Jim i cut my teeth on Music creator, having used versions 1, 2.3, 3,and 5 which i still have. But i never enjoyed tracking in it.

It is a decent program, but for me no better than RB is here. Sure it allows use of jamstix timing lock, but i own Sonar X-1c which is MC's big brother. I also own Presonus studio one v 2 Producer, and they are far ahead of MC 6 in features.

Most of the MC products are usually one or two versions behind their Sonar brethrn in terms of production. MC6 is just getting skylight, but Sonar has had it since X-1 so really MC is Sonar X-1 lite.

If you really want a deal, and are a MC 5 owner you can upgrade to Sonar X-3 for the same $49 and have far more than MC offers
