How do you create a new midi clip from scratch - is there an empty piano roll like in FL?
Is there a why to show pad names on the keys that pop up

You can create a new MIDI clip either by selecting a track and clicking the "insert new clip" button, or selecting a track and using the 'g' shortcut.
If I understand your second question correctly, zooming in will show you notes names or (if using channel 10), GM drum names. No way to change names yourself.

did you inherently know this or is there a more detailed manual available than the one with the demo?Spacefox wrote:Double click a track with a MIDI clip in it. This will expand it and will reveal the piano roll.

there's also a button in the bottom panel that says show/hide midi editor
I'm fairly certain I figured out the double clicking inherently, I haven't looked at the manual for more than 2 minutes ever, afaik there is no other manual.
I was once all gung-ho and started writing a manual, but the general consensus was mackie was going to write one, I don't think that we're getting a better manual til v2, so maybe it's time to start again...

You could this behaviour deduce from a parameter in the "settings" tab. Under "miscellaneous" you can find the option "track resizing", where the behaviour is presented in plain text.
Well, I must admit - this is not the first place to look for...

While you're getting used to things you should have F11 (help bubbles) on. That way you just point at something and a bubble comes up to tell you about it. The forum can probably fill you in on the rest7thsense wrote:did you inherently know this or is there a more detailed manual available than the one with the demo?Spacefox wrote:Double click a track with a MIDI clip in it.

. Thats really how I got started. I never read the manual. Also visit www.adbe.org for some really great tutorials by Valley.

That's One of life greatest mysteries.7thsense wrote:thanks, so when is version 2 due out??
Like AD80 said: use pop-up help (F11) and you probbably won't need a manual.did you inherently know this or is there a more detailed manual available than the one with the demo?
Just one tip: zooming, both horiz. and vert., plays a big part in working with Tracktion. Learn the shortcuts keys for zooming first.
Since the snap resolution is connectted to the snap resolution, you can zoom in hard tio make surgical changes, and zoom out for arranging etc.
Working with the in&out markers also helps a great deal, IMO.
Hope this helps.

I am starting to wish I made more use of this program earlier, for one thing the bounce to track – I have been doing everything real time in FL then render and finish off in Audition, now I can work quicker making layers of bounced tracks and add lots more in the way of FX than I could before finally finishing off in Audition.
The straight forward midi keyboard recording is bloody awesome for speed in comparison imo.
No wonder so may people rave over this application – if it were not for RM4 and needing to do some percussion tracks, and FL faffing, I would not have been looking this deep into the application like I have over the last couple of days – I have to say I am a bit hooked to the way it works now – much more intuitive over a pattern layout.
And it still has not crashed (it catches stuff if there is going to be a problem instead = takes the mystery out of what could be wrong in something – FL has many less catch points)
Impressive experience.
