The music aspect of the software is praised for its user-friendly setup and functionality, making it suitable for budget musicians and students. While it offers a significant upgrade from the Music Maker series, some users note limitations, such as a maximum of 16 plug-ins per track and challenges in recording live and virtual tracks together. Overall, it is recommended for home musicians looking to create and produce music easily.
- “A great music studio with virtual instruments.”
- “It is also easy to set up and easy to use, recommended for home musicians to write songs with MIDI and record any instruments and microphones.”
- “You can produce your own music in a quite simple manner with it.”
- “Not easy to use compared to the Music Maker series.”
- “This version of Samplitude Music Studio only allows a maximum number of 16 plug-ins per object, track, or master.”
- “Won't record my live tracks and its virtual tracks in the same project, which means I can't create a song with its drum machine and my guitar.”

Users find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to the cumbersome process of extending or resizing loops, which requires dragging and pasting from a library instead of simple adjustments. Additionally, manually naming tracks adds to the overall tediousness of the experience.
- “Can't just drag a loop to extend or resize; instead, you have to drag and paste another one from the loop library. It's tedious.”
- “So it's still tedious.”
- “Another tedious step you have to do is to name the tracks yourself.”
