skude,
Please don't be discouraged by the naysayers. My Audya sounds fantastic. My friend HankB came over this morning and even though he has an SD5, he was blown away by the sound.
He has been ill and only now able to get out much, so he hadn't heard it live before.
So far, I have tried to go through every style and find which songs they fit, find the lead sounds I want to use, then save to Registration (takes about 2 seconds to save).
I edited one sound so far, and customized both the mic/vocalizer settings and the overall e.q. I have also remixed a few styles, changing some of the distorted guitars, and adjusting some style part volumes.
Other than save my Custom Start-up preferences, I haven't done anything else except PLAY. It's as close to playing with a live band as you can get, without hiring some side men.
