Vintage Software / Re: Mackie + Raw Material - Traction v1.6.0.1
« Last post by dawful on January 20, 2024, 04:43:16 PM »This is a pretty amazing DAW, especially if you are on Windows 98/ME.
I have MIDI hardware tied to Windows 98, and it is nice to have a fairly capable DAW to use with them.
Since it was "actually" meant to be used on Window 98/ME (no KenrelEx), it recognizes non Windows Drive Model (WDM) midi devices. Newer versions of Tracktion do not.
All versions of Reaper (KernelEx) can see the old Windows 98 MIDI devices. Mackie likely removed support for it, after v.1.6.0.1, because it was being bundled with their own WDM USB/FIREWIRE products. There was no need to support the older driver model, especially if encouraging people to by new devices.
It is VST/VSTi only, so DX/DXi would need a VST wrapper. Possibly one of the options provided by Xlutop (free? I Think).
The rack is pretty neat. You could use it for modular synth creation.
Overall, for a DAW fitting in this compatibility/capability range, it also one of the lightest and most performant/efficient. It does lack some of the more fancy features, found in more modern DAWs. But, for me, this DAW is very handy.

Team BEAT made two releases of this. Apparently the first had an issue, where the demo sound would come back, until you clicked the settings tab and then back to the edit tab. For me, the newer versions actually has more issue with this. I haven't had it happen to me with the older release. But who knows?
