Brand new from Cakewalk, producers of the world's finest audio sequencing software, comes Guitar Tracks, an entry level 8-track digital recording and mixing package designed specifically for guitarists. Guitar Tracks is simplicity itself to use, but still gives the user real power and control over their music.

Key Features

The Deluxe edition of Cakewalk Pro Audio 8 comes with the Musician's Toolbox III a weighty, two-CD-ROM collection of all new MIDI and audio files, utilities, digital video clips, and interactive tutorials designed to help you get the most out of Cakewalk Pro Audio. Over a gigabyte of multimedia data, along with the powerful Toolbox search engine.

Using familiar tape recorder style controls, even a novice computer user can quickly get to grips with recording and real time mixing as well as Guitar Tracks' many other features. After plugging any standard guitar into the PC using the cable provided, the guitarist can make use of the built in tuner or get straight down to recording, mixing or practice.

Guitar Tracks' SlowBlast™ revolutionises the age-old system of practising along to your favourite song to learn a phrase or solo. Sample a phrase from any audio CD and SlowBlast™ will loop your selection, and even slow it down, without changing the pitch. AmpSim Lite™ is a special edition of Cakewalk's Audio FX 2™ allowing the use to add realistic analogue simulation effects to recorded tracks. American Lead and British Overdrive both add

a great vintage feel to Guitar Tracks' output. For solo practice the Drag-and-Drop Drummer™ is a simple but invaluable tool for constructing professional quality drum tracks from a library of digital loops.

Overall, Guitar Tracks is a unique product, being affordable, accessible and guaranteed to produce great results. It is also completely upgradable as the users skills increase, with Cakewalk's Guitar Studio 2 adding higher-end features including more digital tracks and effects, MIDI editing as well as tablature and fretboard composing tools.
