Level 2 moves you from operating Studio to controlling it. The focus is sound design, arrangement, automation, and the workflows that exist nowhere else in music software — MIDI as a generation prompt, audio-to-MIDI transcription, and chat-designed plugins.
You leave with original synth patches, an automated mix, a personal device library, and a timing discipline you run without being told.
Using a MIDI clip as the prompt for an audio generation — specifying the notes and letting the model handle timbre and performance. And the separate-then-transcribe sequence for audio-to-MIDI, which is documented nowhere and is one of the highest-value moves in the product.
Building wavetable patches from an initialized state, including the three routings that do more for expressiveness than any effect chain. Then automation as composition — riding a vocal, opening a filter across a build, and performing curves with hardware via MIDI Learn.
Describing an effect in the chat bar and receiving a working device that automates, takes presets and responds to MIDI Learn like any factory plugin — and learning why describing behaviour beats describing gear every time.
We start with session architecture — locking the clock, naming tracks so the chat bar's project awareness is usable, and keeping a muted reference track, which is standard practice in every professional room and almost nobody does it in browser tools. Then the four-element instruction method, MIDI as a generation prompt, audio-to-MIDI transcription, two sessions on the wavetable synth, two on automation and hardware control, two on designing your own plugins, advanced stem workflows, and a timing verification routine.
By the end you can design original patches from scratch, automate a mix so the arrangement goes somewhere, drive generation from written MIDI, transcribe audio into editable notes, design and refine custom plugins conversationally, and diagnose timing drift before it compounds through an arrangement.
Everything in Level 3 — hybrid pipelines, stem reconstruction, rights, archival practice — assumes you can already shape what Studio gives you. Level 2 is where that shaping ability is built, and its final project is the entry material for Level 3.
This level is right for you if you completed Level 1 and exported a finished multitrack, or if you already have DAW fluency and want to reach Studio's distinctive capabilities quickly without sitting through interface basics.

Level 2 is where you start specifying notes instead of describing moods, building your own instruments instead of loading presets, and designing the exact device your workflow needs rather than the one a manufacturer decided to ship. Level 3 then places all of it correctly inside a professional pipeline.
