Customer Reviews

I am in love with this software already
This is an amazing little package for the amount of stuff in it.
I am loving that it is a really well featured sequencer.
I am loving the guitar amp simulations which you get with it.
I am loving the variety of soft-synths that come with it.
I am loving the relative ease with which I have been able to record some vocals and guitar and turn it into something listenable.

I note the previous reviewer said he had difficulty setting everything up - and lets face it setting up a home recording facility is not trivial as you try to understand how to use your soundcard or whatever to get sounds into your computer so I sympathise with his pain - but I dont believe that is the fault of this software. You will have that pain ( aka learning curve) whatever audio sequencer software you choose. It does everything I could have wished and more and has been rock solid and stable. The interface is lovely compared to some sequencers I have used in the past. And the price was pretty amazing.

I found the manual and basic tutorials clear and useful but I admit I did already have some familiarity with the concepts of recording audio and wiring up my microphones, guitar and mixer to my soundcard to get sound in and out of the PC.

I have used a few different PC based sequencers in the past and usually had trouble with performance and stability. This software is running like a dream. I fully recommend it if you want to explore the world of audio recording or creation and are dithering about what sequencer to try.

Mucked about!
I had great expectations for this product, but here I am, after two weeks, still fannying about with the first tutorials!

Baiscally the tutorial and book doesn't match up with what you get when you load the programme, for example the demo file isn't there, and there are other screenshots in the book that don't match up with what you see on your PC screen.

I have contacted Cakewalk for an explanation, and depending on their reply, I may update this review!
