ADC26: Noodlr - Noodlr Studio

We spoke to Anthony from Noodlr about Noodlr Studio, a browser-based workspace for collecting musical ideas outside the DAW. Since our previous ADC coverage, the project is in early access and has become a canvas-style environment for references, sketches and captured audio.

Noodlr Studio supports boards that can hold sounds, photos, video, text notes and links, including SoundCloud references. It also includes playable elements such as synth and drum-machine nodes, plus a Just Play mode that loads directly in the website with instruments such as a kalimba.

The workflow centres on placing ideas onto a shared canvas. Phone recordings, found sounds and voice notes can live on a board and then move into DAW sessions such as Ableton Live or Logic. Boards can be shared with collaborators, and individual nodes support comments, text associations and notifications.

Noodlr Studio is free during early access, with sign-up available through the website. A mobile and iPad version is in TestFlight, alongside the web app.
