Anyone excited about this?...

I must admit that if these are the headline features it kinda looks as if they are specifically going to target the newbie market rather than taking on the bigger hosts.

I wonder whether it will even be possible to internally convert audio loops into one of the three supported formats, or whether this new feature is specifically geared towards just the supplied loop content and third party purchases...?

doesnt look that impressive, but of course, he said there's more to come so... :)

how those loops can be USED is really what i would be concerned about... realtime stretching? Easy painting
and/or dragging of loops? midi loops?

not to be argumentive, but why? I mean, the features they were speaking of were quite rudimentary.

1. project browser (wow)
2. loop support (with being vague of its implementation)
3. loop library (golly gee yay)
4. support for more mackie controllers (how convenient)

?

Im sure they have more up their sleeves than this, but judging by this alone, it doesnt really say much for tracktion 3 at all.

@ Koolkeys: I hope so. I know how much you and others are holding out for features like folder tracks, etc. Let's wait and see what else is on offer :wink: (or do you already know?)

From my point of view, the thing I am most hopeful for would be a new audio engine that can handle VSTs and Rewire applications without the dreaded first-note-drop bug. It's been discussed so much, and I'm sure they will have solved it!

the video is going down hill, started good but now .. god.. terrible.

Jason, this is going to be the largest Tracktion update yet. I think you can figure out that you've seen nothing yet. Remember, this is the FIRST news you have actually heard about features. I would put money on much more to come.

By the way, if you watch the video close enough, you can surely see more then what you mentioned. Although it is a small screen.

headquest, patience is key. :wink:

The video is playing fine here using the WMV version...

By the way, Laz does describe the stuff in the video as "some of the most significant advancements and features" that they have added to T3. Hence my previous comments.

I hope that Laz is actually wrong and koolkeys is right. :wink:

the video is actually really funny, passed half way he starts really cracking up, he stalls, he messes up, the video editor doesn't help with cutting things out as the spokesmen tries to think about other things to mention.

I feel sorry for that guy actually.. you know he just wants to say so much more, but then it would be illegal because the product doesn't have those features :O(

Absolutely, but do you think it will be possible to timestretch ordinary audio clips Rob? Or convert them to a supported format from within T3? Otherwise it just works for the supplied loops and purchased third-party stuff, right?
