      "This program is almost unusable"

      October 29, 2011  |   By djsunkid

      Version: Anvil Studio 2011.10.05

      Pros

      Well, what do you expect for a completely free software package?

      Cons

      Oh, I don't know, how about the ability to at least resize the panes of the different elements of the program? Being able to zoom in or out on times of music? Being able to see things like velocity and pitch bend in the editor? AUGH!

      Summary

      I QUIT!!!!!

      "Excellent package."

      July 31, 2011  |   By donkpowers

      Version: Anvil Studio 2011.007.01

      Pros

      A very good collection of features assembled to meet the needs of beginners through accomplished amateurs. I really like the ability to write music in traditional notation.

      Cons

      I found no negative aspects in the application. I decided to go with a more modular approach in my developments, using a VST host and plugins. The skin is not particularly flashy or mod, but hey, we're making music, right?

      Summary

      The software performs as advertised, has room to grow with the artist, and I recommend it.

      "Product sucks"

      July 3, 2011  |   By EFH44444

      Version: Anvil Studio 2011.06.15

      Pros

      Every not, every beat, every time I tried to do anything, the program said I'd committed 'violations' there are no "pros" to this and it is not user friendly

      Cons

      Wouldn't allow any notes played in succession

      Summary

      don't bother its not worth the aggravation and didn't deserve the one star I gave it.

      "Incredible"

      April 2, 2011  |   By tolecnal

      Version: Anvil Studio 2009.11.08

      Pros

      Virtual instruments

      Cons

      I cannot find anything in your software to be conned about

      Summary

      I lost my home, all my stuff, my computers (5) all my instruments and recording studio in a fire. I had no Insurance. I was left with nothing. I met a man on the streets of Saint Vincent and he having been a victim of disasters himself asked me what would help me... and I answered "a computer" He took me to the nearest computer sales room and bought me an HP laptop..Look at that..Then I went To CNET and began looking for music production software, and I came upon your download...I now can begin to create my songs again without even a roof over my head....Music is my life and I am learning how to use your software and I know I will make a masterpiece because you have put this superb tool at our disposal. Thank you Anvil Studio.I am Lancelot Da Vincy Chapman President of C.U.A.B.A Enterprises and a Publisher Member of The Performing Rights Society
