FAQ

What is Soundation Studio?
A web based sequencer application, with loops, effects and virtual instruments.

What are the benefits of a web application?
No installing software, dongles or update issues. Plus you can use Soundation Studio directly without purchasing anything first.

Can I use these sounds to make production or library music? 
Yes.

Soundation doesn't work on my old Mac. Why is that?
Soundation does not support PPC Macs. It works perfectly fine on Intel based Macs though.

If I make a song in Soundation Studio with the included loops, can I sell it commercially without asking Soundation for permission or sharing royalties?
Yes, anything you create in Soundation is your production, the only exception is you cannot transfer, upload, share, give or sell any of the isolated or individual sound files. They are licensed to you to use in your productions but not to give away, upload or sell as individual loops or samples.

Can I publish my finished song to my blog or social networking website like Facebook?
Yes.

How do I do this?
Mixdown your song and choose "Publish to web". Your song will then be converted mp3 format and uploaded to our servers. The generated link will point you to your uploaded song.

Where do the sounds come from?
PowerFX. We have been producing samples for over 10 years. You have probably heard our sounds on productions from Timbaland, Jay-Z, BMW, CNN, SVT or on products like Apple's GarageBand, Logic or Cakewalk's Dimension Sampler, Propellerheads REASON Strings, Ableton Live, MOTU or in SanDisk´s Ring Tone Creator. We have recorded great players and used the services of some the universe's best producers and sound developers.

How can I import other loops into Soundation Studio?
Any sounds purchased from the Soundation Sound Shop are directly imported to your account and accessible in your “Bought Sounds” folder inside Soundation Studio, which you receive with your purchase. It also serves as an online backup. Also, personal sounds and songs can be imported into the sequencer via a Soundation Audio Locker.

What is the Soundation Audio Locker?
An account that includes storage space on the Soundation "cloud" server that allows you to backup files on your own personal space so you can access these files from anywhere. You can import audio files you have stored in your Audio Locker into Soundation Studio to be accessible in “My Files”.

Can I import a MP3 song to Remix in Soundation Studio?
You can import a song into Soundation Studio via AudioLocker, but it must be a .wav file. Soundation Studio currently reads .wav files only.
