The music aspect of the app has received mixed reviews, with many users praising its accessibility and intuitive design, allowing even beginners to create enjoyable music quickly. However, some critics point out limitations in instrument customization and the overall depth of music creation, noting that it often feels more like a tool for looping rather than producing complete songs. Despite these drawbacks, the app is seen as a fun and innovative platform for music-making in virtual reality, appealing to both novices and those with some musical background.
- “Virtuoso is an absolutely wonderful music composition app.”
- “Because you can visualize the music, it became way easier to make music and I can finally transform the music in my head to life!”
- “This is a must buy if you enjoy VR and making music.”
- “Yes, it's an okay music program, but I find it lacking a lot in physics.”
- “All this is to say, actually playing music in this music app does not feel satisfying at all, and I've found myself spending way too much time trying to resync out-of-sync parts in the advanced editing tools (which are also very hard to use, especially precisely).”
- “If you want to make an actual song with an intro, build-up, drop, etc., that simply is not possible.”
