"Looks are deceiving."

The program seems to have been perfectly created to meet all the consumer's needs...except maybe for how it sounds. I had really hoped for something that sounded as good as this looked.
Sound
The sound synthesizers included with Kinetic are really of a poor quality. The grand exception would be the drums and the bass sounds. Still, looking for a good lead or pads is incredibly hard - this is why I wouldn't recommend this too highly.
Features
Everything you need is included in Kinetic, except for recording audio.
Ease of Use
Kinetic is unbelievable easy to use (once you become acquainted with it, of course). A MIDI keyboard really makes recording any drum rhythms you have a snap. Arranging is also easy, although because of the poor quality of many sounds, I haven't yet found a way to arrange the best into a song...
Quality
It's easy to use, and you can get some great drum sounds from it, but don't expect to use for anything more than drums!
Value
For the price, it's worth it just to mess around with - there are definitely a few fun sounds, but if you're on a strict budget (like I am), I recommend for you to save up for something else.
Manufacturer Support
The manual is concise, which is good for those that want to quickly learn something about Kinetic, but it doesn't talk in depth about some of the more complicated facets of the program.
The Wow Factor
It's definitely inviting to use, and has an easiness to use to complement it!

"Get Kinetic"
If I didn't know about project 5 I'd probably stick with for a year or two, but it's like getting high.after while you gon get used to it and aint fun so from there you star experiment with other things
Sound
I'll be honest with you if you want to start making beats and you don't have any experiance this is where want to go.I only had for 3 months but since then I done made and sold numerous beats, but if you get, the thing is you got to keep messing wit.And on the real it's probably the only software you can get under 100 with industry sounds.
Features
You got to have other midi to get the full effect
Ease of Use
Easy as hell all it is clicking and counting
Quality
It ain know bull
Value
If got to pay the cost to be the boss,but in this case you can be a boss in a quarter of paycheck
