I'm looking at both of these applications for tracking and mixing (mostly) and would appreciate any thoughts/opinions/experience comparing them.
Thanks.
Tracktion vs. DSP Quattro?

Tracktion and DSP Quattro are very different animals.
DSPQ will only record audio (multi track) in its current guise and is first and foremost a 'destructive' waveform editor and mastering/CD authoring app. It can also host VSTi and AU instruments, but there's (currently) no way to actually record MIDI and there's no level or plug-in automation.
In Tracktion you can, of course, record and edit MIDI as well as audio, but there's no full-fledged waveform editor, if you need that, and no dedicated CD authoring features (yet).
The solution is easy: buy them both! They complement each other very well.
