IntroEdit finds the 1, builds a clean 8- or 16-bar intro from the song itself, and drops seamlessly into your original track.
No reconstructed song. No stem artifacts after the drop.
DAWs and DJ production tools let you create an intro edit. IntroEdit creates it for you — a crate at a time.
Your original on top, with the drop marked. The song’s bars below it — the ones with singing flagged, the four that feed the loop lit up. One row of choices. And the finished edit underneath, ready to play before you save it.
Stem separation is used for one thing: building the intro. From the drop on, every sample is your file — at its own sample rate and bit depth. For a lossless source the body is tested bit-identical. If the app ever has to touch it (a lossy file that decodes past full scale gets one small gain trim), it tells you exactly how much.
Drop a folder. Every track is analysed as it lands, each row says where its beatgrid came from, and the app flags only the ones it has a concrete reason to doubt. Walk the crate from the keyboard, fix the odd grid, Generate All, Save All.
A Serato beatgrid in the file is used exactly as you set it. Otherwise the grid is detected, and you verify it by ear with a click track, tap the 1, nudge by a beat or 5 ms, or zoom in and put the bar line on the kick with one press. A grid you corrected is never quietly re-fitted.
The intro is a loop of the record’s own bars. No sample packs, no generic drum loops, nothing synthesised. It prefers bars where nobody is singing — where the loop simply is the original — and tells you how clean the bars it used are.
The defaults aren’t guesses: intro length, what’s in the loop, when the bass comes in and whether there’s a build were set by measuring 37 record-pool intro edits. “Auto” tells you what it decided — Auto → 16 bars · bass in at bar 9 · 4-bar loop from bar 12.
A Serato beatgrid in the tags wins. Otherwise beats and downbeats are detected, sanity-checked (bars must be four beats) and fitted to a constant tempo.
The track is separated so the loop can be the full instrumental, drums + bass, or drums.
A 2, 4 or 8-bar section that is full, bright and — wherever the record allows — has no singing on it. Or pick them yourself and audition A/B against the original.
8 bars under 100 BPM, 16 otherwise (or 8 / 16 / 32 on request), click-free and drift-free, at the body’s level. On longer intros the bass comes in halfway.
The original enters on a downbeat with a hard cut. The few milliseconds of smoothing a cut needs come from the intro side — never from the first samples of your track.
FLAC, WAV or AIFF, with tags and cover art carried over and the title marked (Intro Edit). Saving never overwrites a file.
All of it runs on your computer. Your music is never uploaded — see the privacy policy for exactly what is and isn’t sent.
Better you hear it here than find out at a gig.
PRIVATE BETA
A small group of working DJs is testing it. There is no download here: testers are invited one at a time, and each agrees to a short confidentiality agreement the first time they open the app. If you’d like to be one of them, leave your address and tell us two things.
