    The music aspect of the software receives mixed reviews, with many users expressing frustration over its limitations in music creation, often describing it as more of a "premade music asset mixer" than a true music maker. While some appreciate its ease of use for beginners and the fun of mixing sounds, others criticize the lack of customization, frequent crashes, and the necessity of purchasing add-ons for a better experience. Overall, it seems to cater primarily to novice users, but those with more advanced needs may find it lacking.
