ESSNCE is a production studio on your phone. You capture sound, chop it up, build drums around it, arrange the whole thing into a track, and export a finished file. That entire workflow happens across four screens.
Think of them as four rooms in a studio. You capture sound in one, sculpt it in the next, build rhythm in the third, and arrange everything in the last.
You don't have to use them in that exact order every time. But for your first track, walking through them left to right is the clearest path from nothing to a finished piece of music.
Everything you do saves automatically as an .essketch file. ESSNCE auto-saves every five minutes and recovers from crashes. Experiment freely — you won't lose your work.
By the end of this guide, you'll have a beat with a sampled melody loop, programmed drums, a basic song structure, and an exported audio file. About 20 minutes of hands-on time.
You know the four-screen pipeline and what you're about to build. Time to start.
