Add Option to Choose FX Sounds for Songs

Feature Request

It would be awesome if Songer had a built-in way to add FX sounds and effects to songs - things like fireworks, impacts, transitions, ambient textures, etc.

Right now I've tried tagging with things like [Fireworks], [Fireworks FX], and other effect names, but there's no reliable way to control what FX get added.

A dropdown menu or dedicated FX panel where you could browse and apply sound effects would make it much easier to add polish to tracks without having to layer them in manually.

    Live Ambiente

    it would be niche to have some live ambiente like club audience or festival audience. Also sing along interaction withe the audiences.

    One more statement, removing a particular instrument, ie., banjo, accordian, or whatever. If you don’t like the instrument, don’t add it.

    It’s a lot like removing an entire color off a painters’ palette. What is the artist supposed to do with that now useless palette? Just one perspective.

    I am in complete agreement. If you have added a “placeholder” for SFX, why not get a library and add it to either a drop down list to choose from, or make them bracketed.

    Also, if you drop an alphabetized list, sorted by type of tag, it would save valuable time in creating lyrics and adding them with a click.

    I realize there are a lot of tags to some of these, but it would be helpful. (With the brackets already typed with the tag).

    Hi! There isn’t a built-in feature for adding FX sounds like fireworks right now.

    You can try prompting with tags such as the ones you mentioned, but the result isn’t guaranteed. I’ll treat your post as a feature request for hits/FX sounds so we can keep track of that interest.

      Please, sooner rather than later.

      I must currently use a DAW or some external mixer and that mix is not EQ’d like the original song, so more work must be done.

      If you add a drop down list (with brackets included) on every tag, (Including a database of sound FX) the creation progress of lyrics and creation of songs will have a much better flow. Thanks. Brackets seem to be a ‘finger nightmare’ for some.

      PS: Can we get a definitive answer before 2 MORE months have passed?

        Thanks for following up, and I hear you on wanting a smoother flow.

        There isn't a fixed list of tags or commands, and that's by design: prompting is open-ended, so you can type in almost anything. A set list would limit what you're able to try rather than help. The trade-off is that results aren't guaranteed. Generation is probabilistic, so some tags land more reliably than others, and the same tag won't always behave the same way from one song to the next.

        On the dropdown and FX database idea: it's a useful suggestion, and it stays logged as a feature request so the team can track the interest. I can't share a timeline yet, but it's on the radar.
