The software comes with the machine. Difficult to be more consistent. Simply assign the inputs and outputs on the sound card ... and roll!
There are some aid from the menu.
If a person has tinkered with software sequencers, we toured two / three hours.
And yet, we must admit that I am a bit slow because I tried all the guitar amps, from sheer gluttony.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

The computer is an iMac 21 inch with Snow Leopard. There is a dual core. If we glue his ear to the metal, maybe we can hear them fight. 'll Try, like ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have it for two months. Previously I tinkered with Pro 24 and Cubase Atari (to give an idea of ​​the age of the captain), I also approached the Music Maker on the PC and Cubase LE.
The latter configuration was very unstable, creaked, had made an average sound.
I use it to mock-up of titles.
I send my groovebox sequences or drum loops I have in an external HDD then I record guitars, vocals, percussion ...
And Ben ... is bluffing. The collection of amps is quite convincing (especially the Vox and Fender, but it is a matter of taste). The audio response is taken from his excellent (I have good microphones and good processing chain before recording and playback).
You can record in 24 bits and 16 bits for return to the CD format. All transactions are linked together with easy and logical as and when the progress of a recording and mixing. The compressor, reverb and delay are included in good order ... and adjustable.
There is an automation track in the mix.
I have not tried the software instruments because I did not use. I can not comment on it.
It lacks a console to see the mix, but frankly, for a software for the amateur musician, it's up to expectations.
To be more precise, in the case record and mix demos for a myspace, it's enough.
