Mixed In Key and upgraded their music composition assistant, Wingman to version 3.0. The new version claims to listen to audio captured from a producer’s DAW and then suggests chord progressions and bass lines that fit the music. Version 3.0 expands Wingman’s chord-editing tools and adds vintage and modern guitar performances. Also, new is genre-specific drum performances. Producers can use Wingman to explore new chords around a vocal, find harmony for a sample, or try a different bass line for a remix. The original audio remains unchanged: Wingman provides musical ideas to audition against it, then edit and export back into the session. The update is available now and is free for all current Wingman owners.

Wingman runs inside the DAW and can capture a vocal, sample, loop, individual stem, or full track. Its stem separation lets producers isolate vocals, instruments, bass, or drums and choose which part guides the suggestions. For example, a remixer can start with a full track, isolate the vocal, and explore new chord progressions and basslines around it.
Producers can audition ideas through Wingman’s built-in sounds or their own VST3 instruments, then shape the sound with built-in effects. Chord and bassline ideas can be exported as WAV or MIDI. Guitar performances and drum parts export as audio, ready to use in the session.
Wingman Version 3.0 provides producers with more control over its chord, bass line and melody suggestions. They can replace individual chords, add passing chords, and edit when the harmony changes directly inside the plug-in. For a vocal remix, that means trying a different progression around the same performance, then adjusting individual changes while listening to the vocal. The suggestion is a starting point; the producer decides which chords to keep and how they move.
- Insert passing chords between existing chords
- Replace individual chords and choose how frequently the harmony changes
- Resize, split, or remove chord regions
- Audition each edit against the source audio
Wingman 3.0 adds acoustic and electric guitar performances recorded with real musicians…
The recordings adapt to the selected chord progression, so producers can hear their chord ideas played as guitar parts rather than only through a synth or piano sound. Producers can compare playing styles against their track and export the chosen performance as audio. Because the source material is played by musicians, it retains the articulation and variation of a recorded instrument.
The new Drums channel adds genre-based patterns for sections such as verses, hooks, and bridges, with separate kick and transition controls. Producers can audition patterns alongside their chord and bass line ideas and choose the elements they need. The utility allows you to 1) Export the full drum part as audio and/or 2) Export individual elements separately for further work in the DAW.
