Use openDAW in the browser to produce; use Suru to find collaborators, share tracks and playlists, and manage collaborations. Start in openDAW, find a collaborator on Suru—or the other way around.

Suru users can choose “openDAW” as their DAW when uploading or editing tracks, so your work is discoverable in Suru’s community.

Suru collaborations support project files: you and your collaborator can upload ZIPs (stems, session exports, or openDAW project bundles) directly in the collaboration room. Both participants can download and continue in openDAW or any DAW.

1. Start or join a collaboration (with an existing track or a new project).
2. Produce in openDAW, then export your project or stems as a ZIP.
3. In the collaboration page, use the dropzone to upload the ZIP so your collaborator can download it.
4. Tag the track with DAW “openDAW” when uploading or editing so others know it was made with openDAW.

Project files in a collaboration are visible only to you and your collaborator while the collab is active. You can share up to 3 project files per track.
