T3 NAMM pics and audio observations/review.
2007-01-22T00:04:09+00:00
Just back from NAMM - got a chance to try out T3 and pick Beno's brain - both impressive.
Have never used Loops, and probably won't - but will at least update online to T3 ($69 - I believe), and possibly one of the packages. The way T3 can handle traditional audio as a loop by an easy method of storing and looping a clip, as well as the option to assign it to the new 'global' function for easy tempo and pitch changes is pretty cool. and the new loop window (see pic),can allow an even easier method of copying clips by dragging and dropping.
Some add'l observations (sorry if already mentioned)
* Multicore support - assigns alternate tracks to different cores
* Auto Protools-style Multi-tool curser (pointed out to me by a Protools user)
* Subgrouping of tracks (see pic)
* 99 memory points with assignable 'folders' (see pic)
* Global track with easy tempo/pitch automation (see pic)
* Scroll at bottom of last visible track (much more intuitive for me)
* New Mackie plugin skins and a Channel Strip plugin.
* Easier methods of storing and accessing folders and clips
Not changed: - for the most part, no MIDI or clip editing changes.
Some clip editing wishes I had hoped for included the ability to lengthen existing clips, as well as paste blank clips in both audio tracks and 'summed' tracks for the ability to add 'timed' effects. Beno (and the rest of Mackie) were very receptive. No promises were made, but the impression I got is that they've been burning the midnight oil to get a solid T3 out in the next couple of weeks and address 'do-able' issues (such as my request) ASAP following. The ability to assign an AUX send to a clip seemed more unlikely.
Overall I like the interface and the changes, any T2 user will adapt very easily. The changes are major and IMHO make T3 more powerful even for strictly audio users as myself - I'll be upgrading. If some of the samples (in particular the Piano sample by GenArts(not liscenced at the time of show)) are decent, will probably go for one of the packages.
Thanks again Beno for the demo - very professional and informative - my apologies if I've misquoted anything. Hey, I'm a bit pop'd going into the game - GO COLTS !
Never posted pics here before - if they don't post, give me a simple method and I'll follow up.

Talk to IIRs. I just tweak and hope I stumble across something that works.
