Frequently asked questions.

Logic Pro on macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. Apple Silicon Macs only (M1, M2, M3, M4). Intel Macs are not supported. Other DAWs may come later.

Every request you send runs a real AI model on Anthropic's servers, and that has a real per-request cost. A flat one-time fee would mean light users subsidize power users heavily, and power users would burn through far more compute than they paid for. A subscription matches what you actually use the tool for. It also lets us keep shipping improvements (better models, new tools, new diagnostics) without charging for upgrades. Unlike most plugins, Studio Buddy gets smarter the more we update it.

No raw audio leaves your machine. The plugin runs on your master bus and computes audio analysis locally (loudness, spectrum, stereo width, dynamics). Only those summary numbers (never the audio itself) get sent to the agent so it can make decisions. No audio streams, no uploads, no cloud rendering.

No. Studio Buddy is an assistant, not a replacement for the producer. It diagnoses problems you describe ("this guitar sounds boomy"), proposes targeted fixes, and executes them. The creative decisions stay with you: arrangement, song, vibe. Nothing happens automatically. You authorize each move.

All of them: every plugin in your Logic Pro library, stock and third-party.

Basic ($15/mo) is what most producers need. Pro ($30/mo) is for heavy users: same agent, with 2.5x more AI usage included, priority support, and early access to new features.

Yes. Cancel from your dashboard. Access continues through the end of your billing period, then stops. No reactivation fees if you come back later.
