Tracktion Software

I know that T2 will arrive when its ready, but the annoyances I have in T1 are starting to get on top of me. For the sake of productivity I've gone back to Cuabse SX for mixing, despite the bugs, because it has the things that Tracktion lacks (Full PDC, decent midi editor, proper mixer with clear level meters).

Its about time Mackie let us know whats going to be in T2, or at least a vague release date, ie. Q2 2005 or whatever.

It's funny how things have changed since T first came out. The 'big 3' or rather 2 have nicked ideas from T for the latest updates. It was bound to happen, I guess, but now Tracktion is not so unique as it once was.

1)Whats wrong with PDC in Tracktion?
2)The midi editor is fine. It could be imroved but its hardly indecent.
3) http://www.kvr-vst.com/forum/viewtopic. ... ight=mixer

I agree. But probably not gonna happen.

Very true. I think its gonna be more of a work flow thing instead of a feature thing eventually. Which is good for the users in the end. I know I aint goin nowhere for a while tho. T's workflow is just too good for me.

Making cool indie films. Currently on the set of "Untitled Jim Jarmusch Project," which makes me pretty damn happy.

Now if he could only be reunited with Chris Elliott on one of his indie films...

Wow you guys....quite an offhanded Groundhog Day reference....prolly lost on most ppl.... still just as apt tho

Nah, the Groundhog day reference has been floating around for a few weeks now.

I can understand why people might use another host to make up for features that T might lack for their personal style... but the three mentioned at the beginning of this thread are things that T is easily capable of...

I couldn't disagree more... I don't think T2 is taking nearly long enough.

I guess this will cause another round of T2 Groundhogism

I meant full PDC for racks. Kinda spoils the whole idea for me...

Sorry, I didn't mean to be boring. This isn't groundhog day, I was just venting my frustration.
I guess what I'm looking for in T2 is for it to polish off some of T1's sharp corners

I have a theory that T2 will only come out once we've gone a number of days without mentioning it at all. Kind of like the idea that once you let go of the idea of getting something you really want... then you can have it.

it just sucks that now,everey other sequencer has got an update(sonare,logic,live,cubase,etc),yet were still not even knowing what this update(t2) will bring, let alone when it will come.

Can you explain why it sucks?

I've been thinking about this quite a bit (haven't we all

) and I've decided to let the dust settle on the other updates going around (Live, Sonar, SX3, Logic, Samplitude) and see what emerges.

Quite apart from waiting for Tracktion 2 I'm interested to see what happens with Reason 3 and maybe FL5 as well... but I'm just going to have to wait, so there's no point in moaning on a daily basis in the meantime. Because I love T1.6 and Reason 2.5, and I've got some ideas for some tunes that I want to go and get on with...

T2 taking too long!
