Advantages: Easy to use, Powerful professional recording solution

Disadvantages: Quite hard to run alongside other music software

Sonic Foundry Vegas is basically a drag and drop multitrack hard disk recording program, and is one of the most easy to use music programs I have had the pleasure of using, this simple interface does not, however, mean a lack of power. There is more to this program than meets the eye.

At its simplest level, Vegas can be used by creating as many tracks as needed and then either dragging and dropping audio files in to each track (it accepts most audio files, including mp3, wav, RealAudio etc.), or by recording from scratch (either track by track, or multitrack if your soundcard supports it).

From there, you can move around and arrange the audio, add directx effects to each channel or even add video. crossfades and timestretching are also possible.

On a more advanced level, it is possible to bounce the tracks to a single track to save power.

I find that the best way to use Vegas is to put together a final track after creating parts in other programs, and then adding any live instruments on top. This is a very powerful tool and a joy to be used.
