Beats & arrangement

Make beats online in a free browser DAW

MyDawsons gives you an MPC-style 8-pad drum grid, click-to-place pattern tracks, preset patterns, and an in-house producer that builds a genre-structured arrangement around a recording — all in the free browser DAW.

Beat-building tools in the browser

  • 8-pad drum grid (kick, snare, clap, hats, and more) with computer-key triggers.
  • Step-grid pattern editor for drums and melodic families, with starter and blank instrument tracks.
  • Preset patterns you can drop into the timeline and edit.
  • Per-track loop, pitch, reverb, and delay sends on the mixer.

In-house producer

Record a hook, pick a genre (Pop, Hip-Hop, House, Jazz, Holiday, Blues), and generate a ~2-minute arrangement with real song-form sections. Output lands as ordinary editable tracks — drums, bass, chords, and your looped recording — not a locked render.

Learn the layers

Use Discover genres to study how songs are layered, then open an original Dawsons example arrangement in the DAW.

Common questions

Do I need an account to make beats on MyDawsons?

No. Open mydawsons.com and use the browser DAW without signing up.

Is the in-house producer a cloud AI model?

No. It is a rule-based arranger using genre song forms and diatonic progressions in your chosen key. Heavy generative models, when used, are part of the local desktop direction — not required for this browser feature.

Can I save my beat?

Yes. The browser DAW supports saving and loading projects in the browser, plus share/copy link flows for a song state.

Honest scope: browser features run in your tab for free. Full stem separation and heavy local AI models need the free desktop app. Dawsons does not offer YouTube/Spotify audio extraction.
