Free MIDI/Audio sequencer/ReWire host with mastering plugin.

VST and Rewire host. Slightly unusual but really obvious-to-use user interface.

Runs on Windows and MacOS X. Includes Final Mix, a pretty decent mastering plugin.

Price to you: Free.

Nice.

Well, its free for a very limited time, till the end of december.

So, hurry up!!!

On the other hand, its price (80$) is a fraction of other packages with the same features.

I'm going to write a detailed review when I've tested it enough to pronounce.

All I can say now is that the interface seems very responsive, even when cpu load is going all way up. And it is very clear and intuitive, unlike other new products like Arturia Storm (that seemed a joke to me when I've tried it).

And it gives me 5.6msec latency on my Waveterminal 2496 with 256 samples setting, against cubase SX which gives me 12msec input and 12msec output. I'm still figuring out if this latency is just for output or for both.

I wish they've ported it to linux also, because audio production is the only activity for which I still need to boot on windows or grab my old ibook.

Musically this is far from impressive, but this is Reason rewired to Tracktion using only the built-in plugins and my guitar (Parker P38 'Fly')/floor FX unit (Boss ME-33) (recorded at 44.1/16 DI into an M-Audio Firewire Audiophile...)

(I know there are two really obvious bum notes, but I was more testing that everything worked.)

Not got round to trying it out yet, but thanks for the heads up. I need something to get me back into composition again.

That reminds me; need to get some more guitar strings. Always end up busting 'em over Xmas, just when I can't replace 'em.
