I would like to burn it but would be happy to get my money back.
Sound
When I can get it to work it sounds really good. It's just that the overall problems with the interface outweigh whatever is good about this product.
Features
Feature content for the product seems pretty good. I like the Kore Player interface it just doesn't work in my environment.
Ease of Use
Don't know I can't use it in my environment.
Quality
The installation instructions are the absolute worst. You basically have to figure it out for yourself. The Kore player that comes with the disk does not really have the RTAS interface on it. Even though it is a selectable option. I had to go to the web site and download the free player to get that option installed. The product doesn't seem to work with Pro-Tools 7.4 for windows, you can hear it but when I try to record with the plug-in the DAW with not record. There are too many issues with this product I would not recommend it to anyone.
Value
If it doesn't work there isn't much value.
Manufacturer Support
Opened a ticket, have not heard a thing back. The support forum seemed OK at first but mostly no help.
The Wow Factor
I did want it but sorry I purchased it now.
