Does anybody still have the free version of Tracktion that they would share? I’d like to see how the ReWire 2.0 support is in it. Saw a post about it from January….

The demo is here:

I must have misunderstood the original post in January - there is no free version, just a demo version??

afaik there was a temporary offer of a free license that has expired. The license now costs money again. But even the free license still came with all the restrictions of the paid version, that is "a Tracktion license will only work on a specific PC" so unfortunately it’s not like a endless freeware distribution. It was a one-time thing. afaik.

FWIW, Tracktion is a good rewire choice. I got it when the license was free and I’m very glad I did. Just like Reason, Tracktion goes very easy on the cpu and I use a modest AMD/ECS mobo-chip combo that I got at Frys for about $80. Last time I checked Tracktion was going for about $80 on the Mackie site. Once you get use to their way of thinking (as far as the layout goes) Tracktion is very efficient and ergonomic and it comes with some pretty good mastering tools as well. Its a very good VST host, too.

I’m a big fan of Tracktion. I got it when they were doing the free promo. The interface is a bit different, but once i got used to it I realized it is a very smooth workflow. It is not an overloaded program, but does pretty much everything. I think the full version of tracktion is 1.5 mb with the demo song about 4.5 mb. Makes me wonder what else the other companies are adding to their software. Tracktion 2 is out now and going for about 150 dollars. I saw T2 with the sonic maximiser plugin for 150 at musicians friend (very good deal). I think tracktion one is still available for 80 dollars. It is well worth 80 dollars since it comes with final mix
