I looked at n-track and was somewhat impressed, then read all the weird reviews. Glad to know someone has given it a serious go. I'd love to think it was a less-expensive alternative to Wavelab, Samplitude, etc.duncanparsons wrote:For some reason I appear to be the only bloke who doesn't have a problem with NTrack. On v3.3 I haven't had a crash in over 18 months, and with v4 I've had very rare flops. Most of my music has been made with it for over 2 years, with Podium taking up about 1/3 of the tunes over the last year (I've done about 50 tunes in the last two years, along with countless sketches).jens wrote:NTrack if you want to extra-prooftest a plugin I suppose...duncanparsons wrote:I use Podium, NTrack and Console, depending on what I'm doing.
I know it has attracted a bad reputation, but to me it just isn't justified. Cubase and it's derivatives OTOH have been an absolute nightmare. Whenever I install a demo it just freezes at random moments; the ASIO driver is appalling; it will only look through half my VSTs, then just give up.. NTrack has been a breath of fresh air comapred to that! Even PRO24 was more stable than any of the latest offerings I've tried from Steiny.. o well!

BTW: I use Fruityloops and proudly so. Quick setup to dash off an idea or a complete song. Love it (even though I love almost as much to give Jean-Marie and Gol a hard time now and then
). Click my sig to hear my latest song using it.

Cubase SX 3 for main host, Reason 3.0 rewired to it. I find that energyXT does to Cubase what the Combinator does to Reason ... so to me this is a killer combo, extremely flexible. Tracktion 2 is certainly a nice peace of gear, but it somehow just doesn't agree with me. Matter of personal taste, I suppose.
When I was younger I used to be in doubt. These days I'm not so sure.

As of Friday, 5/3/2005:
FL Studio 5 --- THIS is my primany host since FruityLoops 3. Everything that I need to do (MIDI programming, drum machine programming, etc.), starts here. And sometimes, my new tracks are finish here too!
Live 3 --- I use THIS host for remixing purposes. I like to bounce all of my homemade loops (as wav files) in it and have a lot of fun making a new track via improvisation.
Audition 1.5 --- My favorite audio editor for mastering. And it's very good for multitracking too.
My possible hosts for the future (TBA):
Orion Plat 6
Live 5

Samplitude 8.2 here
Switched from Logic after 10 years at end of January and had some doubts for the first couple of months but since 8.2 arrived I feel I have finally exorcised the Ghost of Emagic.

I use Orion to build my loops from scratch(VSTi programmed by piano roll)then export the loops into Tracktion if I need to add vocals or live instruments...from there I move to the infamous Acid Pro 5.0 to arrange...maybe back to Tracktion to master with "Final Mix"....back to Acid to render WMA and MP3 for publishing at AcidPlanet.

FL Studio for everything
Ableton Live + FL5: for gigs
Tracktion: when doing multitrack audio recording / editing for some group, when no MIDI is involved. Also I use Tracktion for mastering several songs to be on the same CD.
without a poll, what a useless thread jeez (but I'm bored)

just a little surprised by the lack of Logic 6 or 7 users. I guess that Live has really proven to be good competition for programs like Cubase, Logic and Sonar. Maybe I should give it another chance. It just seemed a little too loop-oriented to me when I checked it out a few years ago. The new MIDI programming features do look kinda promising though.

KVR is very Windows-centric, I suppose.
