Don't let this review throw you off, obviously I'm not made to read big "manuals." It's very informative but my attention started drifting immediately. Five minutes of watching a Youtube tutorial and I had my first tracks recorded in 3 minutes. But hey, if you've got the time and the patience I'm sure it covers everything you need to know. I'm definitely more visual when it comes to learning.
