There are a lot of really great beat production apps and DAW-style programs out there, and if you're a long-time producer, you've probably come across them.

A professional composing tool
New version 1.7
A professional composing tool for the professional musician, with professional sound and excellent effects. The editing, programming and composing flow of a track makes it a wonderful companion when it comes to getting inspiration and fast music composition results. It uses VSTs of any type and handles them with excellence and very low CPU consumption.
The effects that it already incorporates are of great quality although they can not be edited in depth, but surely it will be able to in next updates. The new version 1.7 incorporates 16 pads per group which makes it fantastically well and the incorporation of the mixer and the automation of each sample in real time make this work tool something incredible.
I can record a drum line, give an independent effect to each sound in the kit and then record automation of panning, equalization filters, etc. all in real time and recorded to perfection and all in seconds.
The final sound is a gem, no clicks or delays of any kind. The project saves and opens very quickly and never loses any sample along the way, very nice Serato!
I can export every Stem in my mix in seconds and then master it separately in any mastering software. Serato is a gem of inspiration, ideas, concepts and fast elaboration of any musical style, but I have found it genius for original electronic music compositions specifically. Thanks to the Serato Studio development team! A phenomenal DAW 2022!

Simply awesome!!!!
I can't say enough about how fun, fast and simple Serato Studio is to use. Though it is not my main DAW, it's my go to for anything loop based. Don't get me wrong, it's far more then that, that's just what I am mainly using it for but I suggest you try the demo out to see if it fits your needs, then come back to Sweetwater and buy it.
Amazing for sample based production
Serato Studio is crazy good for making music using samples, it's way easier than other DAWs I've used. It's got a different workflow from FL, Logic and Live but that's a good thing. They've taken a different approach to music production and have nailed it. I don't think I've ever been able to make music so quick with a DAW before
it's My go too Music software
Works great. Amazing workflow and easy to use interface. It's great for getting ideas out quickly.
The Serato team is constantly banging out updates and listening to their customers by adding in requested features.
Very good built in effects and sampler that works similar to Serato Sample. I have been on it since it launched...I switched from Logic and Maschine and I am just using Serato Studio.
Obviously Logic and older DAWS are probably more feature rich...but in terms of workflow and overall fun...it definitely ranks up there, and its growing at a rapid pace
crashing might be your video card
I had a problem with the software crashing, i updated my video card to a NVIDIA quarto 4000. it works great. my old video card was just to slow to handle the software.The problem is not the software its your system.
Easiest by far!
I have used a plenty of creation softwares through my time as an music producer and I've used plenty that cost more than this, but the ease and learning curve is very fast and it works or flows with you. When I have a small idea and the way it intergrates with my serato dj crates I can accomplish it fast and with a smooth sound.
If this was just a little more extensive it would have "Reason" software wavying bye, but for what it can accomplish and the speed it does it make it valuable to any stage producer.
DON"T MISS OUT.
Unstable
This software has a great GUI and workflow but it crashes 5 out of 10 sessions. Don't waste you time and money, get Ableton , FL Studio or Reason for the same cost.
