Tired of using music and some random sound fx from your player?

We got you covered!

DMDJ features a next-gen game audio engine that makes unique and never repetitive soundscapes. ecreate a vast amount of environmental scenes and sound fx, which will spice up your sessions and indulge your party into the world you have created for them. Choose the location, day or night setting, add some of the best sound fx around and choose the overall intensity level of the whole environment.

For example, with DMDJ you can create a horror mood by selecting the "Haunted Forest" environment preset, start at "low" intensity, change that to "medium" intensity and "night" while you are guiding your party to a crescendo and when ready, push the "high" intensity and play back a haunting "Distant Scream". Thats awesome!

Moreover, DMDJ allows you to import your own music tracks and play them on top of all the soundscapes and fx. And to spoil you, we added a vast collection of tracks from professional composers. DMDJ ships with more than 100 tracks covering all relevant genres. Dont ask how we got the deal for the price - we were young and innocent!

Reviews quotes:

"Within seconds of downloading, I constructed a soundscape consisting of a crowded city street with imperial horns for music accompaniment. Color me surprised at the quality of the music that comes with DMDJ; I typically expect default music to be the musical equivalent of clip art, but this is not the case."

"DMDJ is the best solution Ive found for engaging my tables senses to another level and the proof is in the pudding. The same players who thought music was distracting when Ive used it in the past came to the table last week asking, What, were not going to have music this week?…and so DMDJ became a regular feature at my table."

"I like DMDJ a lot. Its easy to use, offers a lot of bang for the buck and might be a great app to add that additional oomph to your games."

Pros and cons of DMDJ app for iPhone and iPad

DMDJ app good for

The list of sound effects, is very large ( you have over a dozen effects for foot steps, alone) and it is very easy to add favorites and a custom soundboard, and my only complaint is that it only works in portrait mode even when my iPad Pro is in landscape. Other than that, this app is great!

Good selection of sounds, high sound quality, etc. Id like to have the option to play the audio in the background so I can consult rules and save battery power. More sci-fi sounds like lasers, blasters, a few button sounds would be nice too.

This is the top cheese of any D&D software, and for free? Unbeatable. Thank you.

I love everything about this app. Well worth the money. Gives my campaigns that extra flavor. Please add background capability. I use multiple apps to organize my campaigns and I am forced to choose between music and tracking my encounters in another app. Other than that everything works fantastic.

So far Im loving the quality of this app, but I feel there are three things that are holding it back from being a solid 5-star: 1. Background capability: I use my iPad for referencing campaign notes, which creates odd moments of silence when I switch apps. As such, I run DMDJ from my iPhone, but this kills the battery since I cant turn the screen off. 2. Landscape on iPads: I feel like this is pretty self explanatory. Your website recommends using an iPad for a better overall experience. Most iPad cases orient the iPad in landscape. 3. A nice to have: iCloud backup the snapshots for easy transitioning between devices.

The one thing I would really love to see is the ability to pause the environmental music. Sometimes I just want to use the sound effects and its hard to even hear them properly over the environmental.

Some bad moments

The sounds are top quality. Needs a way to pause the ambient sounds and play only sound effects. I wish we could hotkey some of the sound clips or it would not go all the way back to the main menu after using. Right now it takes longer to find the FX than they last. Needs to be able to play while minimized.

I took a chance on this app hoping that it would provide me with situational music for our DnD campaign, turns out the music doesnt change when you change environments. Its one generic tune the whole time.

Very useful app but hard to use on my iPad when it is standing in landscape mode on its folded cover stand as the app only displays in portrait mode.

I dont think this is iPad3 ready, weird stuff with screen (new resolution, but button placement is locked to a different resolution) and so is currently unusable!

I was expecting much more. There are only a few groups to choose from and each group only has around 3 - 5 types of sounds. Many of the sounds do not fit into D&D gameplay, and a lot of them are more annoying than adding to the excitement of gameplay. I believe the creator of this app had a good idea in mind, but fell quite short on the production. 1 star for the additional feature of the die 1 star for trying -3 stars for the price. Ive seen many apps out on the market that clearly took many months or even years to create and they only cost 99 cents. This app came across as sorta slapped together in a couple days and charged $3 for it. To the creator: I do believe this is a fantastic idea, but your choice of sounds was a little poor. Town sounds were good, but the battle sounds should not sound like a 1982 field battle in a field. Possibly try mixing it up. Get a lot more ambient music and just general music that gets the blood pumping. Also, what I highly recommend is to offer a LOT more sounds to work with. You included maybe 20 altogether, for $3 that doesnt even strike it.

Has more feature then I expected- options out the yang- great sounds. Some of the battle ambience get repetitive quick. Town noises leave a little bit to be desired - but the other categories are packed. Would like to be able to use it straight from the phone though, without headphones or speakers
