It works well and the user interface is very flexible so that you can configure it to any view that you like. From a hardware perspective, we use Echo A/D D/A which had an occasional glitch due to their software driver (its been fixed). For glitch free recording your computer needs a lot of RAM (over 1GB) and a fast hard disk.

I am a serious singer/songwriter, and have recorded with the big studios. It's time to stop paying the big bucks to these guys and build my own. I have a top of the line computer, so I don't think compatabilty will be an issue. Any and all input would be quite helpful!
