Hard to reiterate this again: those improvements have already been made in the 3 subsequent versions of Waveform. Tracktion 7 is an old version and will not be updated. Because why would it? It has been updated 3 versions and those exist.

That's magware and not the official T7 replacement. The CM version is more like Waveform OEM with a couple of added features.

This is wrong. If you go via the CM instructions, you download the free version of W10 from the Tracktion website.

If you want to experience abandonware, go back in time and try Tracktion 3 from its release date.

Meanwhile, let me know when the next update of Microsoft Windows 1.0 is coming out.

It's not misinformation. A magware is technically not "free". It's free for the people who've supposedly purchased the magazine and not otherwise. I bought the magazine and then got Waveform Free from File Silo, so technically not free like T7 (I have Waveform 10 by the way).

It led me to download from the Tracktion site. Must be a north-south divide thing.

There is no moral obligation to buy. Those buy who need and want the full features of the software. If or when a score editor happens; That would make me think about purchase.

About waveform templates: Most often I compose my songs in musescore, then transfer midi files to DAW. That means SF2 GM soundfont instruments. A useful template here would be couple of vocal tracks + some miditracks that come armed either with a good SF2 player and font or with a synth with GM presets, 16 part multitimbral of cause.
