Yes, I tested it in the past. It’s decent software, but I think other alternatives mentioned in the article are more intuitive. Still, great suggestion, thank you for the reminder.

There is a free Lite version I’ve used for years to capture ideas and scratch tracks. I’ve also used it for voice over on company marketing videos, company phone system to record navigation prompts. The full standard version is only $69 for unlimited tracks and it supports VST plugins. or the Pro Edition for $119. Lifetime upgrades & license.

I started using Cakewalk Pro, then Sonar, Sonic Foundry’s Sound Forge, Acid Loops, Cubase VST24, Saw Pro, Cool Edit Pro, Fruity Loops, Hydrogen, Retro AS-1, Spectra Lab, …. stick with me I’m making a point here.

I started my journey in digital recording formats and software at the beginning. I’m old school. I know my DAW’s and multitracking, editing tools. I still have a laptop from 2007, top of the line in it’s time, running XP professional. It never connects to the web, and all those programs are loaded. Believe it or not, they are still functioning wonderfully. So, I know a thing or on the subject.

MulltitrackStudio is simple, intuitive, and the best available full-on recording, mixing, editng, and Mastering DAW, and midi intrument operation seemlessly. No matter whether your needs fit the LITE, Standard, or Pro. The price point for these features is punching way above it’s weight class. I d/l both Audacity and MultitrackStudio in 2018, to try them both. MultitrackStudio was the most user-friendly most obvious control layout and functionality was just better all around for me, and closer do that of that of the cakewalk. What love to know your thoughts.

Audacity is very beginner friendly and has tons of built in editing tools all for free.
