Things to Know #
Soundtrap is an online DAW, or Digital Audio Workstation, that allows users to create and interact with audio files. Like most DAWs, Soundtrap has the ability to create and play several audio tracks at one time. Audio within these tracks can have their relative volume adjusted or effects applied to them.
Soundtrap offers tools such as splicing, looping, some prerecorded audio loops, and a variety of simulated instruments, as well as MIDI or musical instrument digital interface support. With these tools, users can combine and fine-tune multiple audio files to make songs, audio projects, or simply record and fine-tune voice-over or narration. Additional effects and loops are available with a paid subscription.
