Composing with Soundation

I found my experience with Soundation to be very enjoyable.  I found myself mostly using the loops and prerecorded samples for the class assignment, but I found the software to be quite versatile.  Once I got the MIDI controller to work I found the program to be almost as good as Garageband, but Garageband is just a little more intuitive.  Since this is a web-based application, it has some advantages like being cross-platform.  In my school, Soundation and Noteflight are perfect for the one-to-one Chromebook program that was started last year.

While the tendency is to create "dance" tracks with this software, loops and beats are only one element.  This software is also be used to record and produce live recordings with a lower cost and learning curve than software like Logic or ProTools.  I found a lot of effects and options that could be used to make professional sounding recordings.   The program also has paid tiers for added functionality and offers expansion software for added versatility for an extra cost.  However, the free version offers enough features for the average user.
