Trashed my entire system. Can't get my money back.
Sound
Never ran - even in rewire mode.
Features
No listing of required chip sets.
Ease of Use
I attempted to install this program 6 times, and it completely destroyed my entire operating system (Windows XP) 6 times. I got ZERO tech support from Tascam, and they did not even respond to 6 e-mails. You MUST have the EXACT chip config they specify, or it will NEVER run on your system. The problem is, they do not supply a COMPLETE listing of compatible chip set hardware NOR do they respond to detailed inquiry to say if yours will or won't work. If you do not an EXACT chip sit they say you SHOULD have, AVOID this product like a bad virus. You could stand to lose eveything on your system if you do not heed this warning! They say you can use "re-wire mode" don't believe it for a second!

Not worth a penny to me. Can't get my wasted hundreds back either.

The Wow Factor
Trashed my entire laptop. Had to uninstall. Wasted 40-50 hours recovering from their destruction. Avoid this. I have a MSCS and could not fix their problems!!!
