This software installed without any problems. I didn't have any compatiblity issues with it and my system. This software is very easy to set up and get started. The installation walks you through every step. The only thing is the kind of confusing registration process that this company has, but they have good customer service help, so it's not a big problem. The manual for this is very good, every time I had a question about the program itself I was able to find the answer there. It's written in plain english as well, so you don't need to have a PhD to understand it.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I have a Dell computer with an intel processor, 2 gigabytes of ram, and Windows. It works perfectly with my computer. I have seen this on a friends computer which is a slower computer, and it doesn't work as well. There is a lag when you try to play through it and monitor the sound live. My computer is a bit newer though, so I don't have that problem. It has crashed only a couple of times, but otherwise is stable. Since it's crashed twice though, you might not want to rely on it for any kind of a live performance.
OVERALL OPINION
I have had this for about 6 months. My favorite thing about it is the really big selection of different sounds you can get. A lot of them sound very realistic. The presets are very well made, and it's a great way to try to find a new sound if you just cycle through them until you arrive at something you like. You can choose so many different types of sounds, there is something for every kind of music and then some. While many of the amp models sound very realistic, there are also some that sound very digital and fake too. I would say that these are not too frequent though, and really all you have to do is just avoid those, there are plenty of great sounding ones. You can also add all kinds of effects to the amp you pick, so the sound options are almost endless. If you compare this price to the cost of how many amp types and effects you get, it is just ridiculous. It's a really great value especially if you are not that good at recording guitar amps. This thing will do the work for you. It's a great value, and I would get it again.
