Centralized audio and MIDI recording

Home Studio is designed to let you concentrate on creating music, instead of getting bogged down with confusing software. It's all laid out in an intuitive Track window that lets you quickly record, edit, arrange, and mix your music.
It doesn't matter what you want to record: guitars, keyboards, vocals, live turntable scratches, CD samples, or any other sound source. Home Studio puts it all together seamlessly.
