At the heart of VoiceJam is a powerful audio looper. An audio looper works by recording sounds you make while playing them back in a repeating loop.

That’s just the beginning. VoiceJam was designed from the ground up to be a live performance tool. You’ll be able to perform and record an entire masterpiece from scratch, using only the sounds you can create with your voice or with the objects in your world.
