Hey, Ron,

Could you share any sort of productivity tips? I know that Tracktion has it's own specific terminolofy for things, like "edits", but other hosts have things like templates and such.

How would you do this in Tracktion? Let's say the following...

That I write my own stuff, but in several styles, so I want to have a template but blank with all of the vst's, effects, etc already loaded. One for rock, one for new age, one for orchestral stuff, one for electronica, etc.

How's the best way to do this in T2? I saw the template tutorial in the Raw Material's forum and I got to thinking how many "workflow" things could be done since the manuals cover pretty much only the features/functions.

Thank you for whatever you could offer...

- Paul

Dunno, i've used T for two years for all my tracks and loved it. Then i switched to logic and still loved it. Now i learned logic i realize T's good at some things and does them damn good, but it sucks at other things (just as logic btw). And sorry, i'm with the cliches on this one: tracktion sucks for advanced midi but is very good for efficient audio editing, while logic is the inverse. Which one's best for you depends on what you need i think (and i know that's not such a new point to be making)- personally i couldn't live without any of the two
Ah well, it's how you look at it i guess... Good luck though

Opening Tracktion Now, Click New Project , Name it after your band or project (whichever), Double click the new edit that appeared, Top right click racks, bottom left click new rack . Top r click filters select them . I.E. a good rack for guitar is C-tuner, TriDirt, Reverb RV1, and classic Compressor. Below The Rack Panel Click and drag "Drag Here To Insert An Instance Of This Rack" to a channel prefader . Voila . repeat for all other channels.
Bottom Left click save edit as name it like "my band - Techno template" or whatever . From then on you have a blank of whatever type of music or album that you are working on (to keep a consistent soundetc..) . Peace the fck out gnyus

Hey Ron,

Maybe you can suggest an improvement to my workflow here: I use tracktion to compose, and I frequently change the lengths of parts, insert more verses/horuses, etc. Right now when I want to, let's say, repeat a verse and chorus one more time, this is my workflow:

- Slice clips at beginning and end of verse/chorus section.
- Select all clips later in the edit than where I want to paste
- Move all of those clips to the right, leaving enough room to paste
- Copy verse/chorus clips and paste (or CTRL + ALT)

I wonder if there is some setting that will automagically move the later clips when I insert the copied section...

- position the markers

- select all tracks (select one, then cntrl + "A")

- press the "insert into tracks" button in the properties panel and choose "insert space in the marked region"

You rock! Thank you! I just tried it and it worked beautifully...I had never thought to sleect the tracks rather than the clips to see those features. That will save me lots of time.

Now, if only the time sigs followed when I do that, my tunes will finally have all of the subtle tempo changes that I would like to have, which I avoid at times because they make editing so tricky...

Tracktion has certainly come a long way. It is no joke; it is the real deal.

This thread is 11 years old. I would hope that it has come a long way in 11 years.
