This technically works just fine and everything functions. My problem is that I play real life instruments and I make music using real hardware. I didn't expect this game to replace any of that, I can still have fun, I love Electronauts... what it comes down to do is that I quickly realized that making a track from the ground up in Virtuoso would take me a couple hours, while that would only take me maybe 20-30 minutes to do in reality and sound better.

So... I applaud Really Interactive... Virtuoso technically does exactly what it says it does. I have to assume I am just not the target audience. I could see people who don't play real instruments and don't know how to use a real DAW and such having a good time with this. You CAN make some really cool stuff with this potentially...

I will just say that that even for someone brand new, the HOURS you could spend putting something together in Virtuoso could be spent learning a real DAW and/or real instrument and would be far more rewarding.

One technical gripe I have is that with Valve Index controllers, it's WAY too easy to accidentally grab panels and start moving them when you're just trying to play.

Hi Gitrekt Gudson,

We wanted to mention that there is a MIDI over WiFi companion app that allows you to send control data from Virtuoso (Quest2, Rift and SteamVR) to your Windows-music program, for example Ableton or Reaper. https://virtuoso-vr.com/companion-app This might be useful to know if you should want to have more control of your music production in Virtuoso in the future.

As per your other feedback: our 6 instruments are new for everyone who enters Virtuoso for the first time, therefore some time of practice is needed to master them to perfection and achieve what you can do with instruments you have already learned in real life. Said so, we believe that even as a starter you can produce something nice and enjoyable in a matters of minutes and explore a brand new way to create music in VR, with VR designed instruments :)

We are also implementing a lock for the instruments.

Best,

Really Interactive
