So $50 for the full version of Tracktion 4? Is there a catch?

No, that's the price. You aren't getting any bundleware with it though, or a box I assume, so a lot of the overhead on most DAWs is gone right there.V0RT3X wrote:It seems like such a low price for such an immense DAW! Am i missing something? Is this like a LE edition you upgrade later to?
I think the idea is to pitch it at the "I don't really need to justify this" price-point. Even for users with other DAWs having T around just because it is blazing fast to open, record some tracks and close makes it a useful adjunct to almost anything.

Well i already own a ton of expensive plugins, so I won't be needing any addon stuff. Wow this is great!valley wrote:No, that's the price.

TSC are not Mackie, but they have to get back all the people who switched to other DAW's because of Mackies "No-Talking-to-Tracktioneers-Policy".
These Ex-Tracktioneers would have been bought expensive DAW's in the meantime and do not want to spend another lot of money for another DAW. 59 $ is ok for all, I think. At this price many people will switch back. No big risk. It is a full version. I think you will pay later for new major versions an upgrade fee, but this is usual.

Ex-Tracktioneers don't pay $59, they pay a flat upgrade fee of $29, regardless if from version 1, 2 or 3.mfkne wrote:… Ex-Tracktioneers would have been bought expensive DAW's in the meantime and do not want to spend another lot of money for another DAW. 59 $ is ok for all, I think.

Upgrading nearly ten year old software that is two versions out of date for 50% of an already low price, is kind of unheard of. As a statement of good faith, I really don't think it can be beat.

When I registered at the new website, I was not recognized as a T3 license holder and was not offered the option of an upgrade.Spitfire31 wrote:Ex-Tracktioneers don't pay $59, they pay a flat upgrade fee of $29, regardless if from version 1, 2 or 3.mfkne wrote:… Ex-Tracktioneers would have been bought expensive DAW's in the meantime and do not want to spend another lot of money for another DAW. 59 $ is ok for all, I think.

There's a bunch of account migration issues that they're running into over at TSC. Pretty much everyone here seems to be in the same boat in some way or another.Integratron wrote:When I registered at the new website, I was not recognized as a T3 license holder and was not offered the option of an upgrade.Spitfire31 wrote:Ex-Tracktioneers don't pay $59, they pay a flat upgrade fee of $29, regardless if from version 1, 2 or 3.mfkne wrote:… Ex-Tracktioneers would have been bought expensive DAW's in the meantime and do not want to spend another lot of money for another DAW. 59 $ is ok for all, I think.

downloading the demo now, have never used it. ableton user since v4 so itll be a plunge but i feel like the price point is too nice to at least not check out.
can anyone summarize a quick list of pros and cons of the software?

very flexible routing.
zero to recording time is hard to beat if you're in a hurry to capture some jamming magic
efficient UI layout.
responsive devs (again)
cons:
you don't get a studio in a box
the midi editor could do with some love
it does pitch shifting and the like, but not to the level of live.
My sense is that even if I had found something to replace Tracktion in my heart, I'd still be all over T4 just for those "I need to get this down now" moments.

Not counting the "Mackie era" the price is pretty much in line
with the whole Tracktion tradition.
Tracktion was always relatively inexpensive.
It's part of it's charm.
