I just moved back to Windows, been a MAC user for quiet some time. And I'm happy I did, as I'm using mostly Wusikstation and this new GrooveBox solution on all my songs.

CPU usage is just extremely low, I'm really impressed by that.

Its very easy to quickly create grooves and drum-tracks with this program. There are some videos provided to help you along, just visit the products page to see them. I bet wusik will release more in the future.

I'm using mostly my own sounds in WAV format. So I load each sound on a new layer. Having 6 layers really helps. As I can process each sound individually. For instance, my snare drum I add a Gate Reverber, right inside the program, using the INSERT option.

I can also filter and EQ each layer, which is very nice.

Since it uses the same engine as wusikstation, they offer an integrated version. What does that mean? That you can actually use Wusikstation for everything. Using only one program for both solutions.

I'm doing that, so I always add ws to my tracks, and decide what I will do next.

Each step has a shift option, so you can make a step delay a bit or just play ahead. This is handy, so you can keep things at 1/16 of time per step and make adjustments as you go. The swing option is also great, to make the patterns play more like an human drummer. I usually leave it off, as I like to do my own shift-per-step options. Having a FLAM option per step is also nice, to create more dynamic grooves.

I'm not using the bass/synth options much, but from the video I see from wusik's site, it seems to be very easy.

The program is very stable, haven't had any crashes yet. Suport is top-notch, as I had to request a new download url due to some local problems, and williamk replied me in 5 minutes. Impressive. I had some problems with wusikstation before, and williamk found a solution in a few hours. I see that he's been on the forum a lot, so you can always reach him.

Right now, from what I see, the program only come with one set of drum-sounds. But since I use my own sounds, its not a problem. And today I read from Wusik's site that they will offer more free sounds to current users, so that's a plus.

Value for the money? I would say, SUPERB! 50 bucks for new users, or you can get with a membership, which I did, for free!!

I'm still learning my way around the program, but its very simple to use after you watch the videos they provide.
