Astra Station: a DAW that teaches music like a video game

Role: Founder and product director at Astra Creative Audio (product vision, UX, sound, content).

What it is: Astra Station is our own DAW: playlist, step sequencer, piano roll, mixer and plugins, plus a game layer for learning music production.

• Learning: 73 lessons across five worlds (piano, the camera-played Tesseracto synth, music theory, mix & master, beatmaker tricks) with XP, daily streaks and rewards, guided by our mascot Astrini.
• Astraverse: a skill tree (digging, drums, melody, pre-mix, arrangement, design) and weekly missions that only level up when you actually use the tools.
• Loop Battle: loop battles between crews, with votes.
• Collaboration rooms: video call, chat and a synced project in one room, so a teacher can give a class inside the project.

Result: working product, presented publicly on LinkedIn, with live demos for educators underway.
