Mackie Tracktion 3
Anonymous

NB: I assess here Tracktion 3 PROJECT BUNDLE, let this be.

- The installation is done it without problems?
Yes. But what is being installed, exactly? A sequencer, or a catch-jerk?

- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
Heck yeah! Software ON HIMSELF: Internally, some of its own applications do for the plant!

In my case, for example, Mackie has made available to me in this software (well, at my disposal ... Anglo-Saxon forums are full of such stories, so Mackie has put at our disposal) functionality unpublished, the others should be based sequencers: suddenly there is fire in your house, and looking how to close a single click the entire application? MACKIE answers "my loops are your friends: put the mouse on the first coming, and one click is all off, without even asking if you want to save your work. Immediate benefit: save time con-si-de -able! ". It&#39;s true! The other solution as expeditiously as I knew until then, even more violent, it was pulling the plug ... MACKIE is much softer, as MACKIE think the integrity of the hardware! Still, with this history of loop, well you end up like an idiot in front of your Windows desktop: the slap, that, that&#39;s called being entauler.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
On paper, the software is very complete, and Technical. So we should go far in the explanations too ... Well Mackie, which exports to France, did not bother the French version of the manual.

1 / 10 because the installation is super easy and immediate extinction (well, once we have mastered the use of ad hoc loops)

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

- What is the configuration of your computer?

INTEL CORE 2 EXTREME
Motherboard ABIT - I-N73H
2 Seagate SATA (320 GB HHD Software and 500 GB HDD data)
3 GB RAM
Family XP 2002 SP3
Juli @ PCI card with good drivers ... short, not really a config Smoby "

- This software + hardware is stable?
NO! Proc sucked to the bone by software from a maddening greed.

- The software works he correctly on this configuration?
NO! From 4-track audio and / or MIDI, they should freeze for a fifth attack, otherwise it&#39;s filling up the red bar use of Proc.

EDIT 28/03/10: To pull the rug out from under the little funny, or people who are involved / concerned / affected since orbiting in the sphere of Mackie, who would be foolishly tempted me so condescending "yeah, filling up red because of the method of Tracktion, I think it&#39;s necessarily paaaaaas !.... your hardware", I said that since, on this same configuration, T3 has been replaced Cubase, and my method thanks me every day to have installed Cubase so it rolls like a convertible cruise in the middle of wide open spaces: quiet, efficiency and especially re-se-ni-ty.

- What performance? (If quantifiable)
... What I did in my 22 long rifle ?....

0 / 10 because it&#39;s a shame (not that I will tolerate for a freeware, then a trick to 130 € !!!...)

OVERALL OPINION

- For how long have you been using it?
18 months, just long enough to lose an album! Before the bugs are so pervasive, I decided to backup everything before crashing. And it is precisely in this phase of BACKUP 7 Songs from my album that made me a T3 Delete instead of a backup. In fact, what I have been saved by the software, they are data files and empty, without a single byte! Fortunately before I still exported in WAV. Admittedly, this is no longer workable in the state (go out notes or shifting the timing of a MIDI track where you have 3 notes shit when it converted to wav, but you !...), j &#39; did a semblance of raw material ... you talk to any consolation, you!

- Did you try many other models before getting this one?
Audacity (I&#39;ve never burnt a single project, HIM!)

- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
Even under torture, NEVER IN MY LIFE!

- What thing do you like most/least about it?
Most? On paper and a static screen (without using anything or touch anything, so), great ergonomics and the apparent ease.
The least? Ben when it comes to use it.

- What is your opinion about the value for the price?
A MERE scam! T3 has well over 2 years, and the ski experience and catastrophic converging on the forums Anglo-Saxon. The latest update is there more than two years, and fixing the bugs is not, has never been, nor will likely ever.

For 130 €, I got robbed, and we would have instead proposed a version Cracked, she would be in the trash for a while so I do not forgive we do not care about me at this point.

Mackie may have the fame she wants, and sell as they wish on any particular product, for me it remains the brand that was stolen in the woods, and once mistaken for his outrageous maneuvers , has not yet considered how to fix his mistakes.

0 / 10, because I can not rate in negative!


EDIT 28/03/10: You expected you buy it? The minute I write, there is somewhere on the net job MACKIE less than 50 € for this software. Well, I who have this software which I no longer do anything, I do not even see you sell it used. In addition, knowing the crap it is and it works so badly, I should be guilty of "fraud" (see the definition of the word on Google). No, the cd of this shit will end up hanging in my cherry tree to scare sparrows greedy. This is its best use.
