Set prep for REAPER and Logic Pro

Sunday's set, prepped before rehearsal.

You make the music. It runs the session.

Type the setlist into Claude. CheckCheck builds the show in your DAW: each song's tempo and time signature, count-ins, key markers, click and cue tracks, patch changes and a set sheet for the band. Live in REAPER, and as a ready-to-open project for Logic Pro.

Free to join, no payment now. Works inside the Claude app on your Mac, with your own Claude plan. Nothing you play leaves your computer.

Example set uses public-domain hymns. Results and checklists use the wording the tools return; the Logic export was run for real with this set.

Your Thursday night

The setlist lands. The show builds itself.

Every week the songs change and the prep doesn't. CheckCheck does the part that needs no taste, then shows you exactly what it did.

Every week, by hand

The job most keys players and MDs rebuild from scratch.

  • Open last week's project and clear it out
  • Set each song's tempo and time signature at the right bar
  • Work out what a 6/8 tempo is in quarter notes
  • Add a count-in before every song
  • Mark where each song starts and what key it's in
  • Rebuild the click and cue tracks
  • Re-enter the patch number for every song
  • Type up a set sheet for the band

You say

"Prep Sunday: Come Thou Fount in D at 76, Be Thou My Vision in Eb, 3/4 at 92, It Is Well in C, 6/8 at 54 per dotted quarter. One bar count-in, two bars between songs. Patches 1, 2 and 3."

The set sheet CheckCheck saved next to the MIDI file, reformatted for the page.
  1. The setlist arrives

    From Planning Center, a group text or a chart. Titles, keys and tempos are all it needs.

  2. Paste it into Claude

    Say which DAW, how long the count-ins are and which patches go with which song.

  3. Check the plan, say go

    Claude shows the set first. Nothing changes until you agree, and it's one undo step after.

  4. Rehearse

    Count-ins, click, markers and patch changes are in place. Print the set sheet for the band.

Who it's for

Made for people who'd rather be playing

One tool, a few very different Thursdays. Here's what each looks like today, including what it can't do yet.

Worship keys players and music directors

REAPER live. Logic Pro and MainStage rigs through a MIDI file.

"The set is in Planning Center on Tuesday. I rebuild the show and my patches every week."

You say
The setlist, with keys, tempos and patch numbers.
You get
Tempo and meter per song, count-ins, key markers, click and cue tracks, patch changes, and a set sheet with start times.
Not yet
It doesn't place your stems or control MainStage directly. Stem placement is next on the list.

Bands and pit players running tracks

REAPER live. Logic and others by file.

"The song order changed again an hour before soundcheck."

You say
"Swap songs 3 and 5 and re-prep the set."
You get
The whole show rebuilt with new start times, as one step you can undo.

Engineers and REAPER regulars

REAPER live.

"Same template, same colors, same routing, every session."

You say
"Band tracking session, full kit, three vocals, then a reverb bus."
You get
Folders, colors, panning and plugins built, and messy sessions tidied with a preview first.

Blind and low-vision producers

REAPER with OSARA.

"Routing a sidechain is dozens of keystrokes with a screen reader."

You say
"Duck the bass and pads under the kick."
You get
Sends, channels and ReaComp keying done, with every change read back as plain text.

We're testing with blind producers using VoiceOver, NVDA and OSARA before we claim more. This card will list exactly what was tested.

Logic producers

Logic Pro 11 and later. No Creator Studio subscription needed.

"I just want my usual tracks, tempo and song sections ready to record."

You say
"Band tracking template at 92 with verse and chorus markers."
You get
A new Logic project with named tracks, sensible sounds, tempo and markers.

Logic gets a new project from a MIDI file. It can't color, route or edit a project you already have open.

The chores

The boring half of the session, handled

It doesn't write songs or mix by ear. It does the setup you already know how to do, in the time it takes to say it.

Templates in one sentence

Six starting points (band tracking, beats, mixing, podcast, worship playback, orchestral) or your own description. Folders, colors, panning and plugins.

Tidy any session

Clean up file-style names, color by instrument and fold loose tracks into Drums, Bass and Vocals. See the whole plan before anything moves.

Sidechains without the routing matrix

"Duck the bass and pads under the kick." Sends, channel counts and compressor keying, done the way an engineer would. Threshold and ratio stay yours.

Song sections and MIDI you dictate

Colored regions for every section, tempo and meter included. It writes MIDI notes only when you spell them out, like a bass line you hum in note names.

Check, check

Built so you can trust it with Sunday

Every change is read back from the DAW before it says done, so you hear about anything that didn't land.

One undo step

A whole set or a 40-track template is a single Cmd+Z, labeled with what it did.

All or nothing

If one part fails, everything before it is rolled back. No half-built shows.

Read back, then reported

You get a checklist of what REAPER or the file now holds, written in plain words.

Preview first

Any chore can show its plan without touching the session.

Never undoes your work

Undo only reverses CheckCheck's own steps and refuses yours.

No extensions needed

Stock REAPER. No SWS, no Python, no open ports. One small script you can read or remove.

What Claude sees

  • Track names, colors, folders and sends
  • Plugin names and the settings you ask about
  • Markers, regions, tempo and the setlist you type

What never leaves your Mac

  • Audio, stems and recordings
  • Your project files
  • Usage data: CheckCheck makes no network calls and has no telemetry
Setup

Three steps, about three minutes

What setup looks like once your early-access invite arrives, if you already have the Claude app. Logic users can skip step three.

  1. 1

    Get the Claude app

    Claude for Mac, signed in with your Claude plan. The plan is billed by Anthropic, not by us.

  2. 2

    Add the extension

    Open the CheckCheck file from your invite, then in Claude open Settings, Extensions, Advanced settings, and choose Install Extension.

  3. 3

    Connect REAPER

    With REAPER open, say Set up CheckCheck for REAPER, then What's in my session?

REAPER pauses scripts while a dialog is open. If the evaluation reminder is showing, click Still Evaluating once it unlocks. More on the support page.

Questions

Does it make music for me?

No. It does setup: tracks, names, colors, routing, plugins, markers, tempo maps and setlists. It writes MIDI notes only when you spell them out. Your sound, your parts and your mix stay yours.

What does it cost to run?

CheckCheck itself will be a one-time price; the prices above are what we plan to charge. The AI runs on your own Claude plan, which Anthropic bills separately. There are no credits.

Which DAWs does it work with?

REAPER 7 is controlled live and was verified in 7.85 on macOS. Logic Pro gets a new project from a MIDI file, verified in 11.1.2. Ableton Live, FL Studio and Cubase can import the same file; we're still testing those. Windows support for REAPER is in testing.

Does it work with MainStage?

Not directly. The set file carries a patch change at the start of every song, so you can send it from Logic or REAPER to MainStage or your keyboard. Setting up that routing is up to your rig.

Can it read my Planning Center plan?

Planning Center has its own connector for Claude. We're testing reading this week's plan with it and prepping the set in the same conversation. Until that's confirmed, paste the plan or type the songs.

Can it place my stems or tracks for each song?

Not yet. Today it builds the tempo map, count-ins, markers, click, cues and patch changes. Placing stems per song is the next feature on the list.

What about songs in 6/8?

Tell it whether the tempo counts dotted quarters or eighths. "6/8 at 54 per dotted quarter" becomes 81 quarter-note BPM in REAPER, the unit REAPER and MIDI files use.

What if a chore goes wrong?

Each chore is one undo step, and a chore that fails partway rolls itself back. Undo from Claude or from REAPER's Edit menu.

Does my audio or project leave my computer?

No audio ever leaves. Claude sees track names, colors, plugin names, settings and the setlist you type, so it can do the chore. CheckCheck itself makes no network calls.

Does it work with a screen reader?

You work through the Claude app, and every result comes back as text, so it can sit alongside REAPER with OSARA. We're testing the whole setup with blind producers and will publish exactly what works before claiming more.

What happens when I join the list?

Your email and answers go into a private sheet. We'll email you when early access is ready and when you can buy it, and nothing else. Reply to any email from us and we'll delete your details.
