Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I really like the workflow and gui- very intuitive- signal flow mimics an analog mixing console. My primary usage is with Ubuntu (Linux) but I have used the Windows version also.

Cons

  • Nothing significant comes to mind- I've not yet hit a roadblock or wtf moment after several years of use, releasing a handful of songs along the way.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Visual style. Pro Channel. Loads .wrk files from 20 years ago. Loads 32 bits VST. Dev team always listening to users. Sysex.

Cons

  • No Mac edition. Limited Staff editor. Theme editing not as versatile as Reaper.
