FAQ
Short answers to the things people ask.
Is it free?
Yes. Thaumaturgy is in free open beta — the app, the library and accounts. Help shape it: suggestions, feature requests and sound requests all go straight to us.
Nothing plays on my iPhone
Safari needs a tap before any sound. Press PLAY, a chapter, or a board button once and everything works from then on.
The first tap on a button was late
Sounds load in the background when you load a board or pick an environment ("loading sounds n/N" shows in the boards bar). Give it a few seconds on slow Wi-Fi; after that every tap is instant.
I moved a dial and nothing changed
Check the layer is switched on (the toggle by its name) and that the environment is playing. Dials apply live while it runs.
Can two people run it at once?
Each browser is independent. If you sign in on two devices, they share the saved work, but each plays its own sound.
How many layers should an environment have?
As many as it needs, up to twelve. Past about eight the mix gets muddy — if a scene sounds busy, back a layer off with its volume or distance rather than adding more.
Where's the review page?
/review is a curation tool for the library, not part of the app. It's linked from the app's footer while the library is being built out.
Something's broken
Reload the page first — the current scene, boards and chapters come back. If it's still wrong, note what you did and tell us.
