Which music maker should I use?
It depends on what you need to come out. For a song with sung vocals and lyrics, use a tool that sings: Daydream makes instrumentals only. To make the track yourself, use Daydream Studio, a browser-based studio for hybrid music production: session players follow your part, chords and groove while it plays, every part comes out as its own stem, and on a Mac it runs your own VST3 and AU plugins. For royalty-free background music, Daydream Songs is $4 a month for 500 tracks with unlimited downloads of mixes and stems, and the free plan includes commercial use and 3 downloads a month. Each page below says where the other tool wins.
