I think we're going to at least have automation via midi interface, maybe midi learn ?

i don tknow its going to be good... right?

RonC

I doubt midi learn – that would conflict too much with existing instruments - automation would be needed in the new update though – I recon a deal with cakewalk or someone for that - maybe the muzy guy - that would fit.

Best regards,

1. You will finally be able to use all 16 MIDI channels in the same project, instead of choosing just two.

2. Rack Filters- Tracktion's answer to the multiple in/out vst's, and a way to do sends and stuff. Trust me, this will be worth it!

3. A master volume slider. Now you will be able to go back and lower the ENTIRE mix AT THE SAME TIME! No, really!

4. Tracktion will drop support of DX plug-ins. They just were too faulty in version 1.

4. No more hardware interface- are you tired of looking at shining screws and "realistic" looking sliders? No more, my friend.

5. Audio file preview- you can now preview an audio file from a track without opening the track. Cool!

6. Free nose plug-(in)- Just in case your music stinks

7. Automation Write button- Ever wonder what the automation read button was for? Now you can make your own automation and have it read by Tracktion instead of paying $50 for a bundle of pre-built automation envelopes.

Other than that, I don't think anything is needed. I'm happy with what is there already.

Damnit, Koolkeys!

That was funny, but imagine all the people out there who don't get the irony of it... "WHAT? It doesn't even have a master volume slider??? Forget this!"

As for bundled plug-ins. I'm skint, so I own very few commercial plug-ins. Some of the Acuma plugs are sweee---eeee---t looking, though I don't imagine they'll give us the whole stack. I'll take some Saturated Fat and a Delay Factor, please.

Huge changes?
Well that's nice but I hope Tracktion will stay Tracktion with all it's simplicity.
I will make a few predictions with my crystal ball:

1 Arpegiator in piano roll
2 All kind of new 3rd party plugs
3 Mixer but not in a separate window, more like
a pull-down/resizable thing.
4 Retail price $299 or $399

Hey, don't give them any pricing ideas. We're thinking(and hoping

) that the price will be around $150. You raise it much further and you lose some of what made Tracktion what it is.

Agreed.

I rarely use Tracktion for my own music now (Live 4 has taken over here at present) but I use it for teaching beginners. The fact that they can afford their own copy is one of the selling points so far as I am concerned. My guess is there are lots of people who have it for this reason.

But it's more complex than that - Tracktion is actually underpriced for what it already offers given the current market (should probably be around $140 at present, in line with FL Studio for example). There will probably be more people taking it seriously as a professional product if the price relects that more.

While I think you're right this time I'm a little worried about your apparently manic and compulsive need to start at least two threads about T2 each week...

But if it wasn't for his threads this forum would be a ghost town at present!

Bring back the days when newbies would be continually starting "Wow! Tracktion is awesome!" threads, that's what I say!
