I never meant that the program wasn't amazing and worth it. I have a friend who tried all programs avaliable and end up using seq24 . And he makes awesome stuff with it.
I'm not saying you don't have to buy it. I'm just saying that you can try another pieces of software, maybe (if your bugdet is low) ANOTHER option may suit for your particular needs. For example, i just use the modern computer for recording+FX's. No need to buy anything (on linux there are ardour and LADSPA fx's - among a lot, just naming some). Even better, you can donate to make ardour more awesome.
