This is an excellent recording platform. I have four CDs that I put together using this program & I love the way things come together. Most recently, I had a problem in recording with my new Win 8 computer. I was recording a simple guitar track & the sound cut out after a few seconds. I found the solutions in the FAQ forum, it had to do with a "noise suppression" options that was checked in my sound device. I unchecked it and now the recording sounds like it should. Thank you!
