What does this software do?

Since this company doesn't allow a possible future customer to download and evaluate their software, and since I don't see any money back refunds, I'm left trying to decide whether to part with my money on software that has nothing more than a few slick web pages to its name.  Yes, I'm speaking of you, Cakewalk Inc.

These things being so, perhaps someone can answer whether pyro Audio Creator does the following:

1) Replace/compete with Sonic Foundary's "Vegas Audio" (now owned by Sony) software?

2) Open multiple MP3 files and displayed in side by side WAV form strips?

3) Allow cutting/pasting/copying of selected portions of tracks?

4) Allow saving to MP3 format, and in high-def and MBR rates?

5) Allow audio envelopes to be applied to selected portions of the audio file(s)?

6) Record audio from sound card input channels?

Thank you for assistance

    Please see my comments below...

    >1) Replace/compete with Sonic Foundary's "Vegas Audio" (now owned by Sony) software?
    >
    Audio Creator is not a complete replacement for Sony Vegas. There are many features that Vegas offers such as multi-tracking and a full audio plug-in suite.

    >2) Open multiple MP3 files and displayed in side by side WAV form strips?

    No, Audio Creator is a stereo audio file editor, not multi-tracking software. Although, you cannot have 2 or more tracks playing back simultaneously, you can cross fade, edit, slice and dice just as you would in Vegas, but you are limited to doing this in one track.

    >3) Allow cutting/pasting/copying of selected portions of tracks?

    Yes. Please click here for some good video tutorials:

    >4) Allow saving to MP3 format, and in high-def and MBR rates?

    Yes. AC can save up to full resolution 320kbps mp3 files and high definition WAV files up 192k/24bit

    >5) Allow audio envelopes to be applied to selected portions of the audio file(s)?
    >
    Yes. Volume and pan envelopes can be drawn.

    >6) Record audio from sound card input channels?

    Yes, you can record audio from any available source on your sound card.

    Steve,

    Thank you for the reply.

    So...am I correct in that 1) There is no money back guarantee for software that Cakewalk sells?   2) That there is only 1 demo version (Sonar) among all the dozens of Cakewalk products they sell?  and 3) If Pyro Audio Creator is not a Vegas Audio replacement, does Cakewalk offer something that is more comparable to Vegas Audio, with multi track capabilities?

    Our return policies can be found here: http://www.store.cakewalk.com/b2cus/help.aspx
    We have other demo software available, such as Project 5 and Guitar Tracks Pro, but nothing for Audio Creator.
    If you want a moderately priced replacement for Vegas Audio, look into Music Creator 5, which is based on SONAR and has many capabilities Vegas does not have. You can download the latest SONAR demo here: http://www.cakewalk.com/support/kb/kb20081217.asp
    Please call 1-888-CAKEWALK (617-423-9004) or go to http://store.cakewalk.com/ for more information on purchases and upgrades.

    Best Regards.
