Zoundroom
Zoundroom is a workspace for artists to collect and develop music in progress, keeping projects, lyrics, recordings, notes, and collaborators together. A project can represent a song, EP, or album, with cover art, custom tags, and filters for names, tags, or file types. Users can record audio, import common audio formats, and upload PDFs such as sheet music, lyrics, tablature, or chords. Notes support colored text and sections, and can keep a recording alongside a lyric. An AI assistant offers chord, lyric, structure, rhyme, and synonym suggestions tailored through an artist questionnaire. Collaborators can join through a one-time code and comment at timestamps on audio, though invitees need a Zoundroom account. The Free Plan allows two active projects and sharing with up to two artists. Pro is €4.99 a month, billed €59.99/year with annual payment; Band is €12.49 a month, billed €149.99/year. Mobile and browser versions sync under one account; the browser app works on macOS or Windows computers. Zoundroom does not mix or master music or replace a production environment.
