How to Use Drones in Audiotool
In music, drones are monotonous notes that are held for an extended period of time. Though drones generally aren't tonally dynamic -- they usually hold one key -- they can add tension and dark under tones to your music. And if you use Audiotool's online audio editor to construct your audio tracks, you can play droned notes with any of the synthesizers in the application's environment and give your music a darker feel.
