Powerful

This app is powerful with lots of useful features. I felt I got my money’s worth. Unfortunatly, it is not a quick learn. You may need to read the manual. Especially when mapping functions to soft controls and to hard controls. I didn’t find that process to be very intuitive. I think there should be better on screen instruction as least on fisrt run of the software.

First impression: I’m happy with the purchase. The documentation is decent, so I should be able to learn how to use it without hassle; it will just take time.
Be aware that this program takes up a considerable amount of hard disk space especially with all of the (optional) addittional content (loops, instrument voices, effects, etc.)

BUGS/Trouble Exeperienced:
Running on an October 2013 MacBook Pro Retina i5 8GB RAM: I had some issues with the graphics of mute and solo buttons not responding on the mixer (channel strips). They functionaly worked, but the on/off graphics didn’t update. The looper effect crashed the program once and the metronome didn’t seem to work correctly with the looper.
