"It's tight dawg"

Feature:
More effects in the package would be nice. The compressor rocks, reverb and delay are so so i say. Haven't used all effects yet (Cruncher, ect.).

Quality:
I've used Sonar, ProTools, Cool Edit, N'tracks Studio, ect. This is just as good as any. 24 bit recording for under $100,..... come on!!

Value:
Can't beat it for real. No N-tracks or Cakewalk product can compare for real VST's, Rewire (reason), Its worth $200 at least. This and a Audiophile 2496(99.00), and a Behringer mixer and you got a 48 track Studio for around 250.00.

Desirability:
Interface not as sexy as SX or SL but still pretty good.

Sound:
Same as any, you only get garbage out if you put garbage in. Dig?

Support:
never needed them so i don't know. But they have been conntacting me (specials, offers) so that's a plus.

Overall:
Does everything you basically need it to do. 48 audio tracks unlimitec midi no crashes in 6 months.

"Could be sold at twice the price and still be a great value."

Feature:
For what it does, its great. Incredibly easy to use. 48 audio tracks, unlimited MIDI (which I never use). Pretty good effects. For this to only be $99, you get an insane amount of options.

Quality:
Its software. No mechanical parts and all that stuff. I haven't encountered any bugs.

Value:
All I needed was a multi-track recorder and for that, this thing is great. The best $99 I've ever spent.

Desirability:
The interface is very sleek and hi-tech looking. But its just software. I don't know how much sex appeal some computer code can have... unless its code for a porn website.

Sound:
Its digital, what goes in comes out. Everything is dependant on the quality of your soundcard/interface.

Support:
Never had to use it.

Overall:
I expect to use this for a long time. The most vocal tracks i've used so far is 35 and on average I only use about 16-21. I'll upgrade once I progress into doing bigger projects.
