After transforming the way musicians sing and record melodies with their groundbreaking Dubler 2 software, Vochlea is back with a tool aimed at an even messier frontier: the idea stage.
Meet Dubnote, a new iOS app that reimagines voice memos for musicians. It’s out today with a serious offer: free lifetime access for anyone who downloads it within the first 24 hours. No subscriptions, no trial periods, just the full, premium version unlocked forever.
Dubnote is built for the chaos of creativity. Have you ever recorded a spontaneous half-hook, a live take, or a vocal demo at 3AM? Dubnote captures, structures, and makes sense of them without killing the vibe. It automatically slices sessions into sections, detects BPM, transcribes lyrics, adds time-stamped notes, tags recordings, and makes everything searchable. And, yes, you can even search by emoji.
And, notably, Dubnote does all this locally without sending your audio to external servers. “These aren’t just files. They’re your work,” says CTO Daven Sanassy. “No recordings are sent to external servers, and nothing is used to train models. It’s all about giving musicians full ownership over their creative process, from idea to execution.”
It’s a musician’s sketchbook with a brain, and it’s already in use. UK post-hardcore outfit Millpool built their debut single “High Speed Pursuit” in Dubnote. “I honestly can’t go back,” says saxophonist Alejandro VanZandt-Escobar. “It’s made our whole process smoother.”
From napkin-scribble to studio-ready, Dubnote is for the early loops, stutters, and sparks that become songs. As Vochlea CEO George Wright puts it: “Most musicians use the native voice memos app not because they love it, but because it’s convenient. We’ve built something better.”
It’s safe to say they did.
Download Dubnote here – do it by the end of July 9th, and you’ll get it for free for the rest of your life.
