Make music.
Own the masters.
Forever.
Open-source model. Local inference. Native macOS. Studio runs ACE-Step on Apple Silicon, MLX-accelerated, on your hardware. The output file lives on your disk. The rights aren't granted by a TOS that can change tomorrow — they're a property of how the software runs on your machine.Four integrated apps. ACE-Step 1.5 + MLX. The reference desktop product for the open-source music model.
On Suno, your hit isn't yours.
On Studio, it is.
Studio is not a friendlier policy on top of someone else's cloud. It runs an open-source model on your hardware. The file lives on your disk. The rights are structurally yours — not granted at the platform's discretion, not subject to a TOS that can change tomorrow.

This isn't a policy. It's a property of how the software works. There is no server we could revoke access to. No license we could change tomorrow. You make it. You own it.
Studio is a platform. Not a single app.
Four integrated macOS apps sharing one auth, one licensing layer, one audio pipeline. No cloud. No API bills. No rate limits. Built for the machine in front of you.
ACE-Step 1.5 generation with MLX-accelerated inference. Chat with Majik — the AI producer agent — and the song appears, structured: BPM, key, lyrics, arrangement. Native MLX tool calling via Qwen3.5 chat template. A domain-tuned producer, not a wrapped chatbot.
FLUX.1 + mflux on Apple Silicon. Cover art, social cards, video assets, story art — rendered locally, no cloud roundtrip. Built into the same workflow as the music so the visuals ship the moment the song does.
21 songwriting strategies, a LanceDB-backed knowledge graph, RSS-ingested news for topical writing. Vector retrieval over the writer's prior work. Most AI lyrics are one prompt and a model. This is a system.
Live streaming engine — Icecast harbor ingest, multi-codec output, HLS adaptive. Go live the same minute the song finishes. The same Studio that made it pushes it to listeners in real time.
Production-grade, on your own machine.
Other on-device AI music tools are research demos. Studio is a notarized, code-signed, distributed product you can install in two clicks and ship a song with the same afternoon.
Studio runs ACE-Step — an open-source music foundation model — locally. The output file lives on your disk, not on our cloud, not on a vendor’s servers. You make it, you own it, in commercial perpetuity. This is a structural property of how the software works, not a policy. Compare Suno’s own help docs: “If you are using the free version of Suno (our Basic tier), we retain ownership of the songs you generate.”
Proprietary MLX backend for ACE-Step 1.5, tuned for the Apple Neural Engine and unified memory architecture. 2-3× faster than CPU/PyTorch. Inference runs fully offline — no cloud, no API bills, no rate limits, no moderation policies. The model lives next to your DAW, not on someone else's GPU.
FFT, biquad EQ, convolution, room correction — written in Rust, running at audio-thread latency. The audio engine is not a Python script with a UI on top; it's a real DSP library a real DAW would ship.
From DAW directly to the catalog: FLAC master, M4A 256k, M4A 128k stream, artwork, metadata, ISRC, Chromaprint fingerprint — all signed, provenance-stamped, uploaded as one multipart request. Time from 'I made this' to 'it's live, ISRC'd, fingerprinted, owned' is seconds, not days. No competitor in the AI music space has this.
Majiks is the first formal partner of ACE-Step — Junmin Gong's open-source music foundation model. Studio ships as the production desktop reference, the way Hugging Face's transformers ships as the reference Python library. Same level as ComfyUI Audio.
Not a logo on a page. A partnership.
Majiks is the first formal partner of ACE-Step — the open-source music foundation model created by Junmin Gong's team. Studio is the production reference desktop product, the same tier as ComfyUI Audio holds for nodes-based workflows. That's the entire frontier of where the model gets shipped.
ACE Music Cloud is wired into Studio's server pool by default. Hit a model your local machine can't run — Studio routes through the partnership rail at zero cost to the creator.
ACE-Step XL — the larger, higher-fidelity tier — lands in Studio before public release. Majiks creators ship on the leading edge of what the model can do.
Direct integration with the ACE Music publishing pipeline. The partnership is bidirectional — Studio creators can publish through ACE's distribution surface alongside Majiks Online.
ComfyUI Audio for nodes. Majiks Studio for desktop. That's the entire frontier of where serious people run ACE-Step.
Production-grade. Already shipped.
Honest about the hardware.
On-device AI music generation is real, but it's not magic. Here's what Studio needs to run the way it's designed to.

Studio is the flagship — not the whole map.
Studio creates. Online distributes. Media handles rights. Music brings the browser-native counterpart. Seven verticals, one identity, one royalty rail — Studio is where most of them begin.
