Looking forward to their public apology for what they did with Tracktion.

I seriously doubt that will happen

Hey guys - will any of you be at NAMM?

I have heard a hint elsewhere that this is just Loud moving assets around, they have moved the Tracktion name away from the Mackie name because of the bad reputation that was built, but it is all still the same company dealing with it, So good luck and i am no longer interested if that is the case, Mackie by any name is no go for me

No, more of a public, ritual suicide by the CEO, which takes 3 to 5 years to complete. And in the end results only in a small scratch on his pinky finger since Mackie doesn't actually have the resources available to complete the task.

Nope. Not this year.

I've thought the same myself, but I'm keeping an open mind until something concrete is known. I guess we'll probably find out most/all by this weekend.

All I've ever wanted is for T to get some support and attention. I don't care if it's owned by Beatrice Foods, Inc., so long as it gets some love. The fact that the attention is coming directly from Jules the MaingMang himself seals the deal.

I am WAY more interested in enjoying Tracktion than I am in somehow punishing Mackie for dropping T a while back.

Principles be damned. Just give us some Tracktion!

In your world a public apology is a punishment?

If Jules is in, i am in. I just want T back with some love.

In my world, Tracktion is Love!

More seriously, what I was referring to when I said 'punishment' was the idea of refusing to buy into the new product if it turns out to be owned by Mackie. It was a reference to the quote from Bungle a few posts back. I respect his opinion completely, I just don't share it.

Apologies are nice too, but unless they arrive with bugfixes, a new feature or two and at least a small pile of swoopy arrows, I probably won't pay them that much attention should they occur.

Oh no no no, if you check my posts about Mackie when they bought T, I warned everybody not to touch them then, they are not a good company

Didn't mean it to come across as punishment, I just wont ever buy Mackie again (Wouldn't back then and wont now)

Maybe this belongs in the "Tracktion 4 - a new fear" thread, but IIRC, Jules's post on the JUCE forums said he would have some more time after the project he was involved in debuts at NAMM. To me, this strongly hints that he was brought in by MackieLoudTech/TracktionSoftwareCo as a consultant, bring the code up to scratch, add some Tracktion Mojo,etc. I'm not sure it means Jules is back for good (apologies for the horrible Take That reference).
