It's possible that an email hit my spam filter, however there is nothing in the bin from any email address with 'tracktion' in the address line anywhere - do you know what email address your authorisation came from?If I go to the Tracktion site and view 'my orders' T6 is listed there, but there doesn't seem to be any way to view licence keys or authorisation codes. Although I have now uninstalled it I did click on the authorise now button, but was presented with a field to insert an key, which I do not have. If you search their site for 'license' it returns no results.
I've submitted a support ticket and all I've had back is an automated acknowledgement. Deeply unimpressed.So while I am clearly pleased yours works, as far as I am concerned this is not worth even bothering with.

Deeply unimpressed.So while I am clearly pleased yours works, as far as I am concerned this is not worth even bothering with. The VST scanning is glitchy - I had to cancel the scan and start again. It doesn't like my Xpand2 synth, which is a shame because that's the one I really like to use. Had a reply from the support team, very polite and noting that I had managed to get the software authorised and working. Might play with it a bit more later, but I am going to have to RTFM as there are some control parameters I haven't been able to find using the standard man method of just clicking all over the place and hoping for the best.It does look very different to other DAWs.
Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing. Reaper is still my favourite bargain DAW, even if the interface is right out of the 90s, because it is so flexible and to be honest sounds good too.
I agree it does look a lot different from other DAWs, it's a bit of a run around like a headless chicken moment when you first fire it up. Erm, what do I click next. Doesn't seem too bad once you get going.Reaper was one of the first DAWs I installed, it's great actually. From the moment the program opens on your screen it looks clean and tidy, everything fairly logical fro the get go. I still get confused by all the audio ins/outs settings though, but that happens with just about any software I try. I tend to over think things tbh.
Afternoon Mick. Well, I've spent some more time playing with it and have now uninstalled it again.
The 'help' button just takes you to some no doubt very helpful video tutorials and not to a manual (later just found a tips and tricks book on there, but you have to buy it and most importantly it's not a user manual). I tried every single MIDI configuration on offer and still couldn't get it to respond to my Novation controller. Furthermore I couldn't find any way of allocating midi channels. Realistically with no manual life is too short, so I'm sticking mainly with Cubase with occasional dabbles in Reaper.Shame, it does look like it has a lot of potential but the implementation is a pig's ear. Mind you the manual for Cubase must be one of the worst ones ever written, but at least it exists! Afternoon Mick. Well, I've spent some more time playing with it and have now uninstalled it again.

Mind you the manual for Cubase must be one of the worst ones ever written, but at least it exists! You're not wrong Mick about sticking to something and learning it inside out - a failure I am guilty of, although I do mostly use Cubase I find remembering what to do to achieve fairly simple outcomes really very trying. It took me half an hour yesterday to work out (again) how to punch in and punch out of a recording, something that should be easy and obvious but is anything but.

In my old analogue studio you set the markers pressed the punch button and then record - in Cubase you press 'play', and that confused the heck out of me for several minutes and half a dozen WTF? The manual contains helpful phrases like 'arm the punch in point' without telling how or where to do that - a bit like some of the stuff in Haynes manuals. It was so much easier with a tape deck and a mixer!The Reaper manual on the other hand is simply excellent.I'm pretty sure, however, that Tracktion cannot be beaten as a free DAW. I just don't have the time to invest in it. And it doesn't like Xpand2 - the deal breaker for me!
