SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I haven't had any issues, it's great. I'm a novice and just getting started. I use a Zoom MRS-8 to record with and then do mixing offline on Tracktion. So I don't use it for audio capture, just mixing and mastering. But I HAVE used it with an audio interface (TASCAM US-122) and it works great. It's a VST host so there's ton's of synths and effects you can add to it if you're not happy with the prepackaged ones. Feature: Has mixer parameter automation, which I think I will use later as I get better at this. It's a VST host so there's ton's of synths and effects you can add to it if you're not happy with the prepackaged ones. Comes with a lot of plug-ins already, you shouldn't need anything else. Ease of Use: As easy as a DAW software can get! Great for a newbie like me, who HASN'T used a standard mixer console model with all the sends, returns, bussing etc. This treats every track as a signal chain that you can see from input to output. It's very "big picture" so novices like me don't get trapped in some submenu somewhere. Quality: Seems very polished. The GUI is clean and functional, you won't get a virtual knob graphic with knurls here :-) Value: Comes with a lot of good VST plugins, including mastering. Altho there are pretty good free/cheap sequencers around (Kristal, n-track), they have some limitations. Tracktion is worth the money for the interface alone (for me). Manufacturer Support: Great forums online.

Sound: I am a student at SUNY Fredonia in the sound recording major. I have used PT, Logic, Nuendo, Cubase. This software with my Mackie 1640 Consol sounds better than PT by far and I would compare Logic and Tracktion without hesitation. Feature: Tracktion has everything you would need in most cases. It lacks some of the "nitty gritty" details that can be accomplished in other DAW's but if you are a good engineer it won't matter. Ease of Use: Extremely easy...period. Quality: Fast Install....Great documentation..(wich is more important than people realize) it's software...i mean..it works! Value: Totally worth it Manufacturer Support: I have never needed it for the software. However I own the 1640 and i emailed them for schematics wich where sent to me the next day...They are awesome! The Wow Factor: It's like this...I can record 16 tracks in and monitor out through one firewire cable....into a MacBook Pro...uh....on location recording anyone? Then there are the times when I have a full cd worth of audio to edit...i walk to starbucks drink coffee and smoke outside while editing...fantastic...just great. Overall: I will upgrade this product and continue to use it...why? Bottom line in this buisness...IT SOUNDS GOOD. (and I can afford it)
