Roll our own in JUCE?
Sure we could do, but half the fun is in the corporate raiding. Revenge of the Groundhogs! And it's a near zero cost option. That's the other fun part of corporate raiding. And which Tracktioneer wouldn't want to grill the soon-to-be former Mackie CEO?
Plus, we'd have a foundation with the existing codebase. With JUCE alone, just the nails, a sack of cement and possible IP infringement.
Another Namm passes with no Tracktion news :(

I'll recap since we didn't print a program guide to this thread.careyletendre wrote:WFT ???
We discussed that Mackie may simply not have the resources to put any immediate further development into Tracktion due to the state of the USA economy.
The thread was briefly hijacked while we discussed whether or not the USA is still in a recession. But, in the end it was agreed upon that, regardless, at best, Tracktion has an uncertain future.
And, because of that is selling at a pretty damned good price, right now.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

Juce is a nice GUI and multimedia API for crossplatform development. It is not unique in this regard, though it does have a clean look and feel that I like and presumably has a nice coding interface/abstraction as well.UncleAge wrote:The whole thing was developed around JUCE right? So just roll your own.
Most modern applications are built on top of an API of this sort, so you could just as well say "roll your own Excel" or whatever. I think Jules and later Mackie put a lot of man hours into developing Tracktion and it would take a pretty good team to duplicate it from scratch -- even if "scratch" means Juce.
