We've had some discussions before, where we were on opposite ends of the spectrum as far as thought. However, I've always at least enjoyed hearing the other point of view put to me in an intelligent manner. That doesn't always happen here.jens wrote:is it?audiojunkie wrote:That's a first for us, isn't it?jens wrote:hey - I actually agreed with you!

), and as I said, IMNSHO Tracktion and EnergyXT compliment each other unbelievably well. It's really worth it to actually hunt down a cheaper copy of tracktion (online, second hand, whatever) so you have money to license eXT and support its developer, Jorgen Aase, who really deserves it. You just have to take a look at the energyXT forum here at kvr to have an idea of the amount and quality of the work he's doing (hats off here). keep it up! ? What was that outburst all about then? I'll avoid a public slanging match and tackle this with a pm. If you have an axe to grind, I'd like to know what it is.jens wrote:Manc Chris wrote:I use SX3, (legit version so calm down at the back there) and its featureset is a million miles from Energy XT. Totally different beasts.
yes, you're absolutely right about this - SX just can't keep up with eXT regarding many features
(I corrected your grammar b.t.w. - and no: you don't have to thank me for that)
I noticed that one earlier. It's by the guy that wrote Muzys, isn't it? It DOES seem to have a slightly different paradigm as far as MIDI goes. I'm still not sure what to think of it, but the price sure does seem right. It will be one to watch.MattmaN wrote:Well there's Reaper http://www.cockos.com/reaper/
However it's only in the early development stages,but getting about 5 updates a week right now!
So it would be worth downloading anyway just to get used to it so when it's midi specs are sufficient you will have a good grip on it's workflow wich is very good even with basic midi functions.
It will be $20 when it hits 1.0,but at 0.68 as of right now it's freeware.
By no means am I saying it's midi can be compared to cubase.Just pointing out it's one to watch.
It seems that the last freeware version of Delta SP that I mentioned earlier is about as close as it gets for free. (When Frieve gets more stable, it will also be worth a look.) But overall, you are right... As far as "FREE" goes, there's not much available in the Windows OS world. (Linux is a different story).SonicBreeze wrote:We are still starving of a free,nice,easy,not-so-buggy vst host/sequencer.
Though 'half developer-half human' has developed one, almost free, called 'EnergyXT'.
Yes,it is not that hopeless situation. And I vote for XT in that price range. Especially, when you get XT2 for free if you buy now.audiojunkie wrote: The good news is that there appears to be a lot of great options in the under $50 range.

Yeah, if I wanted to get into free trackers, there are a lot to choose from:G-Ro124 wrote:This is a very powerful, free, modular, sequencer + all the synths and effects and everything you will ever need.
It is VST and ReWire and ASIO compatible: just have to get used to the REALLY quirky interface--especially with MIDI--but I know many people who use it.
If your computer can run Cubase SX3, then you can use this.
