Hey Traktion guys, i have a question, any of you used Acid P6 and Traktion (seperately) ? I am asking because, i am getting tired of Acids complexity (non-intuitive) , instability, and it seems to struggle with Op's like VST FX and VSTi's , even with superfast PC's.

i mostly use HOST ONLY for Jamstix, B4, etc... , not midi composing, etc...

Traktion is supposed to be simple and intuitive and what i need is Simple, Intuitive AND STABLE with VST Fx and VSTi's - does Traktion deliver this better than Acid?

Or if too low end, i am willing to get a moderatly priced DAW, i dont think i want Pro Tools level though ($).... I had Samplitude a few years back (before VSTi's) and Loved it, but then opted for a cheaper DAW (ACID)...hmmmmmm

I really need a DAW that does the above and has minimum PC red tape (tons of settings to tweak) so i can JUST RECORD.

Thanks ahead of time !

Thanks Chris...

...i'm not really doing electronica per say, i guess the following is what i'm trying to do:

-i used to have ALOT of Hardware instruments (Keys, drum, etc) and now alot of it is in VSTi form, so i either REC the Vsti parts (midi) and convert to Wav OR REC to External Multitrack.

...this means , i am more oriented toward REC and getting it done , as opposed LOTS of Midi tweaking, or quantizing, loops, etc.

....so i just want a STABLE, simple VSTi/VST Fx host and Audio REC DAW, thats it.
....minimum bells - whistles, Maximum stability, power and brings home the bacon.

what i have found with the DAW's ive tried over the years is most have TONS of features, and most of them dont work well (unstable, limited, etc..) and/or require BIG learning curves which are irritating, because by the time you learn it, its obsolete and your forced into a new DAW, on and on.

The one's ive tried:
-Sonar (too complicated)
-Ableton (")
-Cool Edit/Adobe (slow/unstable)
-Samplitude (Loved it but this was years ago before VSTi's)
-Cubase (hated it)

hope this helps.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Have a look at REAPER. Great host, superb support and an unbeatable price.

No, no ....... only need midi inso far as to REC a vsti, i dont really need midi elaboration (programing, etc)

I only need looping minimally too.

My focus is on Analog and Virt Analog, not Electronic music per se:

-as in Old School (but in a DAW as opposed to 16 trk TAPE) REC AUDIO and VSTi as its midi track and converting that quickly to a Wav.

Ralph suggested one above that seems interesting.

Hey billzoe,
also checkout MultitrackStudio Pro Plus that is the only one I use and its just like the old school.
