ntrack vs cake

[bdemenil]

I use n-track. i love the interface. Is there any reason I should use cakewalk?


p.s. - i'm a little unhappy with skipping I get in n-track when I'm doing many tracks (20+), would cakewalk perform better?

well your comp probably cant handle more than 20 tracks, go to http://www.echoaudio.com to download the echo thingy to see how many tracks your comp can handle

I am impressed with the N-track software, for the price it cannot be beat. If it works for you, why fix it? I prefer CW because it offers many features that I have gotten used to over the years.

What kind of features does CW offer that n-track doesn't?

i think you would like cakewalk a lot better try downloading the demo at http://www.cakewalk.com to see if it will work for you.

Which is more user-friendly for the novice?

i would have to say n-track if you dont require a lot feature and you want to get your feet wet.

I am used to the editing features of cw and also file management, not to mention metronome settings and import/export of file types. These things make it very easy to create loops and arrange songs from your samples. As an example, you can take an 8 bar verse with a simple change or two, and turn it into a completed 4-5 minute song with a few mouse clicks.
As for features, I look at my 500 or so page manual and think, there is to much to list.
