n-Track Studio Review
Cheap but severly lacking

You can buy it at RegNow for that price.
Cheap, Good Track Navigation
Poor User interface, lacking features, slow, not intuitive
When I opened up n-Track for the first time frankly I was unimpressed with its user interface. It appeared bloated, unintuitive, cluttered and the buttons and controls were poorly designed. Rearranging boxes was difficult.
Recording was remarkably easy and navigation among the multiple tracks was impressive. I much perfer the track navigation to many of the multitrack editers I have used but it still leaves much to be desired.
When importing a song, my (quite fast) computer froze for about 30 seconds. Once loaded however it was easy to edit. N-track offers a few nicely-featured effects but not nearly as many as Cakewalk, audacity etc. Unlike many of the multitrack editors I have used, N-track does not offer effects as modules that can be added but rather as defaults only. It is impossible to select a specific track for applying effects which is quite aggravating.
Overall, I think this program has potential. With a GUI facelift and a major rethinking of control panel designs it could be a viable competitor with many of the top multitrack editors available today. Until then, N-track is slightly lacking. While a nice program, it lacks the looks or power to warrant use and lags behind even free programs such as Audacity.
In itself, N-track is a decent program but it cannot compete with the plethora of fully featured programs available.
