Odysound - Spatial Soundscapes 4+

Incredible, and my ideal soundscape(s)

This is exactly the app I was looking for as a long fiction fantasy writer! Before I found this app, I would never write to soundscapes because I was overwhelmed by the choices. Odysound has an incredible, but simple collection of high-quality auditory environments which suit the speculative settings I write about! I also love that you can’t scroll back or forward which make these environments feel more real.

I would love to have a few more soundscapes available, because the existing ones are so great! I would also love to be able to listen to the current soundscape even while browsing the menu, which is currently not a feature. It would also be great to be able to organize saved soundscapes. Finally, a bonus feature could be dynamically selecting how low or high certain features are present in a soundscape (e.g., modulate how calm or violent the Pacific is).

My ideal soundscape would be one for a setting of mixed water- and land-dwelling creatures who are humanoid. This would sound like aquatic elements interacting with terrain elements, while occasionally delving into one or the other. There would also be elements of nature-based technology in the interacting environments-such as plants trained to open as doors or water currents conveying transportation. This sound world would be incredible to hear come to life!

Dream Soundscape

First off, my soul has been searching for the feel of a Dragon Ride since i picked up the first Game of Thrones book. The wind, the flaps of the wings, the groans and shrieks and roars of the beast that I am on were things I didn’t even know I was missing. The amount of detail that goes into each soundscape is so meticulous and full of things one might not even think of. Odysound truly has something for everyone.

Now, while I am a sucker for a good fantasy world, there’s nothing I love more in this world than being cozy. My favorite time of years is Christmas, to be surrounded with family and friends in an atmosphere filled to the brim with love. To be sitting on the couch, under a blanket, while the fire crackles gently in front of you. Laughter, the clinking of glasses, and the murmur of conversation are distant - far enough where each conversation has the privacy they require, but close enough you think you can pick up a few words here and there. Maybe some light white noise in the background from the snow falling. It’s a menagerie of sounds, but not one is too overbearing or out of place. The room is full of light and bright energy, and you know you are safe and loved.

Hi OliviaAmy324,

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We’re absolutely thrilled that “Dragon Ride” resonated with you and brought your fantasy dreams to life (Actually, Dragon Ride was one of the soundscapes proposed by one of our members who won a previous challenge). Your idea for a cozy, love-filled holiday soundscape is truly magical—we can almost hear the crackling fire and distant laughter. We appreciate your suggestion and will keep it in mind for future soundscapes. Thank you for being a part of our Odysound community!

Warm wishes,
The Odysound Team

Everything ive every needed to sleep to

I am a daily vivid and lucid dreamer and i can honestly say the depth of dreams i have been having since i subscribed has be indescribable, im talking full on scifi in depth dreams, my wife has even commented since i have been using this app to sleep with i snore less so its helping us both immensely and for that i am truly grateful. The biggest and most frustrating issue i am having atm is i keep getting a no internet connection error, and it wouldnt be rhat bad but its like evey time and im trying to just sleep and not have to worry. This is why only 3 stars because for me i am trying to relax and it makes it super frustrating, when i hit ok i lose connection but if i press nothing it keeps playing so i just dont understand. Just a suggestion i notice the music changes to energetic towards 6-7 am, maybe ifs just me that feels this way but i always wake up to birds chirpingish around this time, i know you have a timer but could we ad a time around when we would like to wake up and then the birds chirp to wake us up naturally. Also an option to mix different tracks, i know they play in a certain key but anyway you can can get the tracks to modulate into eachother? I know this review is rather winded and i thank you for taking the time to read. Keep the new tracks comming especially the scifi ones!! To anyone reading this and knowing weather or not it it worth it, trust me it is. Peace and happy lucid dreaming!!!!
