Great but buggy
So far Im relatively happy with this application. The sound I get out of this is much more natural than garageband. The effects, amps, and cabs are all wonderful and theres a lot to customize.
The problems I have are with inconsistancy and a few bugs.
Sometimes Ill open a saved amp setup and it will sound completely different than it did before. There will be huge ammounts of feedback and buzzing, but when I restart the program it goes back to normal.
Sometimes my headphones wig out and get choppy and I have to turn my guitar off and back on to get the sound normal again.
The Recording function is bare bones. This is not necissarily bad, but I feel more could have been done. You can view and scroll through the wavelength of recordings, but there is no indication that it is playing other than the sound is playing. The scrubber should move along the wavelength as it plays, and at least give me the option to trim my recordings in some way.
But of all these little problems, the biggest is when deleting a previous recording (and if youre anything like me there will be many many recordings to delete). The quick keys do not work. Command + Delete does not work. And When deleting tracks you can only delete them one at a time. Right clicking them one by one to delete them is a slow and tedious process. And sometimes when deleting recordings the whole program will lock up and all your recordings will disappear and become unplayable until you restart the program.
Most of the problems here are simple bugs that can get very annoying. Please fix these because the core program is beautiful and rich. When it works properly this is the best guitar software Ive used to date bar none.
