Easy to learn and use

Pros: This software has a nice intuitive interface, that makes for a smooth learning curve and easy operation. You can layer recordings over each other (imported wavs and mp3s too) for effects like voice over music. Dead air and coughs etc can be cut out easily, and recording quality is as good as your hardware. For those complaining about the promo announcement that gets recorded over your work in the trial version, this is flagged pretty clearly before you download, and the full version, at $49.99, is a bargain.

Cons: The software will create wavs and mp3 files, but getting the settings right for mp3s takes a bit of trial and error - the default settings for mp3 are low quality, and variable bitrate, which means that they play too fast on Flash-based web players and won't burn to an audio CD. But get the settings right, and the rest is a dream.
