Summary: You Get What You Pay For
Review: For the price, this program has a lot of bells & whistles: a nice lead sheet creation tool, a keyboard window & a decent set of effects.
Unfortunately, editing is a nightmare, which defeats the purpose of having a multi-track platform. For example, once you select/highlight an area on a track that you wish to edit, you cannot de-select/unhighlight it. So you can't tweak or fine tune your initial highlighting. Along with this, there is no "undo" button that would allow you to deselect/unhighlight the area & do it again. Along the same vein, there is no way to fine tune placement of the cursor--it's point, click and pray. The best you can do is zoom in to the max and click the cursor where you want it. I've seen other programs that allow you to use left arrow/right arrow to fine tune your cursor placement at any level of zoom. Not so here. It seems goofy not to include these simple editing features but--you get what you pay for.

Summary: PowerTracks is a great program!
Review: PowerTracks is a great program and very easy to use. As someone very familiar with PowerTracks, I fail to see why the previous reviewer is complaining about the track highlighting. Clearly, you can highlight a track as many times as you want, either with the mouse, or with the F7 and F8 keys. I've never had a problem highlighting tracks or positioning the cursor. You could even type in the exact From/Thru times if you double-click on those fields on the toolbar. Editing, for me, has always been very easy with PowerTracks.

Don't let the price fool you. This program is very powerful and is very easy to use.
