The soda sound library is designed to sound well mixed as-is.
This way you can skip the effort of eq, compression, sound design, and other production headaches,
and focus on writing the music.
Music is an endless field of unlimited possibility, but most of the music we listen to follows a few basic rules.
Those rules are integrated into SODA's tools and interface so everything you write fits the common practices of theory.

Type Beat Rips
everybody uses video-to-mp3 to get their beats, so everybody is using
the same beats as each other, so everybody’s songs give off that
“heard this before” vibe.
Not a great way to stand out.

A video-to-mp3 Type Beat rip costs zero money to access,

copyright infringement may not be a big concern while you’re underground,

you may lose all your new money to legal fees and settlements.

Type beat rips limit your songwriting to:
1. whatever is in the track
2. whatever your engineer can splice together
You have no freedom to separately customize each individual instrument.

Desktop DAWs
Anything you make yourself will be unique to you, but great results from a desktop daw
require time, effort, and money.
Desktop daws can cost
from $99 flat-fee up to $959.88/year.
That doesn’t include the price of midi controllers, audio interfaces, mics, or software plugins.
a soda download credit costs between $0.60 and $2.00.

even if you spend the countless hours it takes to learn the tools of a producer,
you’re stuck with nothing until you know enough theory to actually compose good music.
A desktop daw gives you control over every individual instrument in a track, but accurately bringing your vision to life requires a lot of up-front time, effort, and money.
Online DAWs
just like on a desktop, online daws give you access to complex and dynamic tools to create anything you can imagine,
but signing up and getting started is only the first step in spending countless hours learning and mastering the tools and interface.

Buying Beats
When you buy a beat from a producer online, it isn’t always clear if you’re getting an exclusive license or not.
If you’re buying a non-exclusive license, a thousand other artists could buy and use the same beat.

you can find online retail prices for beats anywhere between $10 and $600.
Even on the lower end, multiply by how many songs you want to release, and you’re looking at spending hundreds, even thousands of dollars on beats for your tracks.

paying producers for their beats grants you legal permission to use their work in your productions,

if you don’t have any experience producing instrumentals, it’s very easy to find someone who does,
and you can expect to face even more problems when you do.
Most producers know enough music theory to make their productions sound how they want, so you won’t have to worry about how to actually compose music,
but you will have other things to worry about.

depending on who you work with, where you get the beat, and how much it costs,
you may be getting individual tracks for each instrument, or just a single mastered file.
