About

So, why are we here?

Dappledark Studios is where creative technology meets cinematic imagination. We build tools that remove friction, spark ideas, and let producers stay immersed in the one thing that matters — the music.

We founded Dappledark Studios with a simple belief:

professional‑grade music production should feel effortless.

No installs. No maintenance. No technical overhead. Just a clean, powerful environment that’s ready the moment inspiration strikes.

A New Kind of Music‑Tech Studio

Our team blends musicianship, engineering, psychoacoustics, and design into a single philosophy:

software should disappear, and creativity should take centre stage.

That philosophy led to LOCKDOWN, our all‑in‑one, zero‑install DAW. It brings together a real‑time evolving sound library, seven 32‑voice synth engines, a programmable drum machine, 50+ FX units, and intelligent pattern‑based composition tools — all running directly in your browser.

No downloads. No upgrades. No configuration.

Just immersive, uninterrupted creation.

Fair, Transparent Licensing

We believe great tools should be accessible. That’s why LOCKDOWN includes a free Lite Edition, alongside lifetime licenses with free upgrades forever. The Pro Edition unlocks our integrated library of 500,000+ sounds, giving producers a complete studio from day one.

Built by Sound Enthusiasts, for Sound Enthusiasts

We’re constantly expanding LOCKDOWN with new instruments, effects, workflows, and creative “Sonic Wizards” that help you generate melodies, rhythms, textures, and full arrangements with ease.

Wherever you are — laptop, tablet, or phone — your studio is always on, always current, and always ready.

Take LOCKDOWN for a spin.

We think you’ll love what you create.
