There weren't any kind of compatibility issues in the program , it worked really great. The book provided by the program was quite clear regarding the general configuration of the program and how the settings worked to get a clear understanding. General configuration and setup is pretty easy. The typical functions are accessible fro a nice window in the great design that has a lot of editing options to choose from and many presets provided by Izotope SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE The software performs incredibly well, the gear is stable and I've been using it for some time and I still use it in all of my tracks , the configuration is stable as you can imagine with such a pro company as iZotope. I do get some nice desired changes in my mixes with this program. I've been using this program for a couple of months, but I do enjoy every tweak provided by it. OVERALL OPINION What I do like most about it are the sounds, those sounds that are just so high quality and can be used in your hip-hop, pop composition , you can also manage to create a great orchestral composition. I also like iZotope's pro effects and processors, including chorus, reverb, delay, distortions, and filters that allow to modulate your sounds to a whole new level. THe value of price is great, I think it deserves the 200$ , you can layer some different unique sounds to make a very original composition , and that's something that I really like about this program, is how easy and fast is layering. Precision and quality of sounds are without a doubt to mention, they are extremely well made, realistic, pro , and easy to work with. Yes, there are a lot of models out there, but you should without a doubt give this program a try and see how it works for you. Knowing what I know I would buy this program and try it out to get a whole new perspective on music creation.
