YuE Studio 0.5.1 — Preview, then finish

Full quality remains the default. This release adds an explicit Draft preview and makes the composition workspace easier to use.

• Choose 8-step Draft synthesis, then Finish at full quality using the saved score, tokens and seed. The 32-step finish keeps the original draft and its metadata.
• Clear Style or Lyrics independently, with Undo clear while you remain in the composition.
• Load installed models from the local cache first. Missing files retain the normal download path; integrity errors remain visible.
• Request user-initiated worker scheduling and prevent App Nap/automatic system sleep only while rendering. Show model loading and identify active drafts in progress.
• Keep full planning, original model precision, duration limits and lossless stereo output in both modes. Draft intentionally spends fewer synthesis steps and can sound less refined.

Verification: 39 Swift tests and 17 Python tests passed locally. An existing 12-second saved-token excerpt produced byte-identical Full-quality audio and latents before and after the update; the draft and original source remained intact. Draft synthesis took 10.85 seconds versus 23.19 seconds for the previous Full pass in that bounded test. This is not a universal speedup claim; Full synthesis compute time is essentially unchanged. Measurements and workflow.

Includes the Create, Edit and Master workspaces and all seven export formats. The Apple Silicon app and DMG are Developer ID signed, Apple-notarized and stapled. Requires macOS 14 or later. Editing and mastering need no models; generation retains its separate first-time runtime setup.

YuE Studio 0.5 — Create · Edit · Master

YuE Studio now has three workspaces: Create · Edit · Master. Edit an existing recording without generating a new performance or downloading another model.

Edit the recording

• Detailed stereo waveforms, sample/second selections, zoom, selection audition and looping.
• Cut, copy, paste, split, duplicate, trim, rearrange clips and add compatible alternate recordings.
• Fades, crossfades, gain ramps, peak normalization, silence and reverse.
• Tiny click repair, DC removal, polarity and channel tools, high/low-pass filters, markers and frequency analysis.
• Preserved source copies and saved undo/redo history. Export a selection or whole song, or send the edited recording to Master.

Finish and share

• WAV 24-bit, WAV 32-bit float, FLAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, AAC and 320 kbps MP3 export.
• A clearer Fine Tune Your Master section, Max Volume quick fix, and corrected Before/After transport behavior.
• Source-validated YuE2 songwriting companion, including what musical controls are and are not supported.
• Updated native-interface images and the existing download website.

Generation quality remains unchanged. Generation, editor processing and mastering use one exclusive audio-job gate. No new songs were generated for this release.

Download and setup

The Apple Silicon DMG includes the editor, mastering engine, MP3 encoder, licenses and setup guide. Editing and mastering work without models. Song generation still requires the separate runtime setup. macOS 14 or newer is required.

Read the editing guide for exact tool behavior, keyboard shortcuts and limits. This is a stereo recording editor; it does not include stem separation, audio inpainting, time stretching or pitch correction. Click repair handles a tiny selected defect, not automatic whole-track restoration.

Verification

36 Swift tests and 15 Python tests passed locally with the optional existing-recording and native-view fixtures enabled. A full existing-song round trip retained every decoded sample; selection playback, looping and persistent undo/redo passed. See verification details for the distinction between automated, native-view and installed-app checks.

With thanks to Tony Weston, the original YuE Studio creator, and M·A·P and collaborators for YuE2. Studio/editor source is Apache-2.0; the included mastering engine is AGPL-3.0-only; YuE2 weights retain their separate noncommercial license. See credits.

YuE Studio 0.4 — For the love of music

Download YuE Studio for Apple Silicon · SHA-256 checksum

A community release for the love of music and AI. Create a song locally, or bring a finished recording straight into Studio Mastering.

What’s new

• Studio Mastering is included in source: the full offline engine, Smart Master, 43 styles, repair controls and 24-bit WAV output. No separate private engine package is required.
• HiFi quick fix: restrained deep bass, clear low mids, gentle air and light punch. Non-stacking, editable, with Undo and level-matched comparison. Render explicitly to hear the result.
• Recoverable project deletion: visible Move to Trash actions and context menus for songs and mastering sessions. Imported originals and exported copies remain intact. Recovery settings travel with the trashed project.
• Refreshed warm native interface, high-contrast Quick Fix labels, real light/dark screenshots and community artwork.
• Full-quality generation remains full composition planning, GPU MLX and 32-step synthesis. Generation and mastering remain mutually exclusive.
• Includes the missing JSON writer fix when queuing a new song.

Build and use

Setup instructions · HiFi recipe and research · Verification

The Apple Silicon DMG supports macOS 14+. Drag YuE Studio to Applications and open the installed app. Both the app and DMG are Developer ID signed, Apple-notarized and stapled, with successful Gatekeeper assessments. Studio Mastering is included and works immediately. Song generation requires the separate runtime/model setup linked above; existing working runtimes are reused. No model weights are bundled. Local source builds remain ad-hoc signed by default.

The attached Community Kit contains current real screenshots, portrait and web campaign artwork, the brand icon, and ready-to-share launch copy. Generated campaign art may simplify small interface text; the screenshots are direct captures.

Validation

The final DMG was mounted and checked for app signatures, staple tickets, included licenses and its Applications shortcut. All seven mastering tests also passed against the signed helper inside the DMG; the copied app opened with the existing library intact.

15 Swift and 14 Python tests pass locally. Full-song HiFi validation preserved the input FLAC and delivered complete 48 kHz stereo 24-bit audio with measured headroom. The installed app’s deletion and HiFi workflows were exercised with disposable fixtures, and a HiFi version was saved alongside an existing full-song master. Source and Git history passed Gitleaks checks. The independent GitHub Actions clean build, test suites and DMG packaging passed.

YuE Studio 0.3.1 — A place for your songs

Original creators: This is a customized edition of YuE Studio by Tony Weston, built on YuE2 by M·A·P and collaborators. Their original app, Apple Silicon implementation, and music model are the foundation. Full credits and provenance.

YuE Studio brings local YuE2 song creation into a native Apple Silicon workspace: musical direction, structured lyrics, a persistent player, saved versions, and full-quality rendering.

In this public preview

• Warm ivory and charcoal appearances with the orange tuning-fork identity.
• Full-quality generation defaults, library, waveform playback, and export.
• Optional ReSoul mastering interface with Fix Stereo, More Bass, Clear Mids, Smooth Highs, Undo, and Before/After comparison.
• Generation/mastering exclusion and original-preserving export.
• Build instructions, prompting guidance for instrumental passages and solos, real screenshots, and a press kit.

What is—and is not—included

This is a source-first preview. Build instructions are in Setup.

The public source includes the mastering UI and documented process interface. ReSoul's proprietary DSP engine, Smart Master implementation, preset catalog, and binary remain private. Mastering requires a separately supplied authorized engine; no engine download is included or promised. The screenshots show a working private integration.

YuE2 model weights download separately and use their own model license. Public code uses Apache-2.0. No model weights, user audio library, credentials, or notarized installer are bundled.

Validation

The public source passed 10 Swift tests and 6 Python worker-support tests locally, plus an Apple Silicon release build. GitHub's clean macOS build validates the public checkout independently. Public files and Git history were scanned with Gitleaks; no leaks were found. Private engine code/catalogs were excluded by explicit file selection and a public-tree guard.

The attached press kit includes four imagegen campaign compositions, four real screenshots, the icon, and launch copy. Marketing compositions are distinct from actual UI captures.
