May 2, 2018THE JAMSTIK WORKS WITH SOUNDTRAP!
We’re excited to announce the integration of the jamstik with Soundtrap—an online music studio that operates directly in your Google Chrome browser!
Our friends at Soundtrap decided that music-making and recording should be much easier, and we agree. You shouldn’t have to be a studio technician in order to make music with high audio quality.
In fact, more and more professional musicians are utilizing their smartphones and laptops to produce and record their music—Check out this post on how Kendrick Lamar’s producer, Steve Lacy, creates music on his iPhone.
HOW DO I GET STARTED WITH SOUNDTRAP?
If you go to Soundtrap.com and create a login, you’ll get access to your very own online music studio with an extensive collection of software instruments and loops. Soundtrap offers an open community where you can share creative moments and collaborate with friends in real-time.
There are different levels of studio packages designed to meet your needs, including Basic (free), Pro, Premium, Supreme and EDU packages*. Check out this page to see a breakdown and choose which studio is right for you—Soundtrap even offers a trial option so you can make sure you love the online music studio before committing!
*If using Soundtrap in your classroom with students, please visit Soundtrap.com/edu for our COPPA/FERPA compliant product that is designed and tailored for collaborative audio recording in a safe, controlled digital environment.
HOW DO I CONNECT THE JAMSTIK TO SOUNDTRAP?
Your jamstik can connect to Chrome via USB or Bluetooth MIDI, and you can get started right away. (Just in case you need to refresh your memory on connecting the jamstik+ to a Mac via Bluetooth, this 45 second video spells out the details: https://youtu.be/XDovlG0tUEI)
If you’ve used other recording software, Soundtrap has a very familiar interface that’s easy to understand. If you’ve never used a DAW, Soundtrap is very easy to get started and has plenty of tutorials, videos, FAQ’s, and support to assist you along the way.
WHAT DEVICES WILL SOUNDTRAP WORK WITH?
It’s important to note that Soundtrap’s jamstik+ integration works best on a Mac or PC using Google Chrome. Soundtrap also works standalone (without the jamstik) on Mac, Windows, iPad, iPhone, Android phones and tablets, Linux and Chromebooks.
All of your projects are stored in the cloud, and you can access them wherever you are.
CAN I EXPORT SOUNDTRAP FILES TO OTHER DAWS?
Yes! Soundtrap is interoperable with DAWs through MIDI File Export so you can send an entire song, or parts of your composition to other software, like GarageBand or ProTools.
