Query: Hardware 4 stars,Software minus 3

The "Lexicon" is a simple mixer with a USB jack.Works great for one person recording guitars with piezo pickups with preamps or magnetic pickups.But not with the accompanied software.This is my first attempt at digital recording and had a impossible time (using Vista)with the software that came with this product. I purchased a high user rated software from Amazon for $67 to use use with this hardware now it works great.A recording studio this is not.This is a mixer in need of good, not poor, software.I suggest searching/purchasing/testing Recording software first.
