“Absolutely fantastic music creation tool.”
“If you love music creation and VR, this is a must download, even at normal price.”
“Very easy learning curve, and those with little or no musical talent can make tunes after a 5-minute tutorial.”
“Almost exactly what I was hoping for from a VR music-making platform, but more sounds and smoothing out a few of the mechanics would really make this game shine!”
“This won't replace your DAW anytime soon, but I can imagine a whole host of ways it could be very useful - if not for traditional studio work, definitely for some sort of musical VR soundscape experiences we've yet to see.”
“I'm not very musically-inclined whatsoever.”
