Cake Walk

A Service Review
by Lin Stone

Cake Walk is STOPPED, and every letter in it is capitalized for emphasis.

For all I know Cake Walk has some great products.  If the software you got from them installed and works, I am glad for you.  I am not reviewing the products.  I am reviewing the service.  

It stinks.

Worse,

it is nonexistent.

Oh sure, they have some FAQS up, and once those directions are exhausted in fruitless pursuit, I was left stranded with a product that would not function, and nowhere to turn.

Some companies could care less what happens to you after you buy something.

Cake Walk is one of those companies.

On to more pleasant reviews.

• To edit your sketch, click on the "selection" tool (the dashed square) to activate the "edit" mode. In the sketch pad, drag a rectangle around the area you want to edit. You may use the tools below the "selection" tool to duplicate, erase, reverse, and invert the selected area.
• To adjust the tempo of your musical sketch, select the turtle or rabbit to make it play slow or fast.
• To listen to the composition you've sketched, click on the conductor. This will bring up a QuickTime player where you can play back your music.
