What exactly are you trying to do?  It is functional as a multitrack
program, except it makes no attempt to calibrate for latency, so you
have to adjust the start time of a track after you record it (not really
that hard to do).  However, it doesn't have a loop edit mode, loop
sequencing, nor does it seem to have much for sample editing or virtual
synthesis.  Quibbles?  Yes.  I was just hoping to find a good multitrack
program that at least offered good capabilities for using sequenced
loops.  And a nice sample editor would be nice if I had any virtual
synthesis software running.
