Software Reviews of Masterwriter Songwriting Software
Customer Review: masterwriter rocks
Summary: 5 Stars
this product rocks. why? 'cause it's so stinkin' fast. you're not closing one song and opening another-- like i have to do with word. you're one click away from your whole catalogue and from there, one click away from lyrics, or sketches, or whatever. it's as if everything is open all at once, which is to say you can write as fast as you can think-- then you can turn on a dime and tear into a new song, then back again-- which is huge. HUGE.
also you can record with this thing, which i don't need, but is cool. the rhyming dictionary is sweet; the way it keeps a list of favorites helps a lot. not to mention SongGaurd, or being able to file songs in groups, or the way it dovetails into your publishing company of choice. when you print a set of lyrics, it even throws your name on the bottom.
if you are a prolific writer, or working on multiple songs/projects (you could even use this thing for poetry, or any kind of writing for that matter) then this program is gonna help you organize, develop and navigate your material better than any other. worth the $200? most def.
if you are a struggling writer, 'cause either you have writer's block or because you're trying to be something you're not, then no program in the world will help you with that. all the complaints i've read above say more about the writers than they do the program. they seem to get more inspired busting on a program than writing songs. whateva, must've missed their calling, now they're pissed 'cause they can't go buy more talent points. it's the same with dogs and guns, folks-- it's the person behind the mechanism that should be blamed.
of course nothing is perfect, but this little gizmo is FAST, the fastest i've seen.
not to mention i called the phone number and realized that the guy's voice on the other end is the same voice that is recorded in the demo, which i thought was cool as well.
bottom line--this thing won't help you write if you suck-- 'cause nothing can make up for lacking the imagination, passion and wit that it takes to write a good song. but if you're looking to control and maximize creative bursts as well as to catch up on an immense back log of under-developed material (like ten boxes of handwritten/typed ideas in my case), the cash this masterwriter will save you in storage alone is worth every penny.
damn straight.
