Real-time collaboration in Veena

Real-time collaboration in Veena puts you and your co-writers in the same project at the same time: invite someone with a link, and you both edit the song live, with named cursors, synced sections and a CoProducer you can brief together. It works like a Google Doc for music, it's free on every plan, and it has been live since 12 September 2026.

Veena is an AI DAW with a personal music producer built in. Describe the song you want and CoProducer builds it with you — beats, chords, melody, arrangement and mix — as real tracks you can edit, mix and export. Free, in your browser.

Start real-time collaboration in Veena

1. Open the Share button. It's at the right of the transport bar, beside Save: a people icon that shows "Share" when you hover it. You can also open Settings from the account menu and choose Collaborate.
2. Invite a person. Type their email in Invite by email and press Invite. Veena creates a link that opens only for that person's Google account and copies it to your clipboard. Send it in a message, an email or a DM.
3. Or copy an open link. Under Anyone with the link ("Can join and edit"), press Copy link. Anyone who has this link can join and edit, so share it with care.
4. They join. Your collaborator opens the link and signs in with Google. The project appears on their projects page as "Shared by" you.
5. Make music. Edits sync instantly. Faces appear on the Share button, each person's named cursor sits on the bar and track they're working on, and a clip shows when someone is editing it.
6. Remove access when you're done. Open Share, find the person under Shared with, click Editor and choose Remove access.

Ask CoProducer, together

Every shared project has two CoProducer chats: My chat, which only you see, and Shared chat, which the whole session sees. Everyone steers the same run through Shared chat. A Shared chat follow-up can join that active shared run after its current actions finish, through Up next. My chat stays private; its queued messages stay in the private tab. A pick made in Shared chat is marked "Selected by" whoever chose it.

• In the shared chat: "Write an 8-bar half-time bridge with just keys and bass, and we'll pick one of the 3 options together."
• In the shared chat: "Mix the whole song while we listen: vocal up front, drums punchy."
• In your own chat: "Give me three busier hi-hat patterns to try before I show the band."

How it works (as of September 2026)

Tips for sessions that flow

• Split the jobs. One person on drums and bass, another on chords and melody; clip indicators show who's in what.
• Try ideas privately first. Use My chat to audition a direction, then bring the one you like to the Shared chat.
• Mark the sections early. Named sections sync for everyone, so "let's redo the second chorus" means the same bars on every screen; see arranging a song.
• Plug-ins travel. A collaborator without your plug-in still hears it; see VST and AU plugins with Veena Bridge.

Send a follow-up together

1. In Shared chat, type a correction while the shared run works and press Enter.
2. Watch Up next until the running request reads it. Take it back before delivery if you want to edit it.
3. Pick any waiting musical option so the run can continue.
4. Inspect the new parts in the common timeline; every sender uses their own allowance or Pro credits.
