includes a Curated Apps section that surfaces a selected set of Nexus apps. These apps are built with the Audiotool SDK and run directly inside multiplayer DAW sessions. Developers can create browser based music tools that integrate with the Studio.

With the next update, the remaining projects from the old Audiotool platform will be synced to the beta environment. This means that the last batch of legacy tracks will soon be available directly in beta where they can be opened and edited just like any other project.
The update is currently planned for next Monday, March 23.
As part of this process, projects that exist only in beta will be removed. If you have beta-only projects, please make sure to export and download your WAV files beforehand so you don’t lose your work.
If you’d like, you can also publish your WAV exports on Audiotool so we can add them to the album NEW STUDIO JAMS
By then, the 303 Contest entries will have already been exported and archived by us.
In the meantime, feel free to continue exploring and creating in the new Studio:
