Do you want to create your musical bases quickly and simply, without having to spend and from any computer with an operating system Windows, however old it may be? Then you should know that Hydrogen is the application for you. Thanks to it, you can develop any musical base to export it and then give it the use you want, taking your imagination to a new dimension concerning any rhythm that interests you.

To do this, Hydrogen provides you with aLibrarythat contains a huge amount of percussion sounds so that you can add them to the timeline of the track you are generating from that moment on. Of course, it then adds all kinds of interesting functions, such as allowing you to create different patterns that are then repeated in a loop so that you don't have to copy and paste them manually.

Another interesting aspect of this platform is that we will not only have the possibility of adding the sounds that come by default within the Library, but it is also possible to add all kinds of percussions. That is to say, thanks to Hydrogen, you will be able to create a completely personal musical base to feel proud of what you have generated with your knowledge.

If we add other key aspects or tools when thinking about music base generation programs, such as a sound mixer, then you can be sure of this application's versatility. This sequencer and music generator is then divided into three sections that we could consider essential. The first is the song editor, then the pattern editor, and finally, the mixer.

Normally, the use of the application consists of creating a pattern to which we add instruments at different points of the timeline since there is no limit in this sense. Of course, you have layers to work more comfortably, and at the same time, you can define issues such as volume, tone, tempo, and other aspects that make the musical base you are looking for.

When you have finished working with the different patterns, you can move on to the song editor, which will allow you to create a sequence and modify the mix, playing the track to start seeing the final results. If you think everything is ready, then it's time to save the project or export it by generating a new audio file that you can manage in any way you want.

What kind of files can I import into Hydrogen to work with? This is a very interesting point, considering that this application supports tracks in compressed FLAC format and can work with specific formats such as AU, AIFF, or WAV. If you already have your tracks generated in them, you can integrate them into all your projects in this application.

And suppose you have doubts about using this program's different internal tools. In that case, you should know that on their official website, they offer a huge amount of tutorials, tips, and tricks for users who are starting in this field or want to improve their musical bases.

How about Hydrogen's interface? Well, we can say at first that we liked it, and in fact, we liked it a lot. It has a dark blue environment that rests the eye while working, and it is also easy to move between tracks and main menus thanks to the distribution of all content. And to that, we must add that although the other language translations are not 100% accurate, it helps a lot to understand all its functions.

Suppose we had to mention some of the main positive points of Hydrogen that compel us to recommend it. In that case, it will be necessary to point out that the interface is one of the most functional within this type of application we have seen since we are sure that even beginner users will know how to take advantage of it. On the other hand, it allows us to work with up to 32 tracks simultaneously, which is much more than the average of this kind of program.

Apart from that, we must point out that in our user experience, we have discovered at least a couple of Hydrogen-related problems. The first one has to do with the fact that in one or two situations, the program has frozen or shut down for no apparent reason, and the second one with the fact that the contents or rather sounds related to the battery could be considered scarce, at least if we compare them with those of other available instruments.

Anyway, always bearing in mind that Hydrogen is a completely free platform, we can conclude that it is an application that will undoubtedly fulfill the tasks of generating musical tracks for almost any user. Its low consumption of system resources and simplicity are more than enough reasons to give it a chance when looking for software of this type.
