So, one of the GMs from one of my groups found the Ambient Mixer app ( www.ambient-mixer.com/ (iOS and Android, I believe)). The free version in itself is pretty cool with a lot of options, but he paid the $4 for the full version. There's TONS of options for the moods you want, and each one mixes in 4-8 various sound effects (some of which you can choose how often it comes up, like thunderstrikes), and covers pretty much any genre. During our game last night, we were in a dwarven ruin trying to solve a puzzle to open a door and he had some sort of "dungeon" channel going in the background and it added a pretty cool creep factor as we were trying to figure out the puzzle.

Yah, I think they've got a pretty cool thing there. I haven't used it in game yet, but make mention of it in my rambly thoughts on the matter of music and RPGs: www.supernovembergames.com/tomes-of-tomes/2016/8/22/a-unified-theory-of-music-in-rpgsHonestly, it can be so easy to provide an ambiance with music. One of the last Strategicons we played in a Cthulhu game set at the bottom of the ocean. We were in a research vessel. The room was dark with glow sticks to provide a blue-green glow, and a solid, slow, background music which contained some underwater bubble type sounds and the thrum of the engines. It just sat there playing, unobtrusively, in the background for 4 hours. It was oppressively delicious.
