London-based music technology innovator Vochlea – acclaimed for its groundbreaking voice-to-MIDI software Dubler 2 – has launched a transformative new tool for the creative process. Dubnote, their just-released iOS app, tackles a universal frustration for musicians and producers: the chaotic mess of voice memos. Available now, the app offers free lifetime Premium access exclusively to users who download it within the next 24 hours (Wednesday 9th July 2025), ditching subscriptions for early adopters.
Positioned as an essential sonic sketchbook, Dubnote is meticulously designed for songwriting‘s raw, initial stages where capturing fleeting inspiration is paramount. It moves far beyond basic recording, offering an intuitive interface that structures the creative chaos without interrupting the flow. Whether capturing a sudden vocal hook, a promising band jam, or a rhythmic idea on the go, Dubnote ensures these sparks aren’t lost in an abyss of untitled recordings.
Dubnote’s power lies in its sophisticated on-device AI processing. Crucially, no audio data is sent to external servers or used for model training, ensuring complete privacy and artist ownership. This local intelligence structures creative chaos, automatically splitting recordings into meaningful sections and detecting precise tempo (BPM). It transcribes speech and lyrics for instant reference while enabling time-stamped notes and one-tap favouriting of breakthrough moments. Content-based automatic tagging categorizes ideas organically, and powerful search functionality lets artists retrieve elements using keywords or intuitive emoji triggers—like hunting for a “🔥 riff” or “🎹 progression”. Musicians can organize recordings into customizable notebooks with unique covers and titles…
Musicians can organize recordings into customisable notebooks with unique covers and titles, backed securely to iCloud. For refining ideas, exporting full sessions or individual clips in .WAV or .AAC formats is seamless. Forgotten gems can even be resurrected by importing old recordings into the Dubnote ecosystem.
“Before Dubnote, everything went into voice memos and I’d waste time digging through old recordings,” explains Alejandro VanZandt-Escobar, saxophonist for rising UK band Millpool, whose debut single ‘High Speed Pursuit’ – released today – was crafted using early Dubnote builds. “Now I can favourite sections, add notes and share clips with the band in seconds. It’s made our whole process smoother. I honestly can’t go back.”
Vochlea CEO George Wright underscores the mission: “We realised the early ideas stage is totally underserved. Musicians use voice memos out of convenience, not love. Dubnote is designed with musicians in mind for that scrappy, messy stage. No more digging through a sea of untitled waveforms.”
Dubnote represents a significant leap in creative tools for musicians, offering intelligent audio organisation that respects privacy and empowers the artist. It transforms raw, fleeting ideas into searchable, usable creative fuel, directly on the iPhone. For the next 24 hours, Vochlea offers full, lifetime Premium access completely free – a compelling invitation to revolutionise your musical workflow.
