Should I?

[MadAudio]

Long story short, I got a second Layla cheap and it came with a demo of n-track. I'm not sure which version, 'cause I already had the Layla drivers installed and didn't need to crack open the CD-ROM that came with the new Layla. My OS is XP Pro, and I'm already running Vegas 5, Acid Pro 4, Sound Forge 6, CD Architect 5 (can you tell I like Sonic Foundry?). I do everything 24 bit. Right now, all my needs are met with these programs. So....

Should I even try n-track? From the little I've read, it seems loyal n-track users are LOYAL! But can it do anything I can't already do with what I've got? Or can it do anything better? I don't have the luxury of time to just install it and play with it. So I call on you, n-track users. What's do you think?

I love it ... I find it very easy to use, works flawlessly with my MOTU 828mkII.
I use it primarily for multi-tracking and mixing down.
I also have Acid 4.0, Sound Forge 7 and CD Architect 5.
It is a slightly different learning curve than what Sony is, but it's easy none the less.
The value of your time is something only you can assess, but myself I enjoy trying new things out.
~Nothing ventured .... Nothing gained~
If you decide that you Should .... I would suggest that you grab up on Ver. 3.3 , though the Beta ver. 4 is coming along nicely.

OK, two yay votes so far, but my main questions haven't really been answered.

Can n-track do anything I can't already do with what I've got?
Or can it do anything better?

Native VST/VSTi and Rewire support.

Ah, that's more like it! Yeah Vegas doesn't support VST, I think.

OK, anyone else?
