FREE Tracktion!
Great news for those of you, who like me, enjoy playing with music software... Tracktion by Mackie is now free!
All you have to do it go over to a registration page, fill out the info, and it's yours!
Personally, I found the registration quite awkward - you have to fill out info, like you'd expect - but they also want your machine ID --- which you can't get until you download the software and run it. So you fill out a '0' for the time being... well, they then email you an 'unlock code' for that 0 code - which , of course doesn't work.
So you have to go back, and fill out the machine ID after you run tracktion on your machine at least one time.
Then they'll email you another unlock file. It should work.
But boy I was confused, cause the first unlock code didn't show up in my mailbox until after I had filled out the machine ID. I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't unlock!
I mean, I get why people have to make software non-piratable... but when it gets in the way of using the software - I just think that's too far.
I don't mean tracktion is doing this - their's is just confusing.
I don't feel like complaining about it though right now - I'll do it another time :)
For now, your job is to get your butt on over to Mackie and grab your own version of tracktion!
Re-wire, midi, audio - it's all there for FREE!
