If you enjoy making music, this is a program that will be beneficial in almost every aspect. It does appear a bit intimidating when you first look at the site, but if you focus on each aspect of the site instead of all of the components at one time, then it's easier to understand. You can do voice recordings without music or recordings with instruments and music that you download from online. There are numerous instruments that you can play using the software program. A benefit is that you can learn how to play each instrument with the instructions that are offered if you have never played at all. The program also has features if you like to mix your own music or if you're trying to put different components together. Some of the instruments to choose from include the keyboard and drums. If you know how to blend several sounds together, then you have everything that you need at your fingertips to create a song or an instrumental piece without the assistance of anyone else. Special effects are also available with the program. These effects make the tracks that you create come to life. There are effects that add bass to songs and effects that add sparkle and other noises in the background. You can sculpt the sound in any way so that it delivers what you want to hear. Fortunately, you can play with the songs and the effects that you use before recording. Once you record music, you can share it online or save it in a file to use for later. Mixing features are also available so that you can mix two or more different features together.
