TuneBuilder is an early digital music editor that automatically recombined segments of digital audio files to create new performances.

The concept behind the software was invented by Darryl Goede and patented[1] [2] in 1995, and consisted of several modules including an automatic editor interface (TuneBuilder), a control file production module (AutoBlade), a search utility (TuneFinder), and audio file format exchanges (s/Link). The software was commercialized and marketed from 1995 to 1998 by Airworks Media Ltd., a Canadian company listed on the Alberta Stock Exchange.

A Windows 95 version was released in mid-1996[3] that incorporated software from Synclavier, purchased by Airworks in late 1995.

There were 18,000 commercial selections encoded to work under TuneBuilder. The overall TuneBuilder system enabled existing music from the libraries of Bertlesmann Music Group (BMG), Killer Tracks,
