Can't import drum machines from keyboards. When choosing a drum map close to what I have, it won't go out my sound card. Only midi and Roland soft synths, forcing you to use their synths and hours of editing. When recording via midi, the songs play very slowly forcing you to reload the program. When recording midi, some tracks notes take on a mind of their own needing time consuming editing. TT-1 has some nice sounds and notation features but I wish it had where I can choose a series on notes and change the length and velocity of just one section in a track instead of the whole track. When altering notes in an existing drum map to match my keyboard, no sound came out. Sometimes when playing back a song, the volume and instruments will default to a certain setting causing you to record a new track and reload. This is a good starter kit and has many limitations but I guess that's with all non full versions of software.

I bought this from Amazon and the audio was a real problem for us. We couldn't figure out how to get sound through the speakers. Also, the recording feature would not work at all, it kept dropping out. My son got another one; The old 2002 version (XP) which runs perfect on his Gateway computer that runs Vista. I would hesitate buying this version!
