You have THE best software of its type backed by THE best support staff I have ever seen, AND you get the benefit of THE best forum user base anywhere. Way too many product support forums are filled with people who prefer to be condescending and treat people who don't know something as if they are lesser life forms. Not this one. These folks are extremely willing to help you learn. And there are deep dark corners of this software that I don't even know about yet, and it's been just under 7 years for me since I got my first copy and joined.

In your music travels you will run into people who know songs but not music. Here you have strong players AND people strong in fundamentals and theory. And the use of the software, while it is easy once you know it, takes a while to reach the "know it" stage. I learned YESTERDAY how to put automation into tracks. (Thank you Rog!) You will also find people who are willing to take time and help you with your actual songs if you want that. I have worked with Rog (me in Ohio, him in England) on at least a dozen songs, ranging from him playing parts for me and engineering final mixes and his students singing my songs and adding backing vocals. A couple he has redone completely and in each case made me think "Why didn't I write it that way in the first place?"

VERY good userbase here!
