Soundweaver Features

PRODUCE MORE ASSETS

Using keywords to power SOUNDWEAVER’s powerful randomization feature, you can produce assets quickly and efficiently. With variations automatically marked and accepted assets easily locked into place, the app works its magic in divining new layers for further customization.

READY-TO-USE SOUND SESSIONS

Create custom sound design sessions with ready-to-use combinations. Snapshots allow you to save your preferred edits and easily compare them to each other and to new experiments.

GENERATE VARIATIONS WITH EASE

Using SOUNDWEAVER with BOOM Library sounds can’t be easier. Almost every BOOM Library Construction Kit asset has several variations included in a single file. SOUNDWEAVER reads these variations and displays them as single files, allowing you to switch between them with ease.

TRUE DRAG AND DROP

SOUNDWEAVER is a sound design environment that doesn’t replace the DAW or video editor, but is designed to work alongside it. Effortlessly drag and drop audio assets from either kind of app and weave your magic with them. When you’re done, simply press “Prepare for Drag & Drop” and drag the newly prepared asset directly into your project.

NEW: VST / AU SUPPORT

Now, with SOUNDWEAVER 1.3, you can use your VST plugin effects inside the app.
Not only can you endlessly and creatively layer your sounds, but you can morph and bend them in any way imaginable.

USE CASES

• Produce more assets and increase productivity on tight schedules
• Set up your sound design session with ready-to-use sound combinations
• Generate variations with ease instead of manually tweaking everything
• Find new combinations, discover and create new flavors and variety within your library

What does SoundWeaver do?

SOUNDWEAVER automates and randomizes certain parts of your sound design workflow.

• SoundWeaver searches your sound library with the help of keywords or folder paths and picks matching sounds for your project.
• Sounds are automatically sorted, grouped, layered, aligned, and split into regions (if files contain multiple variations).
• Now you can pitch, offset, gain, shuffle, and randomize individual sounds, groups, or the whole project.  The possibilities are endless.
• Take snapshots of your favorite combinations and settings. Create as many snapshots as you like and return to them later in the process.
• Drag’n’drop the project into your DAW for further editing or export the final mix.
• SoundWeaver can generate countless variations from your project during export via pitch, offset and take randomization.

HOW SOUNDWEAVER HELPS YOUR WORKFLOW

MORE VARIETY ON TIGHT SCHEDULES

We all know the situation: A client has asked for 100 new sound assets, 10 variations each, delivered as soon as possible.  Creating variations in particular requires a lot of meticulous pitching, shifting, and switching out elements within your original design.  With just a few commands, SoundWeaver will automate all of those time-consuming steps for you and generate as many suggestions as you like – so all that’s left for you to do is have a quick listen and keep the ones you like best.  Focus on your creative process while SoundWeaver takes care of the rest.

INSPIRATION THROUGH NEW COMBINATIONS

Speaking of the creative process: Once your library has grown beyond a certain point, there is only so much experimenting you can do manually. SoundWeaver’s powerful Randomize feature often generates combinations we’d never think of trying in the first place.  This opens up a world of new possibilities and is a great way of starting a project.  Already have an idea? Tell SoundWeaver to build on it and create different flavors.  Starting empty-handed? Let SoundWeaver set up your session by putting all layers in place.  Done, but missing that special something? Try out more unlikely sounds with just a few clicks.
