## Frequently asked questions

### Is this full music production?

No. It creates previewable clips, silence beds, and lightweight effects, not arrangement, mixing, or a finished score.

### Why make silence an asset?

A dedicated file makes timing reproducible in edits and prototypes.

### Should both effects be used?

No. Choose the effect that serves the moment and keep an untreated reference.
