ha ha - I must say, I have indeed found my (next) scratch pad - I am a protools user by all means...I compose for film and I require PT to talk to my universe...however, I have been using Ableton to schetch out ideas...love that rig...I will not abandon live or PT ...but I must admit after just one day with tracktion 3 ...I can see another scratch pad coming into play...and T3 (not da pills) has 24, 25, and 30 frames per second timecode...ha ha...without PT's $1,200 (DV toolkit) price...infact..I (and the rest of the world) have so many plugins that I can get buy with the basic T3...ha ha $99bucks...I'm like a kid in a candy store - what freaking great deal - I'm reading tons of trouble on this forum with T3...I'm simply testing out the demo...and I've got to say...I know what I'm spending my next $99 on - T3
..and smiling - what a deal - does anyone else feel the same way..I have never seen such a steal..what am I missing
I'm running a quad on 4 gigs of ram on a dell 390 - just freaking snappy - records nice - edit features are nice - as are the bundled effects - just a great deal..from my humble perspective
Tracktion - what a blast - thank you universe

Again, T3 flies on Windows. With the recent fixes (like stopping debuglogging by T) provided by one of the forum-members you can get even more performance.
On the Mac, it seems like another story.

protools price isn't in direct correlation to it's quality?
i thought it was the end-all be-all, and you can have no needs outside it
ableton live as a mere scratch pad?
i thought it was the end-all be-all, and you can have no needs outside it
someone can actually have a blast on T3
while it's simultaneously very flawed, buggy to others?

indeed, thanks for sharing,
your opinion is very interesting and revealing,
especially since all the hype is usually presented as being
'what the pros say',
the lesson i take from it is that you are refining your setup,
(which can safely be assumed, has to be
a very functional setup, to score films),
to your actual needs
a point that seems obvious but we can still
often miss

Before you drop the $99 on the software, look to see if there is some cheap Mackie mixing hardware you can make use of. Mackie are giving away T3 with just about any of their USB enabled mixers.
Here's one that a friend picked up recently and we do his podcasts with it:
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ProFX8/
$229, decent little desktop mixer with proper faders, serviceable mic pre-amps, USB AND T3 included.
This will be a DL version which won't have the big bundle of add-on plugins, but does have all the Mackie plugins - like Final Mix, which is worth $99 all by itself.

That's the kind of statement that needs to be prefaced by, "I think", "It's my opinion" or "I really have no idea, but I'm guessing."warp x wrote:grymmjack wrote:+1paveloso wrote:I quit Tracktion to go to Ableton Live.

For my guitar and bass playing, Ableton is my scratch pad of choice, as I can put tons of different ideas (at different tempos even) on the same page in session view without having to open a new project every time. This is GREAT for song ideas as well as just jamming over a chord progression. All flow, no stop-n-go.
That said, for serious multi-tracking, T3 is my main stop. It's just easier for me to lay things out and edit. The key commands are in my neurology already, and everything I personally need (which I grant you isn't that much) works as advertised.
I've always wondered how Tracktion works as a video sound editing workstation, especially compared to something like Digital Performer or ProTools which seem to be the main choices for that particular task.
Glad to hear you're enjoying your T3 experience! I'm looking forward to checking out ProTools sometime soon, but right now Live and T3 gives me all I need.
