I just gave this a test run two days ago and it’s so straight forward and easy to use. I quickly turned one of my abandoned projects into a song! Recommended!

If you have any trouble with arranging your loops / scenes from the Session window this is a totally brilliant plugin – I’m putting together an album to release for artist charities and I went from one arrangement a week to 7 in one day! . This plugin is a game-changer. Added to which the dev is really responsive and helpful (For incredibly smooth arranging – Make sure that midi and audio loops you import into Live’s clip slots are an exact number of bars – None of those pesky little red numbers at the bar-end or the loop length counters in the loop-detail window- Its not the apps fault, its just that imported loops can be incorrectly reported by Live).

I’m amazed. If you struggle with arrangements or need to finish a lot of songs for different styles, this is the way to go! Tons of templates, very detailed and well thought out enhancement to your workflow. I really like it when people think in detail about how to do things better and assist you to save your time. Song Sketch 2 is one of those gadgets, and it should get an award too.
