It works incredibly well and sports 4 analyzer modes of the frequency spectrum.ĭespite the studio’s overall positive attributes, it is not immune to certain criticisms.


One of which is the Parametric EQ, which is an 8-band equalizer that is available to premium users. However, the studio has spawned some notable features that are very powerful, especially for a web-based DAW. Most of the tools serve as the basic building blocks for production (most DAWs would include similar instruments and effects as stock plugins to provide the user with the bare necessities), such as a standard GM-2, essential effects (reverb, compression, delay, etc) and a synthesizer that is literally named ‘Simple Synth’ with four oscillators and standard attack/decay/sustain/release variability. Some being better than others, these appliances provide a music maker with all the necessary ingredients to put a decent sounding track together. Soundation’s tools, instruments/synthesizers, and effects are relatively good quality. It is surprisingly powerful for a web-based DAW and is the reason a lot of people have gotten into music production, including many signed Cryptic Coast artists (artists that have released with the label, artists scheduled for release, and artists that are supported by Cryptic Coast in general) and followers. Over the years, it has amassed almost 4 million registered accounts and a thriving community. It was created in 2009 for the purposes of giving anyone with an internet connection the ability to make music online. Soundation is a web-based, digital audio workstation.
