User Reviews:
Feature:
Based on my experience with previous versions
Quality:
As with ease of use, the lack of a PDF manual to download and preview, plus terrible customer service, pull down the quality of the product itself. These are not unrelated.
Desirability:
Get Reaper or Cubase. Really.
Sound:
Based on my experience with previous versions
Ease of Use:
Had to rate the ease of use as terrible, not due to the program’s interface, but two important criteria: 1) An absolute lack of a PDF online. Further, while the full Sonar version is available online, there is no way to download the Home version for tryout. And if you did, you won’t have a PDF manual to work from anyway. 2) They have so far failed to send me the serial number in order to install this upgrade. 6 emails and 6 attempted calls have not gotten through.
Support:
I’ve been a user of Cakewalk products for over ten years. The support on my most recent purchase has been horrendous. All I asked for was the proper serial number for the product that I purchased directly from their site. They take nearly a week to answer emails, and their phone system is often offline during posted working hours. Incredible.
Overall:
I am so disappointed.
Drumatic is composed entirely with straight ahead rock, pop and country drum loops. This CD is all you’ll need to add that perfect combination of live drum recordings to your next project. Add more rhythmic depth to your productions with the click of a mouse.
