Yes, Tracktion came close to running on Linux using WINE. Parts of the UI did 
not work and nothing played but ... temptingly close.

This was when they were giving away version 1. Now there is version 2 and both 
versions cost. Will Mackie go through the trouble of supplying a native Linux 
port? The Linux audio community likes its software opensource. Juce is but 
Tracktion is not. Only if enough of us are willing to fork out the cash and 
let Mackie know this ....

(It is not as simple as a recompile. Getting acceptable audio performance, 
likely using jack, will take some nice work!)
