What is Droidsound?

Droidsound is a free and open source digital audio workstation and MIDI sequencer app designed for Android operating systems. Originally released in 2011 by developer Extreamer, Droidsound has become popular for Android-based music production due to its fully featured toolset and low cost.

As a DAW, Droidsound enables multi-track audio recording at up to 32-bit/192 kHz quality through the Android device's built-in mic or external USB audio interfaces. It comes equipped with a 32-track MIDI sequencer supporting both real-time and step recording. The app includes selection of editing tools like an arranger timeline editor, piano roll editor, score editor, and automation lanes for tweaking effect parameters and synth controls over time.

Droidsound supports third-party VST instrument and effect plugins to expand its sounds and processing capabilities. It comes bundled with a few basic synth, drums, and effects as well as MIDI learn functionality for mapping hardware controllers. The mixer page offers standard DAW channel strip components like faders, panning, solo/mute, insert fx, and analog-styled level metering.

While not as fully featured as desktop counterparts like Ableton Live or FL Studio, Droidsound provides an incredibly capable free music production environment for Android users and mobile composers on the go looking to write tracks and experiment with ideas without being tied to a laptop and studio setup.
