Simply put this software will not run well on Windows PCs, period. High CPU leading to sound stuttering and input delay was experienced on my Intel i7. It turns out, the software was originally written for Mac, and Windows users get a repackaged browser version of the software. I would not recommend Windows users buy this software until it will run decently well. That said, the software otherwise accomplishes what it sets out. There's a small learning curve with the UI. Jamming with your laptop keyboard is easy and fun, as the notes you press are snapped to the chord structure. Standard MIDI samples are included, and your work is saved to the cloud and emailed to you in the form of .mid files. Nice to see the ancient standard still being used.

I absolutely love it. If you are looking for a much faster and simple way of making your own tracks and music without the complexities of other advanced DAW software, then Odesi is perfect for you to get started. The UI is easy to get used to and very simple to use. If you have a hard time putting together a beat you can have Odesi generate one for you which is good for getting new ideas and changing the beat to your desire afterwards. You can set up Odesi to email your MIDI file and import it into other DAW software which I find useful for Mobile DAW apps. I imported a MIDI file from email into FL Studio Mobile on my iPhone and continued editing, tuning up the beats, and changing the instruments and it was awesome. :D I use a lot of different DAWs for PC and Mobile and couldn't believe how simple it was to create music on this. Odesi can be a nice replacement for other DAWs if you are on a budget and don't want to spend hours researching and learning them. If you are looking to con...

This is a Great, simple to use piece of software, In only a few minutes I was creating awesome music and beats. It really helped me to generate ideas. It doesnt do everything but what it does do, it does really well Good: The interface is simple and easy to use You can generate your tracks or write your own for more control You get the choice of may different voices for your tracks Great for generating ideas and creating loops, has the ability to write full pieces as well (as midi files) Easy to make changes such as the key and have the whole piece update Has not crashed on me and the autosave is helpful, seems very stable. The Bad: I could not find a way to manually save, you have to leave the project to work on a duplication, a "save as" would be helpful. The menus that pop up cant be moved (as far as I can tell), this would be nice as sometimes they appear on top of the tracks. Overall this software is really good for both begininers and professionals.

It's not worth the money, it doesn't offer anything a standard DAW doesn't do already it actually offers less. If you don't have a MIDI keyboard it won't allow you to choose any note. It doesn't automatically fix in recorded input to match the timing either like most other free software is able to do. It is buggy and lags out of time on playback. The built in sounds are nice and of decent quality but there is no velocity/dynamics to them, now it could just be it requires VST with the capability to do this but we will see. Doesn't seem like there has been much updates from the devs either so starting to think that the reviews left may have been false. I wouldn't normally mind but you can't even use this unless you are online. If you're looking for something reliable look elsewhere. Update: After using for a while longer I still find it buggy and lagging, VST support is and isn't there as in it turned up but then somehow decided they would all not make a sound and then upon closing and ...

The TL;DR version is "It does what it says, and it does it well; I would recommend it as an awesome composition aid, with the one caveat that it is an online only application, if that matters to you". Since I think that last bit may be a sticking point for some, I'll cover it first: This is really a web application that you're buying access to, with the added benefit of a custom client which extends the functionality. This means that as long as you use the proper browser (works in Chrome, not in Firefox, for example) you can access this from any internet connected Windows, Mac or Linux computer. Your project files are stored on the Odesi server, so they're always available no matter where you are. For Windows and Mac there is a custom Odesi application which extends the web version by allowing more than just a single set of sounds, which gives you more creative freedom to audition your ideas with. This includes the use of Audio Units on MacOS and support for VST instruments on Window...

Really nice software, easy on the computer, no crashes at all so far (and I use it in a VM, which is probably not the best environment). Now let's be clear, this is NOT a DAW, it's complementary to a DAW. It's here to help you quickly draft a chord line, a melody, a bass line and some drums, then you export all this to a proper DAW and polish everything. I strongly disagree with the reviewer who said it doesn't bring anything that a DAW can't do, it's a ridiculous assertion. No DAW, as far as I know, provides you with so many building blocks for creating a quick tune. That's not the role of DAW anyway. What Odesi gives you really is this, hundreds (thousands?) of MIDI patterns that you can mix, match and edit, while making sure evrything stays coherent and in-scale. Nos I understand "purists" might dismiss this as "cheating", but this also is kind of ridiculous. What you learn in music school is exactly this: learning lots of scales, patterns, how to make then fit together and soun...

NOTE: I have used a good 5 hours on this. Unfortunately my account says I haven't used a single hour out of this because I didn't open the program through steam. I am also writing this with a crappy 3mbps internet in mind. TL;DR: You can make quick and dirty sketches for your song with this and import it to your DAW to fully flesh it out. Needs a crap load of UI improvement, though. And you can't use it if you don't have internet which sucks. REVIEW: If you don't mind the clunky UI, then this would be an invaluable tool in significantly reducing music production time. It took me three weeks to consider getting this because of how expensive this is in my currency but I think its worth every penny as It reduced my time on making music by a whole fucking lot. It usually takes me two hours to make a 2 minute song. But when using this, I was able to reduce production time to a measely 40 minutes. And that was on my first time opening this app. However, there's two drawbacks I'd like to p...

Very Nice Piece of software to start working on ideas

I used to like it. It was fun to mess around and make little beats and stuff. However, I'd love an explanation as to why it's no longer available for Mac. They literally rendered it useless for me. I purchased it several years ago and had to get a new hard drive. When I went to reload Odesi, it won't let me because I'm on a Mac. I wouldn't buy it considering you don't know if you'll be able to use it in the future. Absolute trash.

I Highly recommend Odesi for composition. I have some music background, but almost no experience in composition, and it's awesome! The terms of what you can all do with the exported tracks themselves is a bit confusing, but if you plan on just exporting to other audio software it's fine. I Love Odesi, well worth the money!
