Critic Reviews

Cakewalk V-Studio 20 review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The V-Studio 20 shines as an entry-level recording solution for guitarists, offering ease of use and impressive DSP effects without taxing your CPU. Its built-in mics are a practical touch for capturing ideas on the fly. However, the package is let down by mediocre supplied audio/MIDI content and a lack of hardware undo functionality. Despite these drawbacks, the straightforward operation and minimal CPU impact make it a worthwhile purchase, especially for netbook users and those nostalgic for the simplicity of old-school multitrackers. It's a solid start for guitarists venturing into digital recording.
