No, not Cmuzys. Cmuzys let me try playthrough of VSTi, when I was at the time limited to soundfonts in my SB Live card.

I received a NFR copy of Tracktion, and I've been hooked on it ever since. It's currently abandonware - sold, but not updated, by Mackie. Supposedly NAMM 2013 might involve an announcement of a change to that situation.

Tracktion bridges the land between more traditional DAW software and what they call a 'modular host'. You can wire up just about any signal flow that you can imagine with it, which can be incredibly fun as a hobbyist recordist. It drives some folks crazy because it doesn't have a 'mixer' view - they can't get their head around the idea that there isn't a fake mixer in the software.

I miss the notation aspects of PG products. I never bought any of the generative products, so I didn't get hooked on those.
