Create master

Every master is normalised to the same loudness, so your song sits at the same level as anyone else's.

not measured yet
Loudness is measured to ITU‑R BS.1770 after the character processing, then normalised to −14 LUFS and limited to −1 dBTP.

Export

Stems and mixdowns are available at any point — you don't need a finished master first.

Clipping
Turn your input gain down. Recording continues.

Recordings are shifted back automatically to line up with what you heard, so overdubs sit where they were played.

The offset shifts recordings earlier to line them up with what you heard. The figure above is the browser’s estimate until you replace it: type over it, or press Calibrate and let Saturn measure it against a few “sh” sounds. If overdubs still feel a touch late, raise it; if they land early, lower it — the same manual offset Reaper, Ableton and Logic all provide.

Calibrate

Four soft count‑in beats, then eight clicks. Say “sh” on every one of the eight — short and sharp, like a hi‑hat. Saturn finds where each answer landed and averages the difference.

Wear headphones. This measures the trip out to your ears and back in through the microphone, so the click should not reach the microphone any other way.

Listen plays your “sh” take back against a fresh click with this offset applied, round and round. If the two land together it is right. A “sh” still late against the click wants a larger offset.

Nudge 0 ms Nudging every take the same way? Calibrate the record offset in Audio.

How saving works

Every song is saved automatically to local storage within this browser. Your work saves as you go, so you can close a tab and come back later to pick up where you left off. Saturn will warn you when you've reached 90% of your browser storage. Nothing is uploaded.

Browser storage is not a backup. Clearing your browser's history or website data deletes your songs, and a browser can clear storage by itself when the disk runs low. Each song in the list shows when it was last saved to a file.

Saving a project creates a .saturn file containing everything: the audio, where each clip sits on the timeline, trims and fades, the whole mix, and the master once you've created one. Save a project to keep a copy of a finished song, to move to another computer, or to share with a collaborator.

Save all songs saves every song at once. In Chrome and Edge you pick a folder and each song becomes its own .saturn file there. Other browsers download one .zip holding a .saturn file per song; unzip it to open them. Doing this now and then is the easiest backup there is.

Chrome and Edge on desktop

Open a project file from disk and the song stays linked to that file. Pressing SAVE FILE writes back to it, wherever you keep it, the way a normal document behaves. The header shows which file the open song is linked to.

Safari, Firefox, and mobile

These browsers can't write to a file on disk. Opening a project file copies it into the browser, and that copy becomes the live version. Pressing SAVE FILE downloads a new file and will not update an existing version you have already saved.

Safari deletes everything a website has stored after 7 days of using Safari without opening it. Add Saturn to the Dock (File › Add to Dock) to keep your songs in its own app, and save a project file of anything you want to keep.
