Noctívago is a desktop ambient sound mixer for Windows. Every sound you add can be trimmed, filtered, EQ'd, and shaped individually, sounds can play as a loop, a randomized "creak in the woods" one-shot, or on a clock schedule, and a finished mix can be exported to a single audio or video file.

What's in it

The Mixer

Add your own audio files, tag and group them, build a mix, save it as a preset, play it all with one button.

Remix — per-sound editor

Trim, highpass/lowpass/gain, a 7-band parametric EQ, echo, real reverb, a noise gate and noise reduction, a Doppler pass-by effect, speed/pitch/reverse, stereo pan, slow random volume/pitch/pan drift, and a visual loop-seam editor — with live preview.

Three ways a sound plays

Loop it, replay it at randomized gaps with randomized pitch ("Random Interval"), or fire it at real clock times ("Scheduled") — an hourly chime, a bird call every few minutes.

Sound Groups

Route a subset of your sounds through their own shared EQ/reverb bus — e.g. everything "outside" gets muffled and roomier than what's "inside."

Presets & sharing

Move a preset to another computer as one file, or browse, import, and share ambiences with other users in the Community tab.

Browse Sounds

Search Freesound.org and YouTube together, right from the app, and import a result straight into your library with attribution kept automatically.

Export

Bake a whole mix down to one audio file, or a video (waveform/spectrum visualization, a looped image, or your own background clip) — ready to upload elsewhere.

Sleep timer

Stop everything, turn off just your displays and keep the sound going, put the computer to sleep, or shut it down — on a timer or at a set time.

Free, name-your-own-price. Noctívago is an early/prototype build on itch.io — pay what you want (including nothing) to try it, and feedback is very welcome.
