    Bit of a long, uninteresting tangent:
    I used to use Medly all the time. It’s one of the apps that got me into making music on the go so this is nostalgic to me. It used to be my favorite pass time, I even bought and used all of the original instrument packs of each genre. However, I stopped using it because of all of their updates and reworks made the app glitchy, alongside them changing the sounds of certain instruments completely which janked up a lot of my old projects. They even introduced their own samples of SFX and vocals used in featured demo songs by talented artists, but weren’t implemented well in the app and had lots of bugs that for a long time went unresolved. Now, like all other higher quality mobile music apps, everything you’d want to utilize has a price, which is understandable.
    Don’t get me wrong, this app was really fun and I assume still is. But I just feel like Medly Labs trying to transform the app entirely really harmed this character that it had before.
    Great beats Levi, btw. It’s interesting to see all of the instruments that come in their new membership packs.

      I personally find Auxy better to use overall. There's curated drum and synth packs, from professional recording artists and studio engineers. Sure, it also has a subscription, but has higher quality instruments, along with some eq parameters as well.

    It's a little confusing at first, but you need to drag notes left to move and right to extend. That's why you were having most of your problems with the controls. There is a glitch though where you can't extend notes when they're on the very first beat, it kinda sucks.
