An error popped up when trying to install and said that it cannot find a certain file. I tried to cancel the install and it said that it cannot read disk. Either this software is full of bugs or it secretly contains spyware and adaware.

Pros
easy to understand interface (incredibly intuitive!), cool included sounds, it connected with my external MIDI device immediately (the current version of Cakewalk took me two weeks). you can play from the computer-keyboard or from an external device, and can save WAV files.
Cons
the help files/tutorials are not included, and you're limited to 5 note/voice polyphony in the free version.
<p>the computer keyboard-to-notes was a little confusing ... could use a map or something of which keys play which notes ... and i didn't find the 'vocoder' feature (which is why i downloaded it in the first place).
