Which I've considered...I have a few songs I wrote that I consider decent material, even if I was too young, stupid/inexperienced,, and ill-equipped to bring to fruition.

If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered That means that one you've recorded those 4 trax, decided on reverb, panning, level, etc, and do the bounce...IT'S DONE and can't be changed. So when you end up adding new trax, they often don't play nice together.Effects routing is less obvious than I expected, and the settings are sometimes not obvious at first glance because they are displayed on such a small screen. There are significant compromises on the display side of things that can sometimes be frustrating although the effects, when you get them, are limited but not bad quality. This is however a notepad, and reviewing it as a studio is somewhat missing the point. Use a single-band or multi-band mastering compressor and a normalizer to master your mixes manually Simple, intuitive user interface: Use real knobs and buttons for frequently-used functions or easily navigate through the menu
