Hi.
I just saw in sound on sound that Raw Material are intending to release a
Linux version of their Tracktion software for Linux. It's a multitrack
sequencer kind of thing, the look reminds me a bit of Ableton Live.
" By August 2003 versions for the Mac and Linux will also be available, and
by the end of 2003, there should really be nothing left to add!"

Great :)
I guess the step from the OS X version (at least the engine, not the
GUI) to a Linux version is small, so maybe we should thanks Apple
for going the UNIX way ?

Hi,
I've been playing with this for a little while under Win XP. It's an
interesting interface. It does work. Others have had some trouble with
clicks and pops. I haven't.
What I like is that it implements a lot of Acid Pro functionality, while
still providing enough recording capabilities. There are some issues, for me
anyway, with some of the more 'mixer-like' issues, like subs and what not,
but it's definitely one to watch.

I wonder what the odds are that it supports ALSA, or better yet, JACK.
I'm guessing they wouldn't want to alienate a good portion of thier users
(RedHat + ?) by requireing ALSA :(
Could be an argument in favour of an OSS JACK driver.

There's still time to get in touch with these people, who are based in the UK,
and help make it happen! I think their pricing is reasonable for a
proprietary app of this kind, and there's a free beer trial for the current
version.

Any serious music user would install ALSA, surely? If only for up to date card
drivers. It'll be interesting to find out what their target distros are.
I didn't send the info about this particular app to Sound on Sound, but I have
forwarded lots of other Linux-related audio/music announcements. If anyone
has specific Linux information they want to pass on to the magazine, please
let me know.
There should be a feature I wrote in the May issue (out in April) about
building a near-silent Linux box for studio use. It was supposed to be
completely silent, but it ended up having one speed-controlled 60mm fan due
to heat build-up with static air inside the case.
