I'm currently trying to figure out what the advantages are of the premium vs. free version, apart from more soundscapes and stuff like that. I don't know that I want to spend $70/year, but I'm finding the app sooo useful atm that I wouldn't mind supporting them if the premium version is worth it. 😅

one of my new favorite bands is a 40 year old nerd tech power pop band from boston... the interplay of the two guitars creates soundscapes that fully warrant having two guitars: a VERY rare treat from a band
