3. Rework it in blocks that loop
The problem

One band, five apps,
and still not the right file.

The rehearsal WAV is on WhatsApp, compressed. The Cubase project got overwritten. The guitarist forgot the bridge chord. And everyone pays their own subscription.

From rehearsal to arrangement

Record the rehearsal on your phone.
Rework the song the next day.

No sound engineer, no cables, no computer in the rehearsal room: one phone is enough to make quick demos. Then everyone, at home, can suggest a structure and make their own version of the song, which the others can hear.

  1. Record at rehearsal

    + › Record audio, then the big red button, on a real drum groove (100 reference grooves in 10 styles, recorded in a studio) or a simple click. When you stop, the played part is pre-selected, the level is set, and the take is already cut into patterns: tap one to loop it. Trim and fade with a finger.

  2. No network? Keep it on the phone

    Rehearsal rooms rarely have Wi-Fi: choose Keep on the phone, then Send all once you're back on the network. The take travels lossless (FLAC, about twice as light as WAV), resumes by itself after a cut without losing anything, and lands as an m4a in the folder you chose.

  3. The server understands the song

    As soon as it arrives, your band's server analyzes it by itself: tempo, bars, sections, A/B/C patterns, chords. At night it also separates the vocals, guitars, bass and drums. On your PC, not in a data center.

  4. Rearrange it like building blocks

    In the advanced player, the song arrives already cut into colored sections. Then it's up to you:

    • move sections and blocks: long press, then drag;
    • change their order, duplicate, delete, keep only a selection;
    • name the sections: Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Solo…;
    • repeat a loop as many times as you want (×2, ×3, ×8…), even a drum loop of a few seconds, with no gap;
    • extract a selection as a new file, or save the whole new arrangement.

    Everything can be undone. Corrections to the sections are shared with the whole band.

  5. Add your part on top

    Still in the advanced player, the red button records a take over the song, aligned to the music. It becomes a mixer track and a file shared with the band, ready for Studio One or Cubase.

  6. Everyone makes their version, then on to the DAW

    Save your arrangement: it becomes a new file in the band folder, which the others can listen to and comment on. When the structure is settled, To Studio One or Cubase creates a ready-to-open project with separated tracks, or you take the WAV into any DAW.

Safety and settings

Your data, at home

Your music has no business in a data center

Online storage services keep your rehearsals and unreleased demos in distant buildings owned by large companies, and charge you every month for the space. 28JoursBox does the opposite: everything stays on a PC in your band.

🏠 Stored at home

Files, versions, takes, analyses, separated tracks: everything is on the disk of your server PC. No third-party service stores your songs.

💶 Costs you control

No price per member or per gigabyte. You buy a disk once and pay the electricity of a PC. Our band: about 720 GB on a 4 TB disk.

🧠 AI at home

Instrument separation, chords, song structure and even speech-to-text transcription are computed on your PC, not by an online AI provider. Your demos and meetings never leave.

🔑 You hold the keys

No company account, no terms that change overnight, no price increase. Your files are ordinary files on each PC, readable without 28JoursBox.

All-in-one

Three tools in one app

What musicians pay for separately today, brought together and installed at home.

The band folder

A folder on every PC's desktop that syncs by itself. Like a cloud drive, but at home and built for music.

  • Versions, trash, resumable transfers
  • A shared calendar: rehearsals, gigs and who is away, synced with Google Calendar
  • A group chat for the band, with photos, right next to the files
  • Send whole folders, download them as a zip
  • Meetings and voice memos transcribed into text
  • A gig or rehearsal recording split into songs automatically
  • Photographed pages (lyrics, setlists) turned into text or a searchable PDF
  • Optional high-quality separation into 5 tracks (vocals, guitars, bass, drums, other)
  • Bass notes and fingering shown on the neck
  • No take lost: recordings are saved on the phone as you go
  • A separate family space, invisible to the band, for photos and videos of your loved ones
  • Locks on open projects
  • Mobile data access, QR code invites

The pocket studio

In your phone's browser, nothing to install: every song split, analyzed and ready to practice.

  • Vocals, guitars, bass, drums separated
  • Chords, key and color-coded structure
  • Tempo 50–150%, loops, overdub takes
  • Real drum grooves to record over (100 grooves, 10 styles)

The bridge to the studio

One tap, and the song becomes a ready-to-open Studio One or Cubase project: separated, colored tracks locked to the grid.

  • 24-bit / 48 kHz WAV
  • Takes as extra tracks
  • Optional tempo stabilization
Photos & videos

The band's photos and videos too

Gig photos, rehearsal videos, posters, setlists: send them straight from your phone and the whole band can see them right away, on every phone and every PC. Stored at home with everything else, not in a data center.

📷 Straight from the phone

Take a photo or a video from the app, or pick several from your gallery: the app reminds you when you last sent some.

🖼️ Full screen for everyone

Thumbnails in the list, photos and videos full screen, in landscape too. Swipe to the next one.

💻 On every PC too

They land in the 28JoursBox folder of every member's PC, ready for a poster, a video edit or social media.

🔗 Shared with a link

A whole gig folder for the venue or your fans: a public read-only link, with a password and an end date if you like.

Show up to rehearsal knowing the song

Drop in a recording, a demo or a YouTube link: a few seconds later the song is split and analyzed, on your server.

  • Structure in named sections — Intro, Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Solo… always the same color, with A, B, C patterns.
  • Chords beat by beat — shown above the blocks, the current one underlined; tap a chord to jump to it. C D E or Do Re Mi, transposition.
  • Key and suggested pentatonic scale to improvise over the solo.
  • Shared corrections — one member fixes the sections, the whole band benefits.

4. Separate the instruments and mix
Separated instruments

Mute the guitar.
Play it yourself.

Every song is split into four tracks by a state-of-the-art AI: vocals, guitars, bass, drums. A real mixer, set and remembered for each song.

  • Mute and Solo on every track, dB faders.
  • Tempo from 50% to 150% without changing the pitch.
  • Sample-accurate loops, repeats ×2, ×3… and a trainer that speeds up step by step.
  • Count-in and metronome locked to the detected beats.
  • In the car: lock screen and CarPlay.

Record over it

Your take lands right on the song

Press ⏺: count-in, playback of whatever you want to hear, and the mic records. The take is aligned precisely thanks to a measurement of the phone's latency, and becomes a mixer track shared with the whole band.

  • One take per pass when looping a section.
  • "Align" trims start and end to bar lines, finding the "1" from the kick and snare.
  • To Studio One or Cubase: ready-to-open project folder, colored tracks, grid accurate from start to finish.

Your data, at home

The server is a PC in your band

No file goes to a hosting company. Even the AI runs on your machine: nothing is sent to an online service. The only storage limit is your hard drive.

  • No silent data loss: conflict copies instead of overwrites, 30-day trash and version history.
  • Automatic locks when Cubase or Studio One opens a project: nobody overwrites someone else's session.
  • Resumable transfers: a dropped connection mid-upload of a multi-GB session loses nothing.
  • Daily backup and a weekly integrity check.
  • Heavy processing overnight: next morning, everything is ready.

FAQ

You're probably wondering…

Is it really free?

Yes. No subscription, no paid version, no ads. If the project helps you, you can support its development with a donation, no obligation.

Why not just use an online storage service?

Because your songs would then live in a company's data center, under its terms and its prices, which grow with every gigabyte and every member. With 28JoursBox, they stay on your band's PC, the AI runs there too, and there is nothing to pay per month. The full argument.

What do I need?

A Windows 10 or 11 PC (64-bit) that acts as the server and stays on, with disk space for your songs. Other members use their Windows PC and/or their phone (iPhone or Android), with nothing to install on the phone.

Does it work on Mac?

Not yet for the server or the synced folder. The web app, however, works in any browser, including on Mac, iPhone and iPad.

What about away from home, on mobile data?

Yes. The simplest way: Tailscale (free), built into the server, with nothing to set up on your router or phones. Faster: direct access, set up once by the admin (a free DuckDNS name, a port forwarded on the router, an HTTPS certificate obtained automatically); Tailscale then stays as a backup. At home, PCs keep using the local network, which is faster for big WAV files. Step-by-step guide, router by router.

Are my songs sent to an online AI?

No. Instrument separation, chord, tempo and structure detection, and speech-to-text transcription all run on your server. Nothing is sent to an online service.

Do I need a graphics card?

No. Heavy processing (separation, fine analysis) runs overnight at low priority so the server stays responsive. Next day, everything is ready.

What if I uninstall?

Your files and the server data are kept. Reinstalling or updating brings everything back: accounts, history, trash.

Can I view Word, Excel and PowerPoint files?

Yes, on phones and in the browser, provided LibreOffice (free) is installed on the server PC, in its default folder. The server converts each document to PDF the first time it is opened, then prepares new ones at night. Without LibreOffice, the app shows "Preview unavailable" for these files; everything else works.

What if the server PC breaks down?

Every member's PC keeps a full copy of the folders it syncs, so your files are not lost. But the server's history, trash and analyses are only on its disk: that's the flip side of independence. Make a regular backup to an external disk, ideally kept somewhere else. The user guide explains how.

Next rehearsal, everyone's ready.
