Ratings and reviews

I was inclined to only give a four star review. I have the paid version, I can't speak for a free version. The capabilities are amazing for the price. However, I could not manage files within the app, and I could not find the files on my tablet. Therefore, I couldn't delete or move files. I went through every help and tutorial and, finally, emailed the developer who replied to me right away. The recommendation: download CX file manager, problem solved. Thanks so much!

I really like what you've built. It's got enough breadth, and scope that, I'm able to twist out complete tracks. That sound like I created it at the studio! The only thing I have an issue with is that when I'm laying synth sounds out using VA Beast, I'll only be lay at most V1 ,V2, V3 out of the the 5 that comes with the app. When I layer more than three sounds at a time, a cracking sound starts. It sounds almost like a record that has skips or has scratches on it. Any advice would be nice.

I am a perpetual novice who has failed to become proficient at a handful of instruments. I just watched the quick start videos on youtube and I'm already creating. It's incredible to find such power on a mobile app. And that's out of the box. I haven't even connected any external files or hardware yet or learned what the majority of the features do. I could never justify spending money on a sequencer and drum kit but can now get that functionality out of a phone.
