Product Description

From the Manufacturer

PowerTracks Pro Audio Version 12 is a full-featured digital audio and MIDI sequencing program that allows you to record and edit tracks, add effects, burn to CD, and much more! With version 12, we’ve added over 20 powerful new features, including Audio Chord Wizard 2.0, RealDrums live audio drum tracks, new remix and arrange features, and Vista Support. It’s the perfect tool for musicians, students, and songwriters alike.

New in Version 12 is the Audio Chord Wizard 2.0, which automatically and accurately figures out the chords from MP3, WMA, and WAV audio files. Another exciting new feature is RealDrums, which allows you to instantly generate audio drum tracks that use real recordings of drummers— not single drum hit samples, but full 1- to 8-bar recordings of styles such as Rock, Pop, Jazz, and Country. Add a RealDrums track to an old recording or a MIDI guitar part imported from Band-in-a-Box – they will play in perfect sync to the original MP3 file. Version 12 also includes enhanced notation and editing features, TranzPort wireless DAW support, automatic sequence file backup, and much more!

5.0 out of 5 stars PowerTracks is a great program!, July 9, 2004

By 

Jay (Northeast) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PowerTracks Pro Audio Version 11 (CD-ROM)

PowerTracks is a great program and very easy to use. As someone very familiar with PowerTracks, I fail to see why the previous reviewer is complaining about the track highlighting. Clearly, you can highlight a track as many times as you want, either with the mouse, or with the F7 and F8 keys. I've never had a problem highlighting tracks or positioning the cursor. You could even type in the exact From/Thru times if you double-click on those fields on the toolbar. Editing, for me, has always been very easy with PowerTracks.

Don't let the price fool you. This program is very powerful and is very easy to use.

2.0 out of 5 stars You Get What You Pay For, June 27, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: PowerTracks Pro Audio Version 11 (CD-ROM)

For the price, this program has a lot of bells & whistles: a nice lead sheet creation tool, a keyboard window & a decent set of effects.
Unfortunately, editing is a nightmare, which defeats the purpose of having a multi-track platform. For example, once you select/highlight an area on a track that you wish to edit, you cannot de-select/unhighlight it. So you can't tweak or fine tune your initial highlighting. Along with this, there is no "undo" button that would allow you to deselect/unhighlight the area & do it again. Along the same vein, there is no way to fine tune placement of the cursor--it's point, click and pray. The best you can do is zoom in to the max and click the cursor where you want it. I've seen other programs that allow you to use left arrow/right arrow to fine tune your cursor placement at any level of zoom. Not so here. It seems goofy not to include these simple editing features but--you get what you pay for.

This review is from: PowerTracks Pro Audio Version 11 (CD-ROM)

The title indicates that this item is PowerTracks Pro Audio Version 11.0. However, the written description only talks about Version 8.0. Which version is being offered here?????
