The name Atune comes from the word attune which in one definition means, "to make harmonious". My goal was to make it easier for band members to work together. For them to become attuned.
Research Interviews
The first step in the process was to understand the user. I searched around and interviewed 2 different musicians with different workflows to see where they overlapped and differed.
Ideation
Using the information I found from my research I then created a persona with a user story and empathy map to help ideate potential solutions.
Prototypes
Once I understood where I wanted to go with the app functionality. I made paired down animations in Principle in order see if I was able to create the ideas I had in mind.

Top Right: Explores different layouts and features of the desktop app
Bottom Left: A continuation of potential ways for the user to interact with mobile app
Bottom Right: Ideation for how information could be organized within the mobile app
Test of potential animations for the desktop interface.
A hi-fi version of the above gif.
This gif shows the rollover and drag and drop test. This animation was used for moving concepts from the side menu to the main composition.
Case Study Fulfillment & Features
After figuring out the technical side of my design solution it was time to apply to my persona in order to alleviate pain points and make her workflow more fluid.
Feature 1: Recording & Creating a Note or Concept
Adding Concepts recorded on the mobile app to desktop composition.
Feature 2:
Concept Sync
The "Concepts" tab syncs up with the "Concepts" tab on the desktop app and any new recordings will appear in the sidebar. The new recording can then be dragged and dropped into the main composition.
Feature 3:
Band Notes
Members of the band can leave notes one the certain parts of the composition in order to make a suggestion without making hard changes to the document as a whole.
Atune app operations can also be split up between the mobile app and desktop app. If desired video chat can be sent to the Atune mobile app in order to open up workspace or get more detailed view of a given band members tracks.
