Man, that sucks. mad

I really liked the Tracktion workflow when it came out, so when Traction 4 was announced, I downloaded the demo and played around with it.

The flow wasn't as "intuitive" as I remembered, as I'd since between my initial experience and Traction 4 I learned a new DAW. But the final nail was - as John noted - the lack of plugins.

My understanding is that Mackie basically abandoned Tracktion, and the original developer ended up buying the program back from them. So for Mackie to point the finger at the new Tracktion folk isn't entirely fair, since Mackie dropped support in the first place - despite any "lifetime support" agreement you may have with them.

Think of it as having a $30 crossgrade offer from another company. It might be time to start looking at another DAW, or perhaps another set of plugins. I know my mixes without the plugins wouldn't be the same at all.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
