Tracktion 2 - Music Production by Mackie

[gro...@guitargearheads.com]

I first started recording my guitar playing almost as soon as I learned
to play the G, C, and D major chords that everyone discovers as a
beginner. At that time, my biggest problem wasn't changing chords, it
was playing in time. I usually practiced with a metronome, but that
quickly got boring. So I went on a mission to add some recording
capability to my rig in order to practice my timing with a drum track.
I really wanted to hear how I sounded so I could determine what to
practice next.

My quest first started with a small compact flash based 4-track unit
and eventually progressed into full-blown computer based recording.
During this journey I have tried a variety of music production software
solutions, but each of the products had critical limitations related to
audio fidelity, export options, sound effects and filters,
MIDI-capability, loop generation and editing, or user interface. In
fact, I didn't find what I was looking for until it found me! Mackie
sent me a version of Tracktion 2.0 a couple months ago and I never
opened it expecting more of the same. Boy was I proven wrong...I can
truly say that Mackie Traction 2.0 is serious recording software
designed with musicians in mind!
