A great tool for helping make beats in a pinch.
09/02/2023

The Complex AKM
This app can help you generate the bones for great beats, and I like to use it as an assistive tool (rather than just generating a beat and calling it good)! I really like the interface, and the sound set is very good. I appreciate how you can just switch out the sounds easily and quickly, without it changing the melody, and I like how it’s not just pulling loops from a pool. I do want at least a little more say in what the beat sounds like; Sometimes I like the beat a lot, except for one thing. It’d be cool if there was a piano roll function where you could add, remove, and edit notes. Then I’d be able to make some custom things as well, while still using the amazing sound set that’s included in this app.As far as assistive creation tools go, I like this one a lot!

Thank you for the feedback and awesome to have you onboard with us!We will look into the editing possibilities although we have focused on the idea generation side, leaving the fine editing capabilities to dedicated tools, DAWs.

Export function is broken

Honestly loved of organized the old design was and how you had better controls of what you wanted to keep and do with it. This new update was a change in look which I saw was for an aesthetic change but at the price of usefulness. You can’t simplify the parts, can’t mix how loud they are anymore, can’t change the syncopation nor make it export without crashing over and over and when you finally get it to export something like your separated drum midi with multitrack stems in wav and midi, it doesn’t export the whole 11 files even when you try to put it on google drive or simply to save onto your device. This new update came at the cost of 90% of what I liked and used this app for. It was useful and organized. Well put together and made sense with actual functioning things not just aesthetic. Can this please be fixed. I’m actually incredibly disappointed and I’ve been a customer with a premium subscription with them for almost a whole year. Almost uninstalled the app because of this new update.

Thank you for the feedback! We just spotted an issue where audio stems export crashes the app when there are muted tracks or tracks. This is now fixed and a new version with this is going live asap.Sorry for the inconvenience and great to have you onboard with us!

Really Handy for my music creation

I love this app overall and it’s very helpful to be able to listen to a progression in different styles. My only gripes are:Not having a way to import an already written out chord progression (even if it’s just text like C, F, G, C) so that I don’t always have to manually adjust them.Only being able to rearrange chords in “lock chord progression” by dragging one at a time and how once you add a couple sections worth of chords the chord boxes zoom too much and are only able to show “…”I do realize though that the purpose of songen might not be to put a full song’s progression all in one file. I figured the process was probably meant to be: verse progression song, chorus progression song, outro progression song and then group then under a playlist together. It would just be handy if under “lock chord progression” you could maybe have the ability to create progression groups. The reason I’d like that is so the app could mess with the arrangement of the entire progression at once. But those are just convenience issues. Incredibly helpful app though!

THIS IS HOT HOWEVER—-*MUST READ BEAT GEN ALGOS*HMMM

I understand that this app works off of algorithms and I think this app is really dope however when I think of algorithms I think of not to beat be in the same from two different people at two different times in the world maybe maybe not I guess algorithms are algorithms some of the beats are generated I Shazam them another words looked them up and found several different beats and artists wrapping on the same EXACT beat… I was really hoping more original algorithm…I was going to give it four stars until that but now that I’m thinking that and I wish I could upload at least my own samples like at least one for each track for the one I want to use like the four tracks bass drum lead chord etc… and then to pay this subscription every month it just blew my mind to think that I had generated something that I thought would be Original..

Thank you for the elaborate feedback! We have put lots of effort to find the sweet spot between distinquishable genres and out-of-this-world sounds. Songen aims to help music producers to create the kind of music people enjoy listening while introducing a level of variation that keeps the music within given genre. As an example, lots of popular music incorporate exact same chord progressions reused over and over again as it's something people enjoy listening.The app generates everything with algorithms and does not contain any premade loops under the hood."Bring your own samples" feature is an interesting suggestion and is well aligned with the core idea of the app. We will look into it!
