You also have serious effects that come with Music Creator 6 such as the AmpliTube 3 CS that provides an epic guitar amp tone. Music Creator FX which comes with studio-quality effects that can be used on any track or bus (group of tracks) simultaneously.
You can mix your music in Music Creator 6 using professional effects and production tools. Using the Console View, you get a real hardware mixing look through the use of volume controls, panning, EQ, effects and more. Music Creator's Console view emulates the hardware-style mixing consoles used in professional studios.

You can sculpt your sound using a built-in graphical EQ and an effects bin so that you can fill each track with whatever it needs to make it come to life. The EQ allows you to shape the tone of a particular instrument so that it fits with the rest of the sounds. Each effects bin can hold multiple processors so you can add additional space to vocals with reverb, add punch and fatness to drums with compression, or add character to instrument sounds with delay, modulation, and more.

Don't buy this product!! It's full of problems. Error messages and will not load and some even reported crashing the computer. I bought it and have about 7 redirects on a two hour phone call that got me part of the download. I took it back because I never could get it to load on vista, which it says it's compatible with. Ten thumbs down and I'll never waste my money or time on this product or any Cakewalk product ever again

I'm posting again as an update to my first st. I did get it to load on my laptop but when I try to open the program it will not open and causes my computer to crash. I'm not the only one this happens to. I'd advise everyone to go look at how many others this is happening to. Once you but this product, it's yours and nobody including the company will refund for this piece of crap. You get what you pay for and here's a prime example. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT OR YOU WILL BE SORRY YOU DID!!!!!!!!

in response to spanalaskaman, this product works for me without error messages. Maybe it's your computer's problem. However, I don't like the sounds it comes with. And I have to pay $100 for the extension packs? Guess it's more worth it to buy a $500 dollar product rather than this $60 software that you will eventually spend more money on for better soft synths.

It works best if you already have some vst's installed in your computer. This program works fine for me. I'm not sure what's wrong with your pc. But I'm sure that you will need tons of memory available in order to run this program effectively.

Useless....do NOT buy this

I think the program is a giveaway and is best value on the market.
The softsynths alone are worth the cost. Quality is first class and good enough to make a world class CD

Well Spanalaskaman, whats probably wrong is your computer. I havent bought this product, but i have bought windows Vista. THATS a piece of crap. I think Vista was one of the worst Windows ever.
Now, what i really want to know is:
for those who have used this product and are satisfied with it, does it have good sound, how much more did you spend on extra products for enhancement, etc. I want to know if this product is worth my time. This is because i have a Floor POD Plus, and ive heard many recordings with it and the Music Creator, and they sound fine. IS it worth it??

I have Music Creator 6 on my home studio PC and my Dell Latitude notebook and have no tech issues on either. I must state that knowing the heavy ram and processing requirements for Music Creator 6 I bought a new PC (put together a Tiger Direct "Bare Bones" system with 8 Gig of ram and a Quadcore processor)and added 2 Gig more ram to my notebook. This program needs a computer with a bare minimum 2 Gig of Ram and I recommend at least 4 gig if you really want it to run smoothly.
The program is great and loaded with a ton of really nice effects (delays,reverbs, compression, EQ, etc) and once you figure out how to use it you will be very impressed. I transfer tracks from my Tascam (2488) 24 track digital workstation and mix in the PC. I also just got a Behringer BCF2000 digital controller that works really well with Music Creator 6 so I have "hands on" experience with physical faders, pans, and other parameters.
My only complaint is the lack of documentation. There is no decent manual for this software. They only give you a very basic start up guide that is almost useless so a lot it was trial and error on my part based on past experiences with recording software.

As far as the sound goes: it's like the old computer nomenclature "GIGO" garbage in,garbage out. Music Creator records in perfect digital quality and replicates what comes into it perfectly. If the signal you give Music Creator is distorted, noisy or just not good acoustically, the program will record what it gets perfectly (crappy sound included). Plan on getting a break out USB preamp with the type of inputs you need (microphone, line etc.). No matter what you may read you won't get a good clean signal from your computers built in sound card with the 1/8 inch mic input or line input. Music Creator can give you pro results but only if you use a few semi-pro (and not too expensive) add on's like a good preamp (under $100.00) and a decent condenser mic (try an MXL 990 also under $100.00 as a starter). This is not a toy or game software, it is serious recording software that requires time and effort to learn and patience to get quality results. You'll be amazed at the end result.

Dear Rick Holly,
You've given me the answer I needed. Thank you for your extensive comment. I'm going to be investing in this software, along with the condenser mic you suggested. Do you have any suggestions for a preamp?
