Please share the preset, looks good! :)

I can't read 11 pages of uninformed people. ;)

For the people discussing colour schemes (the only topic that's not going to make me blow my top) I hope you enjoyed the KvR scheme. ;) The "Steel and Orange" one is scary at first, and a bit... er... non-masculine. But, it's pretty much the only one I use right now.

Excellent! Thanks for the info, Greg!

My post doesn't say that. ;) And if it did, there was a winkie next to it. <chuckle>

You mean it doesn't say that anymore. And a winkie's about as excusable as the much abused 'IMO'..

:roll:

Yeah, I agree. For what it's worth, obviously I went and changed it so quickly that there's not even an "edited by", so I realized that I didn't mean what I said in that way, so relax a bit on the trying to make me look like a bad person.

Bad person?!

I would have never suggested that..

I was answering a specific post (should have been obvious to you) which challenged whoever to show host GUI's more cluttered than Tracktion. All the GUI's I quoted are "more cluttered" than Tracktion.
:roll: thou knowest not what thou speakest...

oh yes, indeed - incredibly cluttered... :P

I already showed that Renoise isn't cluttered either...
But Clueless is obviously unaware of 20 years of trackers...
And none of the other sequencers' interfaces HAD to be cluttered, the examples he used were only cluttered because whoever made them CHOSE to put windows on top of each other, all over the place. He also failed to answer my question - how do I open and edit a VST in Tracktion without bringing up its GUI and making the interface 'cluttered'? (Since that's all the other sequencer pictures were showing, VSTs and other windows that you can CHOOSE to open or close, and resize and put anywhere you like on the screen.)
Tracktion is not my cup of tea, it isn't revolutionary, it doesn't help my workflow, and it isn't anything particularly new, as the example of trackers proves.
I've downloaded Podium and was wondering why the programmer deviated from using pull down menus, like every other (or most other) Windows programs use? Were they a problem?

I agree with you on most points - also the midi-editor has to be opened - I have mentioned this already several times but the Tracktion fanboyz won't listen and continue to claim than Tracktion is so uncluttered as it is all in one window.

You can e.g. set-up Sonar's (I guess by now the Tracktion fan-boyz have switched of their receiver) midi-editor so that it always opens anywhere on the screen where you like it to be opened and with any size and zooming factor - as soon as you double click on a midi-clip it opens - just like in Tracktion - you make a single click in the arrange window and it disappears - you double-click on another clip and it's there again - but unlike Tracktion it can show the data of several midi-tracks in the same editor, where each track's data is displayed with the respective colour of this track.

In Tracktion everything becomes a mess real quickly.

It actually is only uncluttered as long as you aren't really working with it. Try to display (say) the data of three tracks in the midi-editor and you'll see what I mean :-o - how on earth can you be so foolish as to pretend this is uncluttered? :shrug:

I disagree with you though about if Tracktion is revolutionary or not - it is imo, but for other reasons than this 'all in one window'-nonsense...

I think a lot of T's fanboyz are people who aren't able to set up a sequencer properly - you can't set up Tracktion - it just works as it is right out of the box - and while it admittedly does it outstandingly in certain areas it does it less than mediocrely in others... - just to make sure: I'm referring to T2!

we're not all that bad, jens.

I'm looking at Sonar4 for quite some time BTW. If there was a dl version (and a bit cheaper) I'd buy it in a minute.
