USER DECISION REQUIRED
“The tools around music have become more powerful while the workflow has become more fragmented.”

As a working DJ and producer, John Hirsch has experienced the gap between what creative software can technically do and what artists actually need in the moment.

CrateVector is being built to protect creative momentum, organize the information that creates friction, and help artists make stronger decisions under real conditions.
