"Quick, full featured,easy to use recording software at a great price!!!"

Feature:
Many features available including the instant drummer sessions a rex file player and rewire to use with other sofware such as reason for synths and keyboards ect.

Quality:
Since this is software based, I will put more comments in the Support section.

Value:
because it is easier to use and create complete song ideas in such a short amount of time, this is a great value well worth the money

Desirability:
It's great!!!! Love the branding, check out the YouTube videos. It's easy, sounds great and not much prep to get it going.

Sound:
The sound is great and you can record in mono or stereo. each individual riff can pan so that you get a great stereo field with easy set up. I am using a Westone guitar through a Line 6 PODXT live. I also use a line 6 variax guitar and a cheapo bass that sounds great using some bass effects included in the software. I would like the level meter to be more readable however.

Ease of Use:
The ease of use is the greatest feature of this product. hook up your guitar through a usb I/O device such as toneport or podxt live, click on new song, pick a drum beat with 9 free available software drummers and other add ons, and hit record to start playing and layering your songs. Easy and minimum set up time.

Support:
Sonomawireworks has always been very receptive to email and forum comments by their customers. I have seen issues brought up and instantly resolved through their technical staff and even forum members. The forum is like a family and they help each other out with tips and advise.
