2.0 out of 5 stars Guitar Tracks is anything but a Cakewalk, December 25, 1999

This review is from: Cakewalk Guitar Tracks 1.0 (CD-ROM)

Folks, this program should really be called Cake Trudge... because that what it feels like when you are trying to use it... Bottom line... this program is a BIG disappointment. Of course it is priced at $ or less in the stores, so you could say that you get what you pay for.(although the retail price on the cakewalk site is ridiculous-$! ) It is laiden with errors, and for some reason, takes forever to launch on my machine (I have a 350mhz PII) It also crashes frequently. The program has some very nice features, but there are so many annoyances that come with them that it almost makes it not worth it. For example, when you change the tempo on Drag and Drop drummer, the sound becomes distorted and the drum clip is off beat. Also there is absolutely no support for Slow Blast, as well as Drag and Drop drummer. It took me forever to get Slow Blast working. By the way, these two utilities are made by companies other than Cakewalk. They are the striped down version of the actual program that they sell. Sounds like they are trying to hook you into buying more stuff. They took great care in writing the tutorials, but there some gaping holes as far as trouble shooting and FAQ's. None of them answered my problems. You also really have to fight with it to get it to work. It looks easy to use, but looks are deceiving- which I found out is the case with most Cakewalk products... Tech support from Cakewalk is TERRIBLE! I can't emphasize this enough. My e-mails were never returned and the phone was always busy. There is nothing on the website that answers any questions you may have about Guitar Tracks, and the ftp "Patch site" has been down every time I tried to log on...

So either save your money, or wait until V2.0 comes out... because you can't have your cake and eat it too with this program... that's for sure.
