What our customer's say!

"Great for the beginner", Has many good features for the money. Great for the beginner or jack of all trades.

"I didn't like this product", This product would be great if you already were well versed in audio production, like say college level, but if you are wanting to start voice recording for voice overs this is not your product. It was difficult to understand and use. It did not have the features that would help me.

"TOTAL USELESS JUNK SOFTWARE!", Before you shell out the $40 dollars, download the demo software first and mess around with it for an hour or two, there's a really good chance this software isn't going to do what you want it to do. If all you need it for is to record old records with a microphone and then burn them on to a CD then this is your product. If your looking for a product that can record vocal tracks while you're listening to separate music tracks buy the Sony Acid Music Studio, for some reason this thing can't do that. If you want to make karaoke track out of your favorite album so that you can practice singing, a key selling feature of this product, you're out of luck. The vocal eraser can't even be accessed in the tool bar it remains gray regardless of what you do. All software makers promising good results with vocal erasing are lying anyway. When studios master songs the vocals are in the mix on both L&R channels so you're not going to be able to seamlessly remove then. Go to the user forum, type in vocal eraser and read about it for your self. Last of all, if you want this thing to tweak vocals you've already recorded, the effects and equalizers are few and limited. I would recommend the Acid Music Studio for your own projects, as for this thing I can't image what purpose it serves.

"Hours of Frustration", I bought this product with the idea that I would be able to do some very simple things with it. What I want to do is hook songs together which belong together but are split up when a computer reads them as seperate and inserts a pause between them--Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and With A Little Help From My Friends, for example. It's a very simple thing, but the frustration I have had with this product is almost beyond belief. 1st, the controls are not subtle enough to allow me to only wipe out that pause when I hook the songs together, so there is a slight hiccup in the editing. It should be better. 2nd, I have to match the tempos of the two tracks--and neither the manual nor the tutorial is of any help whatsoever. You just have to figure it out for yourself! Then the program likes to do all kinds of annoying things like erase the vocals or create an echoing version of the song. Add to this, the controls do not always respond the same way when you use them, and you can spend hours trying to do what should be easy things, until you figure it all out for yourself. Now, sometimes the program will allow you to match the songs with different tempos up, and sometimes it won't. I've discovered that it all depends on whether you catch this program on a good day or not. There does not seem to be any rhyme nor reason to the way it works. Why can't SONY and these other companies test their manuals and tutorials before they send them out to the public? Why can't they get real people who have no practical experience with their products, pay them a few dollars, and ask them to try and do a couple of things just to see if everything makes sense to them? I am not a computer programmer, but I am not entirely unfamiliar with computers and program either. The product itself is OK, but the service is horrible--typical SONY!

"Just like Sound Forge but cheaper", I downloaded a trail version, but I bought it here on Amazon, because I want to have the disc on hand. I wanted to add to what the other reviewers are saying. I may update this review if I get more information.

Updated: I installed the cd, and I found that the vocal eraser feature is a separate program, made by another company, that is not Sony. I tired the vocal eraser. It seems to work ok, but I had a bad install. So, I deleted it and I reinstalled it. Now the sony part is working ok. I have not reinstalled the vocal eraser in case that was the problem, but I understand you can get a free vocal eraser is you look around online. I am more interested in removing parts I don't like from songs without losing any quality. This product does that perfectly.

I think it could be a problem if you try to remove the vocal track and then insert your own voice. Your voice would be a separate track, and you would not be able to blend the two tracks. If you want to do that, you will need to buy the more expensive software that handles multiple tracks.
