      It's basically just like garageband. You can use a MIDI, you can record tracks, you can use some of their tracks as well.

      Soundtrap vs GarageBand opinions
      Almost everyone thinks Soundtrap is a great alternative to GarageBand.
      the drums in there are total abominations. double-time swing is impossible. apart from that, it is awesome for dubstep, lo-fi hiphop and everything besides jazz and other genres better portrayed live than imitated.

      As someone else said, it's just a loop mixing app. You could try it out, but I don't think it's worth the time if you're looking to create full-fledged songs that you want to sell.
