very very good. edit: just so the devs know. as much as I like the app(which I do very very very much). I just feel like the cymbals are a bit too loud, and the bass drums are a bit too quiet compared to everything else. one more thing is that you can't really tell what dynamic the drums are playing because of how the volume doesn't really change of what I can tell. but otherwise the only app I'll probably ever use to make music and has only those problems out of all the features.

I'm practicing for a solo & ensemble performance, except the music I chose had lyrics in it, which made it difficult to hear the clarinet in some sections. I got the sheet music for the song and decided to enter it in here so I could listen to it better. Everything sounds great (except the ties and slurs not really working), especially because I'm using the free version! I'll definitely be using this app for more audition stuff later.

Great for writing sheet music, even syncs between devices. My only reason it's not five stars is because NOTHING is offlined. Your songs and the instruments all have to load every time, including if you accidentally back out (or just switch apps for a while) and reopen a song. When I'm using this on a train or a plane, this is brutally slow and makes the app actually unusable with bad reception.
