RiffBank

Why This is an Opportunity

Every musician has this problem and talks about it constantly. The build is a fun media-handling project, and the tagging/search UX is a satisfying design challenge. Musicians happily pay for tools that serve their creative flow.

Key Pain Points

  • You have 347 voice memos on your phone named 'New Recording 47' and no idea what's in any of them
  • You had an incredible melody idea last Tuesday and now it's gone forever because you can't find the recording
  • When you sit down to write, you start from scratch instead of building on all the ideas you've already captured
  • There's no good way to tag a musical idea by vibe or key — it's just a wall of audio files sorted by date

Original Discovery

Musicians and producers record voice memo ideas constantly — humming a melody in the shower, tapping a rhythm on the bus — and then those ideas die in a graveyard of untitled audio files. RiffBank lets you upload snippets, tag them by mood/key/tempo/instrument, and browse your own idea library when you sit down to actually write. It's a second brain for musical ideas.
