very very good. edit: just so the devs know. as much as I like the app(which I do very very very much). I just feel like the cymbals are a bit too loud, and the bass drums are a bit too quiet compared to everything else. one more thing is that you can't really tell what dynamic the drums are playing because of how the volume doesn't really change of what I can tell. but otherwise the only app I'll probably ever use to make music and has only those problems out of all the features.

I use this app often and I find it really nice. I just wish that some of the improves instruments could be available for free users. I am planning on starting the subscription as it seems worth it on the flash sales, but for an editor that still seems to have a few bugs and audio issues, lifetime subscription for 300 dollars does not seem fair; if anyone were to get it, they should atleast be able to have 2fa or mfa upon login.

I'm practicing for a solo & ensemble performance, except the music I chose had lyrics in it, which made it difficult to hear the clarinet in some sections. I got the sheet music for the song and decided to enter it in here so I could listen to it better. Everything sounds great (except the ties and slurs not really working), especially because I'm using the free version! I'll definitely be using this app for more audition stuff later.
