Sound: Pristine Sound! even polishes the bs Feature: well its called PRO Tools for a reason, does require some experience to maximize the session. Only thing that erked me is the initial output phasing which I came to learn is only solvable with certain interfaces, so make sure your setup meets PT standards Ease of Use: if you have already mastered some sort of DAW already, its pretty simple to adjust Quality: superb, you can hear everything Value: pricey for new buyers like me but its worth it if your serious about music Manufacturer Support: no yet...hopefully it stays that way The Wow Factor: the sound had me at hello Overall: Ive always been a Cubase guy my whole career. I've had LE all the way up to 6. hands down Cubase works better for me for editing but never completely satisfied me on the mixing.mastering level. I was initially intimidated by Pro Tools (which contributed to my loyalty to Steinberg) but I figured I'd give PT one last shot with 10 and boy was I amazed! As soon as I inputted my material into the program I could already tell a difference. The clarity hightens, the dynamics warms and mellows yet you can still hear everything sound, if not better. And this is was before I put any effects in. This made mixing fun and easy which is great cause its generally tedious. And with the 32-bit Floating, I was able to take mastering to another level! Cubase wasn't ideally designed for mastering, so although I would get incredible mixes from it, mastering in that make the mixes loud but sloppy. I dont know what type of engine avid tossed in this thing but I can jack the volume up 8db over zero and wont get a single clip! Amazing. So amzing im considering blowing some heavy $$$ to get the HD|Native interface to living it up even more- Even after for years I would clown guys dropping thousands on digi setups.... but now I see why... A must have for any independent artists or studio trying to get their music matchable to the Industry leaders!

Overall: I recently upgraded from PT 9 MP to PT 10. PT 10 is a great Daw with fantastic features. I am still learning PT and I have a ways to go to be good at it. I recommend that if you purchase this product that you also buy a good book on it. I also bought PT 10 Ignite which is a fantastic learning tool. I have purchased quite a few items from zZounds and I highly recommend them. My stuff always arrives on time and is always in excellent condition. They are #1 in my book.

Overall: I have not gotten really deaply into the product yet because of lack of time and work. So far I have difficulty recording track. I bought this to sing and record tracks. The voice that I record is very low. I am not sure what I am doing wrong? I thank zZounds for selling me this product the experience with them was great! Yes I would recommend them to a friend and will purchase things from them again.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission.
