Critic Reviews

We Tested 3 Online Music Creation Tools You Can Try In 2023: Soundful, Soundtrap + Soundation - DJ TechTools

djtechtools.com

Soundation offers a solid browser-based DAW experience with intuitive features for beginners and real-time collaboration. Its Beatmaker tool stands out for quick beat creation, but it lacks third-party plugin support, which limits its potential for seasoned producers. While its library is diverse, the absence of a dedicated mixer window is a notable drawback compared to traditional DAWs. Overall, Soundation is a viable entry point for new musicians, but it might fall short for those accustomed to more comprehensive desktop software.

Soundation Review (The Online DAW Of Choice?)

producerhive.com

Soundation offers a user-friendly, web-based DAW perfect for beginners or casual music-makers looking for a fun and easy way to create tracks. With a simple drag-and-drop interface, extensive loop library, and tutorials, it breaks down barriers for newcomers. However, its limited compatibility with only Google Chrome and lack of advanced features make it less appealing for seasoned producers. Its various pricing tiers, including a free option, make it accessible, though the higher plans offer more storage and loops. While it may not match the depth of Logic or Ableton, for those seeking simplicity and convenience, Soundation is a solid choice.

"What I used to make all my music from about June 2021 to May 2022. I then took a break, resuming usage in August 2022."

Preferred Settings + Usage:

"I use the Thrashy 808 preset on almost all of my jungle/breakcore tracks."
