TRACKTION 2 ------ DEMO IS OUT NOW!

[satsuma30]

I know but it gets a bit tiresome sometimes or maybe its me and too much beer

[P.T.]

You can e.g. set-up Sonar's (I guess by now the Tracktion fan-boyz have switched of their receiver)

we're not all that bad, jens.

I'm looking at Sonar4 for quite some time BTW. If there was a dl version (and a bit cheaper) I'd buy it in a minute.

There is a downloadable demo. Click on downloads near the top of the screen.

Studio edition is $199 for registered cakewalk users, and I have seen it for sale on line for as little as $239.

I'm just getting sick of the word "fanboy" being thrown around. I am a FAN of Tracktion, and it's a real annoyance when I'm in the middle of defending my sequencer of choice by demonstrating why *I* think it's more intuitive or better laid out in some particular way, when someone just blithely throws out, "you just can't see because you're too much of a fanboy."

It's condescending and uncalled for. Why should anyone have to justify being a -FAN- of something? I found Tracktion, liked (no, loved) the way it worked, and DO think that it's uncluttered.

On that point: You can't compare two unalike things. Clueless' example may have been over-the-top and tongue-in-cheek, but it does take one important thing into account: sure, you CAN make other programs LOOK uncluttered, but then you have to dig through menus (in some cases) or contend with anti-workflow things (ie. your MIDI editor may look nice and clean there, but can you line it up with your audio track in a meaningful way?) in order to give it the appearance of cleanliness.

So, yes, you can grab some uncluttered screenshots, but are they still including all the same functionality, or have you simply reduced the view to its most basic level at the expense of other functions?

The only thing I don't like about Tracktion 2's workspace is the MIDI toolbar, which I find instantly makes your screen look a bit of a mess.

Fanboy? What the hell is that supposed to mean? At least be creative about it: For example, "Just because Jens' heart skips a beat at the mere thought of eXT doesn't mean that eXT doesn't have a long way to go in implementing some key features."

See? I got to condescend without even using that annoying word, "fanboy".
