Useful ambient music tool

Great for providing background ambient drones which you can then export as audio to layer other tracks onto. Just lacks integration options so interested in seeing how DroneLab Pro improves on things.

Soundscape Heaven

Brilliant, love it!

No auv3 or IAA?!?

Great lil drone app, but lacks compatibility. Would be 5 stars if it worked as an auv3 or even IAA. The whole process of having to record/export is a drag, and I would love to apply some wild effects to this thing while tweaking its parameters rather than messing with a static wave file.

AUv3 is what we need

I just purchased it to convince the developer to add AUv3 support. That would make it perfect…

Nice and simple

I wish there was auv3 support and an attack/decay or slide setting, anything to make the transition when changing root note less abrupt.

Needs more flexibility

Pleas include a switch for the sound effect, better allow custom sound effects

Good, but missing AUv3

Promising start for this ambient soundscape app. It's intuitive and capable of good sounds. Would get five stars if it had AUv3, so it could be loaded in AUM, Cubasis etc to add additional effects and mix with other synths. At the moment the only possibility is to export as audio and import the audio as a file player in AUM, which is rather inflexible.

Useful app but could be better with more development

This app sounds great and I can use it’s sounds in my music but not quite as easily as if it was AUM or Audiobus compatible.
I can record a tracks worth of Drone sounds and then play the file in AUM but It would be so much easier and tweakable if it could be loaded as an instrument. That way further effect apps could be added and a soundscape could be created on the fly.
Also an x/y filter pad would really make this app sing and offer up more textures to play with. If it had a little more functionality It’d be worth the 5 stars and a little more money 😊

Love , I hope you make more apps

This is definitely one of my favorite purchases in the App Store .

Nice but….

Nice idea. Simple. Good Sound. But no auv3 support.

really nice short droner!

I like it! If it had AuV3 I would give 5 stars, I need to put it into AUM or Audiobus! II wouldn’t mind if Auv3 would be an in-App purchase…

Needs a bit more utility

It drones yes, but consider adding these two features and I think it would be five stars.
1. More varied sound sources for all three drones.
2. MIDI implementation to drive other auv3 apps. This way the user could use their own choice of synth to drone with.

Fantastic App!

I teach all instrument families, brass, strings, woodwinds, percussion. I teach beginners as well as improvisation. This is a fantastic app for musicians of every level to develop listening, intonation, improvisation skills, all of it. Thank you so much!

Nice

Really like this, its perfect for playing around with ambient soundscapes.
Would really like to see some compatability with either Audiobus or AUM as unless I'm missing it (and thats very possible, I'm not that experienced..) I don't see any way to mix it with other synth's to create that killer ambient jam.. :)
Nice though, still a cool app.

Has potential but needs more variety

I was disappointed in the lack of variety. You can make your own presets but the options for sounds and range of notes is very limited. I need a good pad sound creation tool. This app has potential but needs more variety. As a paid app, it falls short of the mark.

So nice!

Thanks for the iPad version. Great app!

Very cool app

Hey! Thank you so much for adding iPad compatibility and keeping the app up to date!

This is definitely a very good app to have if you’re into sound experimentation and like drone sounds. It has a ton of adjustable parameters and is definitely not a toy (although it’s easy to get lost playing with it)

Perfect

Also doubles perfectly as the best sleep/concentration/space out/zen app on the store. I’ve been putting this on much more than Spotify here lately.

If you read this dev, if you plan to keep developing it, more sound options are always nice. Namely, for each section:

1) Pure sawtooth wave. No one can deny the beating of two detuned unison saws.
2) A third oscillator to the chord section.
3) A gentle, moderately rolling sample and hold filtered noise

Thanks for this!

Making me a better musician

I’m a guitar player and I’ve never really practiced with drones before. I saw a YouTube video on how beneficial this form of practice is so I decided to give it a try. The very next day one of the electronic music groups that I follow on Facebook posted this app. So I bought it and downloaded and tried it out. It’s perfect. I wish it had more sounds but that’s really a nitpick. What it has is fine and it does the job well. I see that it was released four years ago. I wish I found out about it for years ago.
