Traction Software: Compose, Record, Mix, Share

TRACKTION 4 puts the fun back into the creative process, so they're including it free of charge with select BEHRINGER products.

And TRACKTION doesn't limit the number of tracks you can record, or the number of effects you can use. In fact, the only limitation is your Mac or PC computer's processing power. Recording and editing couldn't be easier; simply drag, drop, cut, copy or paste. Once your magnum opus is finished, share it with other 'Tracktioneers' so they can listen, collaborate and edit.

TRACKTION 4 Features:

- Native FX plug-ins ranging from dynamics to modulation, reverb and more
- Support for available third party AU, VST and VSTi plug-ins
- Mix Automation
- Safe Record
- Loop Recording

Do I Need an Expansion Card?

All recent X32 models come with the X-USB card, which offers USB only, as FireWire is fading in popularity. If you need FireWire features, you can swap in the X-UF expansion card, which offers USB and FireWire in one card. The X-MADI and X-Dante and X-ADAT expansion cards offer more connectivity options not offered on the included card.

This is a very complex and difficult mixer to learn. It's not like you can power it on and go, like a hardware based mixer with actual faders and knobs. It's all done via an iPad. Granted you can used the onboard knobs to make changes but you wouldn't want to because it's a lot of pushing, turning, and clicking, besides the knobs not being inline with the menus makes it very difficult to use at first. But that's the initial "Hump" if you will, that you need to get over. Once you get a grasp of this amazing audio mixer, it is really pretty incredible. You'll spend some time watching YouTube videos and doing research since the manual it comes with may as well be taken out of the box and used to start a fire. I've never understood these companies (DAW's included) that send you these complex devices with very little instruction. You have to buy books, watch videos etc to even begin to use them. I made the mistake of trying to figure this out a week before our first gig. That was the most stressful week of my life. I did get through it and I did figure out enough to get the mains and monitor mixes working but it was no easy task. This IS NOT user friendly by any stretch of the imagination. But take your time, give yourself ample time to learn this and you will be overly satisfied with its features and abilities. Clean and quiet, and very very powerful. This thing has built in effects racks, you can use it to crossover your frequencies, there are eq's built in etc. You'll really dig read more this thing. Once you learn it. Believe me I almost said forget it and bought a normal hardware mixer with faders and knobs. But I stayed the course and figured it out. I'm glad I did. Love it now.
