I wish to see some changes in fade in/out with fully control, also to use Wireless/Bluetooth keyboard or mic such as AirPods while recording. More easier functions to create custom ringtones instead of going around. That’s all for now. Thanks.

I love this app. Over time it has slowly added new sound packs, but I wish it would regularly add more sounds to work with. If the rate of release for new packs was more regular then I would give five stars. It has excellent sounds, plenty of different things to work with and do. I wish it were easier to upload to YouTube, and to save your own creations in the Music App so that you can listen to them without opening SoundCloud or some other source. Those are my only complaints, but otherwise, the sharing to SoundCloud and messaging apps is smooth and no quality is ever lost, in fact, you can even decide what quality to share your published release. It’s kind of neat. Plenty of sounds and things to work with. Just needs to make accessible to Music App and easier to upload to YouTube, and also needs to release more sounds regularly. Thanks so much!
Please Fix!

I think this app is great I use this app to make all my ringtones and to pass time. I just wish there were band instruments like flute or trumpet. I also wish that you could make your own little loops for the live loops. Otherwise great app. Thank you

If you are looking for a easy to use capturing software for smaller live show or demo recording, this is top notch. If you are upset that it doesn’t compare to 200 dollar base price capture software, it’s still readily available. This is a piece of software that I wouldn’t live without, but only the uneducated would rely on this software for professional production. I can write music on the go, and in a quick pinch it can get something recorded before it is lost. It is exponentially better than the old reel to reel and other methods of recording, but it is bare bones at best. If you are a would be engineer, run the other way. If you are planning on recording your band’s demo for cheap, it can do the job.
Good app

Great app. Would be a five star if they made the alchemy synths available for older apple products.
