The interface of this application has been split into different panes. There is one main area that show how the tracks you have chosen have been layered, one on top of the other. You will also find output track representation towards the end which are followed by some basic controls on music playback.
All the effects that can be used by the user are listed on the right hand pane, making it simple to apply them and customize the settings. The interface, just like most of the Apple applications, is quite simple and easy to use. With the newest version of this application, the developers have provided a ‘how did I play’ feature which directly accesses your performance while you are still learning to play.
