What you will find on this site
Many music and software landing pages are only link dumps. Readers need unique, helpful text first. So this front page is written as a real publication: long-form guides, an author page, contact, privacy, and terms — with the denser systems portal one click away.
Everything here is created by Justin Helmer for independent artists, hobby producers, and people who prefer free browser tools over locked app stores.
Why free BPM tools still matter
Tempo is the shared language of DJs, dancers, and producers. When you only need a quick read of an MP3 or WAV, installing a full DAW is slow. Browser-based BPM detection analyzes audio locally with Web Audio APIs so unreleased demos do not have to leave your device.
The full guide explains confidence scores, half-time and double-time, tap tempo, and how to use a free BPM result in a setlist or practice loop.
Independent streaming for original music
Major distributors are useful, but they are not the only path. Independent artists can host free listen experiences, publish an ISRC-aware catalog, and still list on Spotify or YouTube Music. You control masters, alternate free streams, and how you talk to listeners.
Free tools without a subscription
Many day-to-day tasks only need a focused free tool: tempo check, a public listen page, resonance experiments. We document tools we actually maintain so the advice matches the product.
Full systems hub (advanced)
USB champion downloads, champion portals, lattice ledgers, and network tools remain at LYGO Systems Hub. That hub is for power users. This homepage is for readable articles and site policy.
