5 stars (Great value, easy to use, works great) - I've been reading the reviews for this product, and I have to say that I'm extremely surprised at how bad some of them are. I have a lot of old audio tapes with live recordings, and I wanted a way to convert them to digital format, edit the tracks, and possibly clean up some of the sound. Most software that offers these features is pretty expensive. The next cheapest alternative I found was $80. Since I am completely new to this, I wasn't sure I wanted to spend that much money. I didn't want my ignorance to get the best of me. I tripped over this product in a store, and purchased it without hesitation. A $30 mistake is much easier to swallow than an $80 mistake. The one thing I didn't do was read the reviews first, which I usually do. I have to say, I'm glad I didn't because they may have swayed me, and I can't complain. This software does exactly what I want it to do. It allows me to use a line-in to record from my tape deck to my PC. It allows me to easily cut the recording into tracks. This is made easier by the visualization feature. It's a lot easier to cut tracks when you can see the fluctuations in the volume. It allows me to do some simple sound cleaning. And an added bonus, which I hadn't considered, it allows me to record directly from streaming audio. So if a band or someone is playing a live show, I can capture it and enjoy it again. I wish I had this software years ago! For $30, you can't beat it! 4 stars (No Problem Mon) - I dunno what people's problem is, maybe they are using Windows 98 or something. But for Data back-up and music compilation, it couldn't be simpler or more reliable (so far -it's been a few months). So, what's the Problem? 1 stars (Never got it to work) - I had the same installation problems. THe program would install and I could open it, but nothing worked. I couldn't play any audio file. I just got the same error message that the file could not ... Cakewalk :: CD Recording (Burning :: Burners) :: Computer software (programs) :: Sound Editing :: audio :: Music :: :: Cakewalk Pyro 2004
2 stars (Great features, but partially unusable, with terrible suppor) - I bought Music Creator Pro to create sound tracks for the video projects I've been putting together, and it's a very capable set of tools. The MIDI and recorded sound mixing, effects, and automation would be perfect for my application - if they worked. The description of the product on Cakewalk's web site is accurate, and the user interface is not very difficult to understand. I installed the software on a fast Windows XP machine, and soon discovered that it would crash when the drum pattern paint tool was used. Cakewalk's tech support has been very slow in their responses, taking at least one day and sometimes more than four to respond. I still haven't received any help other than advice to reinstall the product (I did), make sure I have the latest drivers (I do), and delete a couple of configuration files (I did). The drum pattern tool still crashes the application, and in the course of working through the tutorials (the ones I can use) I have also discovered some features that appear to be globally disabled. Two weeks after installing the product, I'm simultaneously very impressed with the features and capabilities, and very disappointed with the responsiveness of Cakewalk's tech support. If everything worked the way it was supposed to, I would probably rate Music Creator Pro with five stars. [update] It's now a month since purchase, and the software still does not work correctly. Cakewalk will not support this product by telephone. If you call their (non-toll-free) support number, you are told that they only support Music Creator Pro by email. They have failed to respond to either of my last two email messages, the first of which was sent two weeks ago. ...

1 stars (Problems with Sound Blaster Audigy 2) - Looks like a great product...but $80 later, I'm stuck with a CD that does me no good because I own a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 soundcard. Evidently, "newer" drivers don't work with this product. You have to install drivers from...2003? Note that there are absolutely NO updates available for this product, and I'm writing this review as of August 21, 2005. If your SB drivers are from 2004 or newer, you will get a "blue screen of death" when trying to execute key commands in this application (such as "new song..."). If you don't have a Sound Blaster sound card, then go for it, but otherwise.....good luck! Besides, Sound Blaster cards are pretty obscure......right? ...

2 stars (An appended review....) - To be honest, I had previously written a scathing review of this product. I have decided in the light of recent events to append it. I am giving this prog 4 stars,(unfortunately, the ranking can't be changed in an appended review).If your soundcard has both WDM and ASIO drivers, this software will automatically detect the WMD's, resulting in latency probs. Manually connecting to the ASIO drivers within the program solves the problem, thus the appended review. The dxi soft synths in this prog are quite lame, and the sounds rather poor. However, it get's high marks for it's combination of low price and a very full featured loopintg and recording system. It also has great plugin flexibility. For what you pay for it, it's a sweet little program. It only get's 4 stars due to it's lack of decent soft synths, but beyond that, an excellent prog. ...
