The product is supported marginally. If you are buying it simply to use Final Mix as an alternative to T-Racks, then it is a bargain.

Mackie does not claim it is abandonware - they still include it with all of their audio interface products - not the Ultimate Bundle, but rather the core program without all of the add-on software.

There are some included plugins that should be usable in any VST host which really put the deal over the top. There's a cut-down version of Garritan Personal Orchestra (I believe 800 MB of samples) that is worth $20. Drumcore - worth $20. etc.

There are known issues with the program on some installations of 64 bit OS - ck. the KVR thread listed above.

There is an official Tracktion forum at the Mackie site as well: http://forums.mackie.com/scripts/forum/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=17

I've used Tracktion 1 and 2 since 2004 time frame with joy. I've used Tracktion 3 marginally on a friend's Toshiba laptop to get him started doing radio sermons for some radio stations in Flint, MI. His came with a USB mixer from Mackie. Had zero issues with it. I made him a template in Tracktion 2 that had bumper music on both ends of the show and an announcer on another track, then he would fill in his sermon in the middle. He was a guy with absolutely zero experience using DAW software.

I bought the T3 Ultimate bundle - haven't installed it yet as I'm working on reviving my desktop machine.
