I installed iDrum without any problems and had the program making drum beats in minutes. There were no compatibility issues because I was running the program on a Mac. This program is Mac only, will not work for PC. The general configuration is simple and when the program opens up it already has a generic beat to start working with. I never read the manual for the software because all the programming is infront of you. I have consulted the help software within the program which I found to be very helpful.

I am running iDrum on my Mac G4 17" Powerbook. The computer has an intel processor and Apple loseless soundcard. The software works correctly with this configuration, and I have never had the program drop out and unexpectedly quit. I am getting great performance and even use this program to perform music live. The configuration is stable, that is why I choose to use this drum machine live. It is very reliable, and produces a great sound.

I have been using iDrum for 3 years now. What I like most about the software are the number of different drum sounds and varieties of loops you are able to create. There are thousands of different kick, snare, tom, hit hit, and random percussion noises to achieve any beat you want to create. What I dislike about the software is the ability to export the loop to other media players. iDrum can create an .aif or MIDI file of your loop. I did not try any other drum loop sofware but I have used drum machines and I find iDrum to be much simpler because of its software format. I paid 50 US dollars for the software and believe it was a good price. I have gotten my money back by the amount of live music I am able to make with this software. I love this drum loop software and would recommend it to each of you!
