Record everything into a complete song and export Audio or MIDI to continue working in your favorite desktop DAW.

Ratings and reviews

I want to write a five-star review if you guys can help me solve the issue I'm having. At first sometimes on occasion it would get staticky and distorted but goes away after a minute or two. So that wasn't much of a problem but just today when I opened up the app there is a constant metallic erie sound that will not go away. I am no longer able to make music or record anything. I payed for the pro version. Would be greatly appreciated if you guys could help fix this issue. Thanks!😁

This app is pretty good, but the free version just isn't practical for serious music making. To make the song longer, you have to pay. It's not a ridiculous price but I'm not going to pay for something I can just do on a computer. It's user friendly if you know what to expect, but it was all very overwhelming and confusing at first and a tutorial of some sort would have really helped. Overall, it has a wide variety of sounds and I would love this app if I could use it to make full-length songs.

I have to give this 5 stars! After searching for 9 years, I finally found a music making app that delivered! Easy to use with an intuitive design. There are so many features that are actually! This is the best app of this type that I've found so far! The only and very small issue I've had was that the ad at the bottom of the screen occasionally covers up some buttons. Even if you never fixed that, I'd still give you 5 stars! Don't change!
