"Great with a Delta 1010!!!"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Great software for mixing.
Sound
Has a great sound to it. I know people say it doesnt matter what program you use in the box, but it has its own sound.
Features
Awesome workflow. Good plugins to start, but you will want to purchase more soon.
Quality
Stable if you have a digi qualified computer, im running it on a dual core 3Ghrz intel with 2G of 533 ram and I havent used more than 50% of my cpu's power yet and thats with 32 audio tracks, tons of midi with reason 3 rewired, all busses in use and a mess of plugins on almost every audio track(love the BF76).
Value
299? enough said.
Manufacturer Support
Just make sure your computer is digi qualified and they WILL solve your problems.

"POUND 4 POUND......Great!!!"
Love it. a couple draw backs but, I can go to a "BIG" studio to get it mixed.
Sound
Great Quality. It does have its own sound. Blew SOnar 4 and Cubase out of the water.
Features
Ton of features. Editing vocals in Protools is the best hands down.
Quality
Its software.
Value
300 Bucks is good. I have a delta 1010 so its better than buying the 002rack for 1200 just to get protools. I have 2 1010 boxes at 400 a piece and Protools for 300 which is 1100 for 20ins and outs compared to just 8.
Manufacturer Support
Takes too long for Digidesign to pick up the phone. I waited hours. You basically have to ask people on the forums because the digidesign folks will ignore you. You have to sort of learn this on your own.

"THE BEST PRO TOOLS OPTION FOR ASPIRING MUSICIANS"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
M-Powered was my first Digidesign purchase. Before this I couldn't imagine that I would ever give myself over to what most home-producers refer to as the "Evil-Empire", but now I am completely sold on Digidesign quality. I can see going TDM in a few years. I highly recommend this product. It is a great way to get your feet wet with arguably the "World Standard" in DAW software.
Sound
It utilizes the Digidesign Audio Engine (DAE), and it sounds as good as any LE system they have. All the functionality is there.
Features
M-Powered doesn't come with some third-party plugins, it's not upgradable, and support for Digidesign addons is restricted to the Command 8, BUT ALL THE SPECS ARE THE SAME AS LE, with the same standard FX plugins as LE, and Ableton Live 4 Lite is included. Not too shabby!
Quality
Very easy to install. i was up and running in a very short time.
Value
For the price, you can't beat the bundled plugins, Ableton Live 4, and the ability to export your sessions to TDM studios. I can do all my keyboard work in M-P, and the studio in Nashville won't lose a step integrating my work.
Manufacturer Support
M-Audio now provides complete interface support for M-Powered, so you can run the software on a Delta 1010 or any other M-Audio interface.
The Wow Factor
The interface is clean and uncluttered. I was getting tired of switching between areas in other programs. Pro Tools has the best interface I have ever seen.

Pro Tools M-Powered Customer Review
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Overall, I love it, there is not one thing I would change It has made my music shine.... www.myspace.com/foundyesterday
No matter what genra you are in, (maybe not best for hip hop or what not) but this will suit you and work great.
Sound
The sound is pure... because its software I thought that all software made everything record sound the same... I was wrong, after using some low class programs (Adobe Audition) and such I was blown away with the sound quality.
Features
It comes with a few great features, I find that in order to make my music perfect I am not looking towards the Pro Tools included plugins they are sub-par... It needs more in that area... But again it does come with them and they can be manipulated to make the right sound.
Ease of Use
I found this program the easiest program to use, way better than Logic, Cubase or any other program I had tried.
Quality
The quality is outstanding. It runs smoothly on my old computer, my new computer ect. It has had some issues when running 10 different plugins at once... but that goes back to the computer... I think its great for on the road as well, you only need a laptop and a portable interface.
Value
This is out of the question the best value for any software out there.... No question asked. The only simple need is an M-audio interface then you are set.
Manufacturer Support
I had a problem when I downloaded an MP3 codec plugin, they got back to me in a day and gave me a serial number that you would normally have to pay for... 100% class A service.
The Wow Factor
Haha I love this question. It's very sexy.... Its innovative. Its sleek. It's smart....

I spent more than a week trying to get Pro-Tools 7 to open on my computer. Pro-Tools said my M-Audio, MobilePre USB hardware was not installed. However, my MobilePre USB hardware works just fine with all my other recording programs.
I went on-line and instaled the up-dated drivers from M-Audio for Pro-Tools 7. "This did not help."
Value
I lost every penny ...
Manufacturer Support
I returned the complete package to the manufacture. They have not replied or send my money back.
