Sonalogue
Every sound you own. Found in seconds. Shaped in one click.
Sonalogue is a sound library app for people who work with sound. Point it at your folders and it builds a searchable library of everything inside, from a lifetime of samples to last week’s field recordings. Find the sound you need, hear it instantly, fix it, shape it and drag it straight into your project.
Coming soon for Mac and Windows.
Drag any edit straight out of the app into your DAW or any folder. Your originals are never changed.
Shape
Change speed and pitch separately or together like tape. Add fades, reverse, normalize, maximize, and a 10-band EQ you hear live while you drag. Place any sound in a church, an airport, a phone line or behind a neighbor’s wall.
Repair
Remove hiss, hum, rumble and background noise with one click. Open the spectrogram, box or paint a cough, click or ring, and heal it away as if it was never there.
Create
Describe a sound and generate it. It lands in your library, tagged and ready.
Version 0.13.1
All features
Library
- Add any folders. Every subfolder is scanned, and very large libraries (hundreds of thousands of files) are handled.
- Reads WAV, AIFF, MP3, FLAC, OGG, M4A and more.
- Remembers your folders. Startup is quick because only what changed is checked.
- Watches your folders, so new, changed and deleted sounds update on their own.
- Collapsible folder tree.
- Right-click a folder to refresh it, detect key and tempo there, show only that folder, or show it in Explorer (Finder on Mac). F5 refreshes the selected folder.
- Shows length, sample rate, bit depth, channels and size for every file.
- Favorites, and your own tags on one sound or on every sound shown at once.
- Home button to jump back to the full library.
Search and browse
- Searches names, folders, tags, keys and tempo.
- Forgives typos and suggests “Did you mean”.
- Filters by type, key, BPM range, tag and favorites.
- Browse with the arrow keys and hear each sound instantly, with autoplay on or off.
Key and tempo (optional)
- Off by default. Turned on per folder.
- Detects musical key and BPM by listening, in the background.
- Keys and tempos written in file names or tags take priority.
- Results are kept.
Playback and views
- Play, stop, seek, loop and volume. Click anywhere on the sound to play from there.
- Zoomable waveform, spectrogram, or both together.
- Select any part by dragging, adjust the edges, or select everything with Ctrl+A (Cmd+A on Mac).
Editing
- Speed and pitch changed separately, or together like tape.
- Volume, fade in, fade out, reverse and normalize.
- Maximizer with a look-ahead limiter that makes sounds louder without clipping, with an adjustable ceiling.
- Place it: 17 spaces with an adjustable amount. Examples are a room, a church, an airport, behind a neighbor’s wall, on a telephone, an old radio, a megaphone, far away outside and underwater.
- A warning appears if the result would clip.
Clean
- One-click presets: reduce background noise, remove hiss, remove hum and buzz, remove rumble, and clean up voice.
- Hum is detected automatically at 50 or 60 Hz, and only the overtones actually present are cut.
- A strength slider sets how far noise is pushed down.
- Learn noise from a selection, or let the app estimate it.
Graphic EQ
- 10 bands from 31 Hz to 16 kHz, from −12 to +12 dB, drawn over the spectrum.
- You hear changes live while you drag. Double-click resets a band, and Flat resets all of them.
- Can be bypassed to compare, and your settings stay.
Spectral repair
- Box and Brush tools on the spectrogram, with an adjustable brush size and Shift to add to the selection.
- Heal rebuilds the area from its surroundings. It’s best for coughs, clicks, squeaks, knocks and rings.
- Remove silences the area. Reduce turns it down by 6, 12 or 20 dB.
- Plays back right after each fix. Undo goes one step at a time, and Reset returns the original.
Analysis
- Live spectrum analyzer with peak hold.
- Hover to read frequency, musical note and level.
- Average spectrum of the whole sound or of your edit, to compare before and after.
Getting sounds out
- Drag the highlighted part straight out of the waveform into any folder or your DAW.
- Edited files are named after what was done to them, for example [dehiss], [eq] or [repaired].
- Originals are never changed.
- Quick edit: drop any sound file from anywhere to edit it without adding it to your library.
Sound generation
