n-Track Studio Review

I consider myself well qualified to judge music production programs; In the last 4 or 5 years I have purchased several products in the same vein as N-Track, spending anywhere from $30 to $1200. I have bought Cubase, several Cakewalk programs, and most recently Pro Tools. But my very first home "music studio" program was N-Track. And I can say with the utmost definity, in the realm of home studio sofware N-Track should be considered a tinker toy. If Cubase were Mercedes and Digidesign were Cadillac, N-Track would be Fischer-Price.

That's not to say that high-end is for everyone. Say you are a starter musician. You may not need all of the effects and features that N-Track lacks. You may just want something simple, easy, and fun. In that case...you should still stay away from N-Track.

The layout causes nothing but frustration, and even the most fundamental aspects of music production prove to be a nightmare. In terms of navigation, even Columbus would get lost in this program.

So with simplicity out the window, one is left wondering just who N-Track is trying to target. With a serious lack of features, it certainly isn't the serious musician. But with a difficult and cluttered interface, there's no way a beginner would want this.

The simple answer is, that N-Track is targeting no one. And in targeting no one, it appeals to no one.
