Echotopia is an innovative audio editor, focusing on the art and the science of soundscapes
Watch how various locations of a medieval village scene, come together to create a complex soundscape that can be experienced from any point on the map.
Echotopia’s intuitive interface allows looping textures, randomized oneshots, and real-time acoustics simulation, to be easily layered and configured in – literally – seconds.
Echotopia’s innovative approach is based on the idea that any software application should be easy to be used by amateurs and powerful enough for professionals.
Like the digital camera revolution that made photography accessible to anyone and ignited the spark for a new wave of photographers, Echotopia’s mission is to democratize sound design and soundscape creation.
A new era dawns, where the old meets the new, and the stochastic meets the deterministic. From their fusion, exciting new ways to use sound in our lives emerge. Echotopia stands in the vanguard of those new acoustics landscapes that await to be discovered by you and experienced by all.
Designing and producing immersive soundscapes becomes easy using Echotopia.
Echotopia’s specialized philosophy and workflows make it a breeze to brainstorm, prototype, and fabricate rich acoustic environments to perform or render to a target of standard or immersive audio formats.
Echotopia uses a map to define the areas with different sound behaviors in them. This simple-yet-novel method to topographically represent your designed world creates an intuitive way to design the acoustic environment in a fast and natural way.
Areas with different sound behaviors can be defined and managed easily using sound emission zones, fade zones, and acoustics, to create believable acoustic environments.
Just like in music, Echotopia uses specialized instruments to compose the sound of an area. Those instruments mimic different sound behaviors from nature.
Loopers play from simple noise textures and drones to complete recordings, and Randomizers can be added on top to scatter random oneshots around. More instruments are coming, check the roadmap.
Freely layer as many instruments as needed to one area, to achieve any level of complexity. Achieve real or sureal results without compromising the acoustic behaviors that make the environment believable.
Echotopia is the only soundscape app that really uses acoustics simulation under the hood. Distance, temperature, humidity, reverberation, and occlusion from walls, all are taken into account and are open to configuration.
This opens up so many creative possibilities that we need a book to cover them all. Just imagine that you can have 20 different soundscapes using only one set of sounds and various areas with different acoustics.
Plus, the acoustics in Echotopia work using impulse response files, which are freely available on the internet and we also include many in the factory content. Your next dungeon ambience can have authentic acoustics.
At the heart of Echotopia runs a full 3D audio mixing engine designed using cutting-edge technologies from the field of immersive audio production.
Any content input is automatically up-mixed or down-mixed to spread around the experience point, and the final output can be set from stereo to the latest multichannel surround formats, ensuring the maximum envelopment of the audience.
Use any channel format as input and get any channel format as output without having to mess with tedious settings, just focus on creativity and Echotopia will mix an industry-standard experience fit for any use, from hobbyists at home to professionals at a post-production facility.
The Storyteller, Creator, and Producer editions of Echotopia come with all our royalty-free curated sound libraries.
Currently containing more than 38.000 original sounds, made with great care.
You get environmental loops, ambience atmospheres, oneshots, Foley, special effects, and impulse responses for reverb and occlusion.
You can use them with Echotopia or import them into your video editor, music sampler, or game engine, and create using great-sounding assets.
Don’t forget that Echotopia is an open audio editor, you are still free to import your own sounds for the ultimate in creative freedom!

On post-production, use Echotopia to export any location’s soundscape in various industry-standard formats to import into NLEs and DAWs and use them in the final cut.
Game designers, developers, level editors, and virtual world builders can use Echotopia to brainstorm, prototype, and produce soundscapes for the game or extended reality experiences. Use your level maps to directly create the acoustic environment of the world you’re designing and export the final soundscapes to include them in your final build.
Game masters and players of TTRPGs and LARPGs can now create a believable ambience of professional quality using an intuitive and very easy map editor. Transform your game room into an immersive entertainment space, stream live online, or export the sounds and use them with your favorite VTT platform or mobile player.

That’s easy.
First of all, you should know that all editions contain the Echotopia editor application with all features. The only difference is the content that comes together. And actually, all editions with content do include all our curated sound libraries (currently more than 38000 sounds of every type and genre), and the only difference between them is the format and resolution of the files and the channel formats available (stereo, surround, ambisonic).
As a good practice, you should download the free trial edition to test Echotopia in your setup.
Then choose an edition according to your needs:
Each edition also includes the sound libraries and formats of the lower editions, so you don’t have to convert anything for lower-resolution needs. We took care of this for you using our state-of-the-art mastering pipeline.
Sure you can!
We understand that creative projects cannot happen in a vacuum and creators use a variety of tools and platforms to achieve the desired outcome.
Therefore we offer the sound content that comes together with the Echotopia editor in common formats that any other application can open.
You can import them into video editors, game engines, music instruments, and any other application or platform you like.
You can use the content to create videogames, movies, VR experiences, toys, interactive experiences, installations, music productions, tutorials, streaming shows, audio/radio dramas, and more.
We only forbid the use of the content for the creation of other software, tools, music instruments, and other soundware that would be a conflict of interest between us and you the creator. You also cannot use, distribute, or broadcast our content as isolated ambience loops and soundscapes or isolated elements in the form of content libraries, music albums, or streaming content for use as standalone audio or within an audio player.

It all started when we decided not to make Echotopia a subscription-based product, but at the same time to offer our huge collection of royalty-free sound libraries with it.
We needed to find the best solution so that the user will not need to download hundreds of gigabytes in one go, and simultaneously use a service that doesn’t charge us per month. That way, Echotopia could remain a subscription-free product, just the way we like it.
The only way to do this was to create an online place where the user can browse all the content and choose what is needed and to put a limit on the times that each package can be downloaded.
A happy outcome of this philosophy is that this is also a green and eco-friendly way to manage downloads in general, as the user downloads only the needed assets. This minimizes the carbon footprint a lot, in contrast with other vendors that dump you a dropbox archive with unedited terabytes for you to download.
We fight against the mindless digital hoarding disorder that is menacing the internet, and we support mindful creators that care for more than themselves.
To save resources you should always back up the original downloads to a second hard drive, and never work on the original files.
