"super simple recording program, you can't go wrong here!"

Feature:
the cakewalk effects are a little tricky at first, but if you take the time to get to know them, they are outstanding! just search the web for free vst plugins, and there is nothing you can't accomplish with this program.

Quality:
I have used this program for years, on xp and vista. completely trouble free

Value:
I've used plenty of other higher priced programs for recording, and I must say GTP3 is definately the best bang for the buck

Desirability:
simple interface. you can't beat it

Sound:
this program is so simple to use. The so called software engineer must be a moron! All you need to do to run on vista is change the compatibilty mode to win xp. I produce just myself, acoustic and vocals, as well as full 8 piece bands, the sound is incredible!

Ease of Use:
as easy as running a 4 track tape recorder. I would have said it's idiot proof, but the software engineer proved me wrong...

Support:
never had any issues, so never needed support

Overall:
had it for about 5 years, and I wouldn't even consider switching to another program

Submitted: 9/5/2008

Style of Music: little bit of everything

"You dont need to be a software engineer to figure this program out."

Feature:
More than one needs to get great recordings.

Quality:
Very goos quality and the price is right.

Value:
Incredible.

Desirability:
Very sexy

Sound:
If your a software engineer and cant figure out how set up your soundcard to work with this software you need to find a new line of work. I am not and It took me a second to set up. I have used this product for a while now and everything about it is easy to use just got to take the time to get familiar with it.

Ease of Use:
My eight year old to figure it out.

Support:
Perfect.
