I never read the whole T2 rendering problem thread, but did most or everyone agree that rendering in 32 bit didn't have the distortion/gating problems that were mentioned?

Thanks!

unfortunately yes, its got em. They were on;y observed only at very low levels though - so it doesn't seem they would survive subsequent truncation and dithering to 24 bits (you will want to do this in an external editor).

That's crap.

Anyone get through to Mackie on this?

This is poopy poopville.

Beno descibed it as "obviously a priority". Watch for a point update soon...

For the updates. Do you have to get another box now that Mackie says there will be no donwloadable versions?
This might sound like a bitching or a joke question, but it is not. I am being dead serious. If you bought the box. How are you going to get the updates/bug fixes? That is one of the things that has kept me from buying T2 from an American distributor.
I guess we have to wait and see how they manage that.

ponit updates will more than likely be downloadable, either modifying or replacing the current exe. - that's how most companies do it.
To provide cd's for that kind of thing would be economically unfeasible really.
One would expect new versions e.g. T3 to be a new cd maybe e.g. Reason 3, SX3, Ableton Live 4.0 etc.

Tracktion 2 *is* downloadable AFAIK. You just can't buy a new license on-line.

Well. Just the same. Isn´t it?
Actually I should say my first post was serious, but with a hint of sarcasm

We already got the distributor in Spain telling us it will be available "soon" at 220$ a bit too expensive for me right now as I bought 2 other apps and I´m planning on buying another baby boa constrictor

Maybe by mid august I will drop by the store and find a shiny blue box smiling at me and beggin to be taken home

I have found Podium to be what I was needing for the band´s project so I will be busy with that for a while.

Just like Phz noted. They are different. Tracktion is geared more towards getting a quick result in the least amount of time. Podium is quite easy to work on as soon as you have spent some time learning its particular structure ( I love it BTW ) but as soon as you are over that notion it is quite easy to work on too.
Actually I think I am starting to like Podium better than Tracktion , but that is a personal thing and you have to try it and see if it is good for you.
Podium is really stable and is moving at a really fast pace. I have not found any bugs yet, but there must be some. I know there are a couple features I want in there, but I will mail them to the developer and see if they are feasible. Ohter than that. It has all things I wanted in Tracktion.

interesting..well i love tracktion because of it's fusion of VSTiS and live recording.. I dont like the sends and rendering issues.
I want solid software that I can make live rock songs in and make beats or electronic music. I use BFD, jamstix, kontakt and battery a lot..plus softsynths. I record live vocals, guitars and bass.

I do make music like the ones you are mentioning and I have found Podium cool for the live recording and audio mixing part.
For the electronic stuff I still think FL studio is peerless. Again it is just a matter of personal taste, but at 90$ Podium was a deal I could not resist.

Not to be picky, but Ableton Live 4.0 (and all bugfixes) was available as an upgrade via download. There was an option to pay a little bit more to order it as a box - directly from Ableton - including a samples CD and paper manual. The retail version of Live 4 - and its pricing - was for brand new customers only.

Hooray for Ableton!
