• 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. Guest • Jun 2019 Disagree   Agree
• This is just a loop mixing app for non-commercial use only, meaning you don't have the freedom to sell your music or put it on Monetized videos on Youtube. Guest • Jul 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree
