For a multitrack with vst/vsti support the features are pretty solid.Some would like more midi featues,but it's fairly solid there too now at ver.2. Recording features are great.Vst handling is super.Modular routing is the way to go. With the right vst/vsti's your in the biz. The rack feature is very flexible too by the way.Great modular routing of your vst/vsti's.

Utilization: Almost imediate.In have tried my fair share of programs,and this was the easiest to jump right into. The more advanced features may take time,but basic operations are simple to learn.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Sound quality is as good as it gets.

Very stable even on my puny win98se 256mb system.Only crashes with incompatable plugins.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall this program can do it all if you have the right vst's you should'nt have too many limitations. I got mine for free during the promotion Mackie was running back in dec. 04.So my review is for ver. 1.6. For the average joe this may be a better purchace than Cubase,Sonar,protools,ect.Based on affordabilty,and usability+stablity. Also very light on you system. I like the future of this program,as it will be actively developed.
