I bought Light Snake for a Christmas present for some aspiring young musicians. The text on the package indicated that the product would work with most audio-recording software. I can tell you that it doesn't. I tried everything I could dream up to make it work. I even tried to install one of the demo software packages that came with the Light Snake cord. The software wouldn't run unless I gave it my car's VIN, my driver's license, house keys and my mother's maiden name (figuratively of course -- for, um, "registration" purposes). Since that was an unacceptable solution and the product wouldn't work on anything I have at my disposal (including Cakewalk [itself an extremely glitchy product]), I had to capitulate to the 10' money-eating boa. It reminds me of the days when my dad used to curse the easy-to-assemble toys I used to get from Santa.
