There are however, more than 30 effects included with X1 Essentials. There was one oddity: we couldn't register the included copy of Amplitube X-GEAR, a fine-looking guitar amp and effects simulator, because it kept asking for a Zip code. A little familiarity with the way that mixing desks and effects chains work, in the real world, is invaluable here. Recording MIDI or audio is relatively straightforward, though newcomers may have to get their heads round routing, to achieve the desired results. Hook up a cheap MIDI keyboard (widely available for under £50) and you've got all the sounds, sequences and loops you'll need, to start making all types of music. Plus, a selection of sampled instruments - bass, drums, electric piano and strings, which allow you to play individual notes, but they also include a wide selection of pre-recorded sequences you can use.

This also includes Dimension LE (400 sounds, including the highly thought of Garritan Pocket Orchestra), the Dropzone sampler and the Square 1 vintage analogue-style synth.

There are certainly enough instruments to get you started, including the TTS-1 multi-timbral General MIDI Level 2 synth (good standard sounds, nice drums) and the Sound Center 3 (150 different instruments including some clever electric guitar effects - but no strummed guitars).

In our experience, your PC will conk out long before you reach those limits, so to all intents and purposes it'll handle any home recording project.

X1 Essentials can record unlimited MIDI tracks (remember these only contain instructions that tell the software instruments what to play and thus don't take up many resources) - as well as 64 tracks of digital audio (32-bit only). This is extremely useful, because X1 Essentials eats up a lot of screen real-estate (though it does support multiple monitors) and in this way, you can create dedicated screens for editing, mixing and so on. Windows can be dragged around and re-arranged to suit your way of working and it's then possible to save the layout in one of 10 ‘sets' which you can flip between, depending what you're doing. Underneath, everything is a tabbed area where you can display a range of components such as the mixing desk, loop creator and more. The main arrangement window is in the middle, transport and editing controls at the top, a channel strip down one side and the media pool on the other. Despite the makeover, X1 Essential's screen layout is pretty conventional. We still think the entire process is too opaque and believe that more could be done, to make the documentation more accessible, better organised and easier to follow.

We paired X1 Essential, with a Lexicon Lambda MIDI/audio interface, where after a few shenanigans (the Lambda's fault, thanks to unsophisticated Windows 7 drivers) we were up and running.
