I have been working on the program at least an hour a day for the last three months! All i ever want to do is play! I was just playing! I see music in my head when just three months ago i considered myself tone dead! I can not think you guys enough, I feel more relaxed and generally more happy these days all because a genius team of people created this program for under $100, in todays rough economy it's back to basics and now i have this wonderful gift.

* Attention Mac Users Beginning with macOS 10.15 (Catalina), Apple has eliminated the option to run 32-bit apps on the Mac. If you wish to continue using our applications, which currently require 32-bit support, do not upgrade your operating system past Mac OS 10.14 (Mojave). Alternatively, you can retain an older Mac operating system on a separate drive partition. eMedia developers are currently working on software updates to support Catalina and future versions of macOS, but this is a major undertaking. We are currently unable to foresee how long it will take us to create these new versions. If you purchased your eMedia Mac software on or after September 7, 2019, upon receiving proof of purchase we will provide you with a free upgrade to a macOS 10.15 (Catalina)-compatible version of an eMedia application when it becomes available.
