Mix down to MP3 Limited

After buying this software I am quite
unhappy that the mix down to mp3 option
is only a trial. On the box cover under
major features it says, "mix down to
stereo wav files to burn CDs or make
MP3s for the internet". But this mix
down to MP3 option only works a limited
number of times and then they want to
rip you another $29. I have read in
another report that they have even
messed with the wavs someway so that
you can't user another mp3 ripper to
convert a cakewalk wav to mp3. I haven't
tried yet.

Second, as Chuck mentioned the drum
loops that come with Guitar Tracks are
fairly limited and it is hard to know
what a loop will sound like looking
at the names they have used. As
reviewer, Chuck, said, they are really
trying to sell you another drum program
as an upgrade. If you are into jazz
or latin music don't count on using
the drum loops. Mostly rock stuff.

I have not had the problem with pops
that Chuck mentions, so possibly
that is a function of your computer
and hard drive. I like the mixer
other than that. I have only mixed
3 tracks of guitar together so far.
It sounds good to me.

I would rate this product very high
with the two exceptions I mentioned
above and response time for questions
sent in to Cakewalk on the internet.
They say they usually respond in 1 to
2 days. Don't count on it.
