Soundation has announced the integration of its DAW into ModeAudio’s pages, allowing users to mix and manipulate samples from ModeAudio’s library prior to purchasing them.
Soundation is initially integrated into five ModeAudio sample packs, with more likely to come. On the ModeAudio site, when users find a sample pack they like, they can click a button to launch a window with a predesigned pattern in Soundation’s DAW, and from there, they can listen to and mix the samples in trial runs.
“We’ve long wished to allow our visitors to try out our drum samples, in-browser, before deciding if a pack is right for them, which our Soundation integration makes entirely possible,” says Niall McCallum, director at ModeAudio.com. “Beatmaker is an exciting tool that opens up our sample packs to users for an instant taste of their singular percussive firepower!”
ModeAudio has used Soundation’s new instrument, Beatmaker, to load a beat pattern based on its packs and show the pack samples in a sidebar. Beatmaker is designed to simplify creating a beat through an interface that turns sounds into blocks. Users tap a block to add the sound, and manipulate other sounds to their liking. Samples, including those purchased through ModeAudio, can be uploaded for mixing.
“This is a great milestone for music tech companies offering samples and plugins, as integrating a DAW expands the customer experience for producers and musicians,” adds Soundation CEO Adam Hasslert. “Experimenting with sound is the first step to audio production, and we have made it easier to get customers started with this as they test new samples. Now any site can get their own DAW supported by Soundation.”
Companies can also customize how Soundation’s DAW will work on their site or app, deciding what region to load with which instrument, what sample packs to show the sidebar, and much more. They can also design custom product tours for each use case. Users then drag in their own samples, loops, and MIDI to test the samples before making a purchase decision.
ModeAudio sample packs for evaluation include: Crush LoFi Drum Samples, Metalwork Found Percussion Samples, and Vinyl Drums Vintage Drum Samples.
