use with a macbook pro early 2012 and a PC fixed, smooth installation on the two platforms.
manual very clear to those who read English. Unlimited bus with 8 tracks tape sat by default.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

So there should be differentiated two parts: the tracking and mix.
recently used for recording 16 simultaneous tracks, I met a lot of crashes, software unresponsive or unexpectedly left, fortunately he had to reopen well preserved all data. Sessions on heavy, I also had some concerns graohiques recorded tracks not displayed, forced to restart the app to refresh the display. also lack virtual tracks for alternate takes. My other worries tracks recorded on the mac version does not display their name in the edit view qd I pass on the PC version. In short a lot of small annoyances that waste time and do not allow intensive use for tracking. Good for routing by allowing against a lot of things and is simple to use.
mix in the situation is reversed no worries, the software responds well (in fact it uses all the resources it needs from the beginning of the session, as if using all the comp and eq, so that the cpu usage seems high at first, but increases only slightly thereafter), the issue is rather well done, the software leads to a gain staging which facilitates the consistent mix, eq and comp are well integrated and there fetches external plugs that for a particular color, like the old what, makes you go faster.
And thanks to the soft tape sat a sound to him, you like it or not ...

OVERALL OPINION

used since December, I did a lot of intensive testing in a real situation, and I do not regret the purchase ($ 49 is given) but for now I'll confine the mix and will use another soft for the recording, which is a shame it requires additional handling.
Hoping that no mas lot of trouble will be set in future versions, we should not forget that he is relatively young compared to other apps, and then it deserves a 10.
