Soundtrap: Music Making Studio

There is so much I want to say about Soundtrap that I don’t think I could type it all if I tried. I have been making music on Soundtrap for over 2 and a half years now and I just need to say that this app is absolutely beautiful. I have experimented with every single feature on the app from loops to effects to the abundance of instruments and all the other small features that glue a song together. They are phenomenal. Everything is so simple and straightforward, but you can also get pretty technical with it if needed. I’m currently transitioning to FL Studio at the moment because I am starting to hit it big with some rappers. (FL is way more powerful but you really need to know what you’re doing to make a good beat) Soundtrap will always have a special place in my heart, as countless hour of my middle school career have been spent on the site. All love to Soundtrap ❤️❤️❤️

I don’t know whatever update you guys did with the studio on the desktop version, but it is single-handedly destroying my progress of making mashups. First, The studio now requires me to import music files manually, something nobody should ever think of doing when casually creating content. Second, your so-called, “auto save” feature, takes forever to sync, and keeps me trapped in the studio. I shouldn’t be forced to stay in a studio of one of my mashups being held hostage by an “auto save” feature, that works less than the original save button that blessed the studio! Which reminds me about my final point. Even if I do hit save and leave, it won’t let me leave, unless I leave without saving. Now I thought that, since it’s already saved, it should be safe to leave without saving since that’s what I just did. But man, oh man, was I wrong. It doesn’t only save your progress, but CORRUPTS it after I come back in! As someone who’s been using this program, and has been a mashup maker for 2 years, I know that YOU should know better than to release an update, that causes more problems than it’s supposed to fix! Please, please, PLEASE! I’m begging you to fix this problem, please bring back the drag and drop feature, remove the auto save feature, and bring back the tried and true save button! Not just for me, but for the sake of others who are just as passionate as me about this situation, and can’t do anything about it. I hope you can help out and do something about this, and I’m also hoping that others who have this same problem read this as a sign to take action, because it surely can’t be only me having this problem. Is it…?

As one of my quarantine activities during the pandemic, my choir director and high school friends organized an alumni reunion for our acappella group using the Soundtrap software. After a confusing setup on PC, being able to listen to the tracks, and finally recording my vocals on my iPhone, I was stunned that I got an error message saying that my audio was “too high quality” and that other background apps needed to be closed so this would work off my iPhone. I’ve since heeded that advice and gotten a brand new iPhone 11, which of its 128GB I’m only using about 30GB. There shouldn’t be a single issue with recording and uploading this audio, and yet the SAME ISSUE prevails! When I playback the audio, it’s fine for about 20 seconds, then it breaks for no apparent reason, causing the audio to go out of sync. My PC has been in and out for repairs for the past month and a half, so I’m down to this brand new device that can’t even sufficiently do its job! I’ve tried combing the internet for a solution and nothing is clear, so all I have left to do now is leave a scathing review! It’s not a problem with the software, it works fine on PC, but whoever set it to iOS needs to fix it soon! UPDATE: It’s November, this app STILL won’t properly playback any of my tracks or upload audio recorded in-app, AND my review rating was somehow changed from 1 to 5 stars. This is truly disgraceful and unbelievable. Again, I love this platform, it works great on PC or Mac, but the iOS app is absolute GARBAGE and SoundTrap STILL REFUSES TO FIX IT!!!
