Published on 06/29/01 at 15:00I bought this software at the local CompUSA. I believe I paid around $49 for it.
The included program Slowblast is worth the cost of the program alone. Slows down music without changing the pitch. Great for working out guitar licks and songs.
You really need a fast hard drive to use this software. I kept getting skipping when I was recording. My computer is a 500 MHz unit with 27 gig of hard drive space. The tech support told me that my IDE drives were not fast enough. You need a hard drive with at LEAST a 300 MB/Second transfer rate (according to the manufacturer). If you don't have that then don't buy the program. Other than that problem, the interface and everything else was good.I did not get my moneys worth as the recorder was beyond my systems performance. My system is equivalent to a 500 MHz Pent III. The system requirements should tell you about the hard drive speed requirements.
Well thought out interface, fairly easy to use.
If you have a fast hard drive on your system then this program should work great. The
sound quality was excellent and the package easy to use....BUT ...you need that fast
hard drive.
