What our customer's say!

"Absolutely Worthless!", I bought this as a girt for my wife a year ago. It has done nothing but confuse and frustrate both of us. The instructions may have well been written in Martian. Leave this alone! If you get it for free you have still paid too much.

"Newbie Beware", If you are new to creating music on computer, and just want to delve lightly into the process, stay far away from any software developed by this company. (I bought Music Creator 3.) Newbies beware - never venture here! I am not, nor will I ever be, a high-end user like the other reviewers. I produce multimedia not music. I just need straightforward tools to create music for presentations (so I can quit buying readymade music/MIDI clips). Unfortunately (?), I used my child's MAC and Garage Band before using Cakewalk. I was tainted by instructions that made sense, an intuitive software interface, and music actually coming out of the computer.

"Does what it's supposed to do", I previously had another recording software program before I got this one and was prepared for all the problems that some of the other reviewers encountered. I have a pretty good computer anyway with Windows XP. So, I have to say, this program does what it's supposed to do. That being said, I have a 24 track studio in my house and my 24 track recorder is basically a computer that does nothing but records. It's laid out for that purpose and is very easy to use compared to trying to do it on my home computer. But, with a computer program, things aren't as handy. A little familiarity with computer programs and computers in general will help alot. With the soundcard issue, the thinking is that you will be monitoring your recordings with studio monitors. If you aren't prepared for that, it can get confusing until you actually hear something. Plus, like any studio, you have to think about acoustics. My office isn't a good sounding environment to record in so I only have this program to throw together ideas. If I had it in the studio, I could make a very nice recording. But, the difference in cost is the main thing. My 24 track studio cost whole lot more than this program.

"Difficult for the Sake of Difficulty", I have to agree 100 percent with the reviews below: This software was written without any consideration to the end user. Just getting the thing to make a sound--any sound at all--is a major undertaking. Instead of just programming the junk to use your soundcard, it is made so that it will remain mute until you search out the soundcard manually and inform the software to use it. Each and every @!?%$#@*&!!!! time you copy or create a track, you have to tell the software AGAIN to use the soundcard. I'd love to get an explanation from the manufacturer as to why this is--were they under the impression that some users would want to program music and then NEVER LISTEN TO IT?!?!?

There are 4 or 5 possible 'views' of each tune on this software, but the layout, and the archane instructions that come with the software, could lead you to believe that that is really an astronomical figure. The guide book is written in an amazingly, astonishingly complex manner, making it virtually unuseable.

I've had the software 3 weeks and have yet to get a second's enjoyment out of it. I've played music all my life and have done some composing on my computer before, but I can say without a shadow of a doubt I will never--NEVER--get any use out of this overly complex piece of junk. Everything about this appears to have been overdone by software engineers looking to impress other software engineers, with no thought of any kind given to the end user or how the software would be used.

A complete and total waste of money. I'll never buy anything from Cakewalk again. Never.

"Buy something else instead.", This program about made me go crazy just trying to get it to work. All I wanted was something with which I could record bass and guitar tracks and add prerecorded drum tracks to those so I could record some demos for my band, but apparently that was asking too much. This program refused to work on my laptop, it kept saying something about how the MIDI interface wasn't supported. Gee really? I wounder how the heck Guitar Pro 4 works on my laptop them since that uses MIDIs too? And for some reason, because it refused to use the MIDI on my soundcard, I couldn't record real instruments. Now, I'm no expert, but what do MIDIs have to do with actual audio tracks? And why couldn't I record any bass or guitar parts and play them back? I guess that uses MIDI too, amazing. I had someone who works on computers for a living look at it and they were dumbfounded at why it was doing what it was doing. Then I tried to use this program on my parents desktop, but I had lost the slip that the CD came in, which had the needed code to install on it. So basicly I ended up throwing $40 down the drain. I should've put that money towards a decent program or wasted it on something fun at least, like fireworks or strippers.
